Furniture Removal in Chestermere, Alberta

Furniture Removal · Chestermere · 3 min read

If you live in Chestermere, you know the drill — basements flood, people upgrade their living room sets, or you finally clear out that rental property near the lake. Whatever the reason, you need the old furniture gone, and you don't want to make three trips to the dump in your pickup.

I'm TJ. I run a small junk removal truck here in Chestermere, and I handle furniture removal for homeowners, landlords, and anyone else who just needs a couch, bed frame, or full living room suite to disappear.

How Furniture Removal Works in Chestermere

Most jobs in Chestermere fall into one of three categories:

  • Whole-house cleanouts — usually from a house in Lakeside or Rainbow Estates when someone is downsizing or handling an estate.
  • Single-item pickups — a worn-out recliner from a condo near the marina, or a heavy oak dresser someone wants out of a basement in Kinniburgh.
  • Rental turnovers — landlords in West Chestermere calling me between tenants to clear out leftover furniture the last renter left behind.

I arrive with a crew of two, we load everything onto the truck, and we haul it away. No hidden fees. I quote you a flat price based on how much space your furniture takes up in the truck. If you're not sure, send me a photo by text and I'll give you a rough number.

What Locals Actually Need Hauled

Chestermere homes tend to be newer than in older Calgary neighbourhoods, but the furniture turnover is still constant. Here's what I pull out most often:

  • Sectional couches — those big L-shaped ones that don't fit through basement doors without taking them apart.
  • Mattresses and box springs — the city won't take them with regular pickup, and they're heavy to drag to the transfer station yourself.
  • Old wooden bed frames and headboards — solid oak stuff that weighs a ton and nobody wants to move.
  • Particle-board furniture — the Ikea shelves and dressers that fall apart if you try to disassemble them.
  • Futons and guest room furniture — stuff that sat in a basement for years and now smells musty.

I take all of it. If it's furniture, I haul it. I also take electronics, appliances, and general junk in the same load if you're doing a full cleanout.

Where I Pick Up in Chestermere

I cover the whole city, including:

  • Lakeside — especially the older homes near the water where basements have taken on moisture over the years.
  • Kinniburgh — newer builds with basement suites that need furnishing or clearing out.
  • Rainbow Estates — larger homes where estate cleanouts are common.
  • West Chestermere — lots of rental properties and townhomes.
  • The Cove and Dawson's Landing — I get calls from these areas mostly for single-item pickups.

I also cover the rural acreages just outside Chestermere city limits. If you're on Range Road 284 or Township Road 240, just ask — I'll come out there too.

What It Costs

I charge by how much of the truck your furniture fills. A single couch or mattress set runs around $120–$180. A full living room suite or a basement full of old furniture runs $300–$500, depending on the load size. I take cash, e-transfer, or credit card on site.

I don't charge extra for stairs unless it's a third-floor walkup with no elevator — and most Chestermere homes don't have that problem anyway.

Why Call Me Instead of Renting a Trailer

You can rent a trailer from U-Haul on West Chestermere Drive and haul it to the dump yourself. But you're paying for the trailer rental, the fuel, the dump fees, and your own time. Plus you have to lift everything yourself. I do all the lifting, I know the Chestermere transfer station hours, and I'm in and out in under an hour for most jobs.

If you've got furniture that needs to go, call or text me at (825) 559-2766. I'll come take a look, give you a straight price, and have it loaded before lunch.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take furniture from basements in Chestermere?

Yes. Most homes in Lakeside and Kinniburgh have basement walkouts or stairs, and my crew carries everything up. No extra charge for a flight of stairs.

Will you haul furniture from a rental property between tenants?

Absolutely. I do a lot of rental turnovers in West Chestermere and the townhome complexes. I'll take whatever the last tenant left behind — couches, bed frames, dressers, even old appliances.

Do you take furniture with stains or damage?

I take it as-is. Rips, stains, broken legs — doesn't matter. I'm hauling it to the transfer station, not reselling it.

Can you take a mattress and box spring in Chestermere?

Yes, I haul mattresses and box springs all the time. The city doesn't take them curbside, so that's one of my most common pickups here.

Do you serve the acreages outside Chestermere?

Yes. If you're on an acreage along Range Road 284 or Township Road 240, just mention it when you call. I come out that way regularly.
