Junk Removal in Cochrane — No Two Loads Are the Same

I started TJ's Junk Removal because Cochrane needed a straightforward, no-surprises way to get rid of junk. I live here. I know the town. And I know that what needs hauling away in a place like Cochrane is different from what you'd see in Calgary or Airdrie.

Whether you're cleaning out a basement off Highway 22, clearing brush from a property near the Bow River, or finally tackling that pile behind the garage in Sunset Ridge — I come to you, load it up, and take it away. Simple as that.

What Cochrane Homeowners Actually Call About

Cochrane has a mix of older homes in the downtown core, newer subdivisions like Heartland and Heritage Hills, and plenty of acreages on the outskirts. That variety means the junk jobs vary a lot.

Here's what I haul most often around town:

  • Old furniture and mattresses — basements, garages, and rental cleanouts. Cochrane families upgrade their living room sets more than you'd think, and nobody wants to wrestle a couch into a pickup truck.
  • Renovation debris — drywall scraps, old flooring, trim, and lumber from bathroom or basement reno jobs in places like Fireside and Riverview. Builders and homeowners both call me when the dump trailer is full.
  • Yard waste and tree debris — especially after a Chinook or spring melt. Branches come down, gardens get cleaned up, and people need it gone before the next weekend.
  • Hot tubs and old appliances — getting a broken hot tub out of a backyard in Cochrane is a specific kind of headache. I bring a crew and the right gear so you don't have to tear up your deck or your back.
  • Garage cleanouts — Cochrane winters are long. By spring, the garage is a disaster zone. I empty it out so you can actually park inside again.

How the Job Works in Cochrane

Free, no-obligation estimates. I'll come to your property, take a look at what needs to go, and give you a firm price on the spot. No video calls, no guessing games.

I do the loading. You don't lift a finger. I bring a crew and a truck, we haul everything out, and we sweep up after ourselves.

I take it all to the right place. Stuff that can be donated — usable furniture, working appliances — I drop at the Cochrane Salvation Army or other local charities. Metal gets recycled. The rest goes to the Cochrane landfill or the Shepard transfer station, depending on what it is. I don't dump illegally, and I don't cut corners.

Same-day or next-day service when you need it. If you're on a deadline — closing day, move-out date, or just sick of looking at that pile — call me. I'll fit you in.

Pricing — Honest and Upfront

I charge by how much space your junk takes up in the truck, not by the pound. A quarter load runs less than a full load, and I'll tell you exactly what it costs before I start.

No hidden fees. No disposal surcharges. No "oh, that's extra" surprises.

If you're on an acreage outside town, I still come to you. Same pricing, same process.

What Locals Ask Me

Do you take construction debris from a home reno? Yes. Drywall, lumber, tile, carpet, old cabinets — I haul it all. Just let me know what's in the pile so I bring the right truck.

Can you move junk out of a basement with no easy access? I've hauled junk out of basements in the old part of Cochrane where the stairs are narrow and the doors are tight. I bring a crew that knows how to maneuver. It's not a problem.

Do you recycle or donate anything? Absolutely. Usable furniture and appliances go to local charities. Metal, electronics, and scrap get recycled. I try to keep as much out of the landfill as I can.

What parts of Cochrane do you cover? All of it. Downtown, Sunset Ridge, Heartland, Heritage Hills, Fireside, Riverview, Glenbow, and every acreage and rural property in Cochrane's municipal limits. If you're in Cochrane, I'll get there.

Do I need to be home when you come? Not necessarily. If you leave the junk accessible and we agree on a time, I can handle it without you there. I'll send you a photo of the empty space when I'm done.


If you've got junk in Cochrane that needs to go, give me a call. I'll come take a look, give you a price, and get it done.
