Construction Debris Removal in Okotoks
Construction debris removal for Okotoks jobs
If you're mid-renovation in Okotoks, you know the drill — the pile in the driveway grows faster than you can haul it. Whether it's a basement reno off Milligan Drive, a new deck in Westridge, or a full kitchen gut in the old downtown section, the debris has to go somewhere. That's where we come in. TJ's Junk Removal shows up with a truck and a couple of strong backs, loads everything, and takes it to the right facility — no dump runs, no borrowed trailer, no favours called in.
What we haul on Okotoks construction sites
We handle the full range of what a build or reno in this town throws at you:
- Drywall and plaster — busted sheets, mud buckets, corner bead, old ceiling tiles
- Lumber and framing waste — cut-offs, treated 2x4s, OSB, plywood, form boards
- Concrete, brick and block — broken slabs, old walkways, chimney brick, cinder block
- Roofing tear-off — shingles, underlayment, felt, nails, ice shield
- Flooring — old carpet, underlay, tile, laminate, hardwood off-cuts
- Cabinets, counters and fixtures — full kitchen or bath tear-outs, sinks, tubs, vanities
- Mixed site waste — packaging, strapping, fasteners, and everything else that accumulates
We don't cherry-pick. If it's construction waste, we take it in one load.
How it works in Okotoks specifically
Okotoks has its own quirks that make hauling different here than in Calgary or High River. For starters, there's no municipal landfill within town limits — you're hauling to the Foothills regional landfill or a private transfer site, and if you don't know the drop-off rules, you'll waste a morning. We do. We know which facilities take concrete versus clean fill versus mixed C&D, and we know the weight and load limits so you're not getting turned around at the gate.
There's also the matter of the town's green building culture. Okotoks is the kind of place where people sort their construction waste properly — metal goes to scrap, clean wood gets separated, drywall goes to the right pile. We're happy to work that way. If you want your debris sorted for recycling, tell us upfront and we'll keep loads separated. It costs a little more in time, but a lot of folks in town want it done right.
And neighbourhood access matters. A reno on a narrow street near the downtown core or in the older sections off North Railway Street means tight maneuvering and no room for a bin. We bring the truck right to the pile, so you don't need to stage a dumpster that blocks the lane for a week. In newer areas like Air Ranch or Wedderburn, we'll still park at the curb and wheel the debris out — whatever the driveway situation calls for.
Honest pricing for Okotoks homeowners
We quote by the space your debris takes in the truck, not by a made-up flat rate. The bundles are simple: a quarter truck is $150, a half truck is $250, three-quarters is $375, and a full truck is $500 — labour, sweep-up, and disposal fees all included. A typical bathroom reno is usually a quarter to half truck; a full kitchen gut or whole-house reno can run a full load or more. Concrete and heavy material carry a small surcharge because the disposal fees are higher at the Foothills facility.
I'll give you a straight estimate over the phone before we come out. If it's a bigger job, I'll come take a look in person so the quote is honest. What I quote is what you pay — no surprise "weight fees" tacked on at the end.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take concrete and heavy construction material in Okotoks?
Yes. Concrete, brick, block and asphalt all go in the truck, but they cost a bit more because of the extra weight and higher disposal fees at the Foothills facility. Tell us what's in the pile when you call so the quote is accurate.
Can you separate my construction waste for recycling?
Absolutely. Okotoks residents often want clean wood, metal and drywall sorted for recycling. Let us know when you book and we'll keep the loads separated — it takes a little longer but it's the right way to do it.
Do I need a dumpster permit for my reno in Okotoks?
Not with us — we use a truck, not a bin, so there's no bin to place on the street or driveway. That means no permit hassle and no waiting days for a rental company to swap out a full bin.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Okotoks?
You pay for the space the debris takes in the truck: a quarter truck is $150, a half is $250, three-quarters is $375, and a full truck is $500 — labour, sweep-up, and disposal included. Kitchen guts and full-house renos can run more than one load, and concrete carries a small weight surcharge. You'll get a straight quote before we load anything.
Will you haul from inside the house or basement?
Yes. We'll carry debris out of basements, up stairs, or out of a garage — whatever it takes. We bring our own gloves and we're careful with your floors and walls on the way out.
