Junk Removal in Okotoks — TJ's Junk Removal

Junk Removal in Okotoks — No Truck Required

I'm TJ. I run a small junk removal truck out of Okotoks, and I handle every job myself. If you live in Okotoks, you already know that getting rid of large junk here isn't as simple as putting it out on the curb. The Town of Okotoks has specific waste bylaws, bulky item pickup schedules are limited, and if you're in a newer neighbourhood like Cimarron or Westmount, your HOA might have rules about what can sit in your driveway and for how long.

That's where I come in. I show up, load whatever you need gone, and haul it to the proper facilities in the Foothills region — whether that's the Okotoks Eco Centre, the Shepard landfill, or a donation drop-off if the stuff is still usable. No middlemen, no dispatchers, just me and my truck.

What Okotoks Homeowners Actually Need Hauled

I've been doing this long enough to know what piles up in Okotoks homes. Here's the stuff I haul out most often:

Basement and garage cleanouts. Okotoks has a lot of homes built between the late '90s and early 2010s — especially in Mountain View, D'Arcy Ranch, and the older parts of town near the river. Those garages collect years of broken tools, old sporting gear, leftover renovation materials, and boxes that never got unpacked. I've cleared out garages so full you couldn't park a bike in them.

Furniture and appliances. Okotoks families upgrade furniture pretty regularly, and the old stuff often ends up in a basement or shed because nobody wants to wrestle a sofa into a pickup truck. I'll take it all — couches, mattresses, fridges, washers, dryers. I drain and dispose of appliances properly, and I'll haul mattresses to the Eco Centre where they recycle the metal springs.

Yard waste and fencing. After a windstorm or a hard winter, I get calls from people along Northridge Drive and the newer sections of Cimarron who have broken fence panels, dead trees, or piles of branches. I'll take it to the Eco Centre's yard waste drop-off — they turn it into mulch for the town's flower beds.

Renovation debris. If you're redoing a basement in Drake Landing or adding a deck in Westmount, you'll end up with drywall scraps, old carpet, and lumber that won't fit in your bin. I haul construction debris separately so it can be sorted properly at the landfill.

How It Works in Okotoks

I keep this simple because you don't have time for a song and dance.

1. Call or text me at (825) 559-2766. Tell me what you've got and where in Okotoks you are. If you're not sure whether I can take something, just ask — I'll tell you straight up.

2. I give you a firm price over the phone. I don't charge by the pound or the cubic yard because that always ends up costing more than quoted. I look at the pile and give you one number. If it changes when I see it in person, I'll tell you before I start loading.

3. I come to your place. I serve every neighbourhood in Okotoks — Cimarron, Westmount, Mountain View, D'Arcy Ranch, Drake Landing, Air Ranch, and the older homes near downtown and the Sheep River. I'll pull into your driveway, alley, or street and load everything myself. You don't lift a finger.

4. I haul it away and dispose of it properly. I sort what I can for donation and recycling, and the rest goes to the appropriate landfill or transfer station. I don't dump stuff illegally — that's not how I do business.

Pricing — What to Expect in Okotoks

I'm not going to hide my rates. Most Okotoks jobs run between $100 and $500 depending on the truck-space bundle you need. A truckload of mixed household junk — furniture, boxes, odds and ends — typically lands around the half-truck to full-truck range, so $250 to $500. A single large item like a couch or a fridge is usually a light to small load, so $100 to $150. And if you've got mattresses, tires, concrete, dirt & brick, or fridges with Freon, those carry an extra fee — I'll spell it out in your quote up front, along with the $50 minimum on small loads.

I take cash, e-transfer, and credit card. No hidden fees, no disposal surcharges, no "environmental fee" nonsense.

Why I Do It This Way

I grew up in the Foothills and I live in Okotoks. I see my customers at the grocery store and at the gas station. If I did a bad job, word would get around fast. So I make sure every job is done right — loaded carefully, hauled legally, and priced fairly. That's it.
