Furniture Removal in Okotoks – TJ's Junk Removal
Furniture Removal in Okotoks – We Haul It All
I'm TJ, and I run a small junk removal outfit right here in Okotoks. If you need a couch out of a basement suite in Cimarron, a heavy china cabinet from a house off North Railway Street, or a whole basement full of old furniture from a place near the Sheep River, I'm your guy. I come with a truck and a strong back, and I take everything to the proper disposal or donation spots around town.
This page is about furniture removal specifically in Okotoks — not Calgary, not High River, not some generic service that covers the whole region. I live and work here, and I know this town.
What Okotoks Homes Actually Need Hauled
Furniture removal in Okotoks tends to fall into a few patterns, based on the neighbourhoods and the kinds of homes here:
Cimarron and Westmount estates – Bigger houses mean bigger furniture. Sectional couches that can't make the corner on the stairs. Heavy solid-wood dining tables. Old entertainment centres the size of a small car. I've pulled all of these out of walkout basements and second-storey bedrooms in these areas.
Drake Landing and Mountain View – Newer homes, but people still upgrade. I haul out the "builder-grade" stuff they're replacing — cheap faux-leather couches, laminate dressers, pressboard bookshelves that fell apart after one move. Also, a lot of old furniture from in-law suites when the tenant moves out.
Downtown Okotoks and older neighbourhoods near Elizabeth Street – Smaller character homes, narrow doorways, tight staircases. I've dismantled bed frames and taken apart couches just to get them out of a 1950s bungalow. If you live near the old downtown core, I know how to work in tight spaces without scraping your doorframes.
Ranch-style homes and acreages on the edges of town – People out near Big Rock or along 32 Street often have multiple pieces — sometimes a whole household's worth from a downsizing parent. I load it all in one trip.
How the Job Works in Okotoks
I keep it simple. You call or text me at (825) 559-2766. Tell me what you've got and where in Okotoks you are. I'll give you a straight price over the phone — no hidden fees, no "well, it depends" when I show up.
I usually schedule same-week pickups. If you're in a rush, I can often be there the same day, especially if the job is straightforward.
I show up alone or with one other guy. We load everything into my truck. I sweep the floor or the driveway after. Then I take it all away.
Where it goes depends on what it is:
- Usable furniture in decent shape goes to the Okotoks Salvation Army or ReStore on Southridge Drive.
- Worn-out, broken, or stained stuff goes to the Foothills Regional Landfill out on 32 Street East.
- Mattresses and box springs — I take those to the proper recycling drop-off in the Foothills area. They don't go in a ditch or some back alley.
I don't dump anything. I don't leave a mess. And I don't charge you extra for the trip to the landfill.
What Affects the Price for Furniture Removal in Okotoks
I get asked about pricing a lot, so here's the honest version:
How much furniture and how big – A single armchair is one price. A full three-piece bedroom suite plus a couch and coffee table is another. I price by the truckload, not by the piece, so it usually works in your favour if you've got multiple items.
Where it's sitting – If the couch is on the main floor by the front door, that's easy. If it's in a basement rec room with a narrow spiral staircase and a 90-degree turn at the bottom, that takes more time. I don't nickel-and-dime you on it, but I'll tell you upfront if it's a tough one.
Stairs and distance – Walkout basement with ground-level access? No charge. Carrying a heavy sectional up two flights of stairs from a basement suite in Cimarron? I factor that in honestly.
Disposal fees – I include disposal in my quote. You don't pay extra for the landfill or the recycling drop-off. The price I tell you is the price you pay.
A Few Things I Won't Do
I don't do hazardous waste. I don't take paint, chemicals, or asbestos-ridden junk. And I don't do "we'll come pick through it and decide what we want" — I haul everything or nothing. If you need a full cleanout, I'm your guy. If you want me to cherry-pick the good stuff and leave the rest, that's not how I work.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take old mattresses in Okotoks?
Yes. I haul mattresses and box springs to the proper recycling drop-off in the Foothills area. They don't go to the landfill if they can be recycled.
Will you take furniture from a basement suite in Cimarron?
Absolutely. I work in Cimarron all the time. If the stairs are tight, I'll disassemble what I can and carry it out piece by piece.
What if my furniture is broken or stained — can you still take it?
Yes. I take furniture in any condition. If it's usable, I try to donate it. If it's trashed, it goes to the landfill. Either way, I haul it.
Do you remove furniture from upstairs bedrooms?
Yes. I carry furniture up and down stairs all day. I just need to know ahead of time so I can bring the right straps and padding.
How fast can you get to Okotoks?
I'm local, so I can usually be there the same week, often the same day for straightforward jobs. Call me at (825) 559-2766 and I'll fit you in.
