Curbside Junk Pickup in Vancouver, BC
Already moved your unwanted items outside and just need someone to haul them away? Curbside pickup can be a straightforward option when furniture, boxes or other accepted junk is ready in an accessible location. HAULTRA provides curbside junk pickup in Vancouver, BC, helping homeowners, renters, landlords and property managers clear unwanted items without arranging a truck or making disposal trips themselves. Place approved items in the agreed pickup location, tell us what you have, and we’ll help arrange the collection.
A Convenient Option When Your Junk Is Already Outside
Full-service junk removal is useful when items need to be carried from bedrooms, basements, offices or other indoor areas. But not every job requires that level of removal.
If you’ve already done the sorting and moved everything to an accessible location, curbside pickup keeps the process simple.
It can be particularly useful when you’re:
- Decluttering your home
- Replacing old furniture
- Moving to another property
- Clearing a rental unit
- Cleaning a garage
- Getting rid of several bulky items
- Preparing a property for sale
- Finishing a weekend cleanup

What Can We Pick Up From the Curb?
Curbside pickups can include many of the same accepted items handled through our other junk removal services.
Common requests may include:
Furniture
Sofas, chairs, tables, shelving, dressers and other accepted furniture may be suitable for curbside collection.
Make sure furniture is placed in the agreed accessible location without blocking public or shared areas.
Boxes and Household Clutter
Boxes of unwanted household belongings and other non-hazardous clutter may be collected when appropriately prepared for removal.
Mattresses and Bulky Items
Mattresses and certain other bulky household items may also be eligible for pickup. Tell HAULTRA exactly what you have before placing anything outside.
Selected Appliances
Some properly prepared and accepted appliances may be collected. Appliance type should be identified beforehand because different units can have different handling requirements.
Other Accepted Junk
If your items don’t fit neatly into one of these categories, send us a description or photos. It’s better to confirm acceptance before moving a large or heavy item outside.
Curbside Doesn't Mean Leaving Junk Anywhere
One important distinction: curbside pickup does not mean dumping unwanted items on a public sidewalk or street.
Items should be placed only in an appropriate location where you are permitted to leave them and where the pickup has been arranged.
Depending on the property, this could be an accessible area on private property, driveway or another agreed location.
Do not block:
- Sidewalks
- Roads or traffic
- Building entrances
- Fire exits
- Shared hallways
- Neighbouring properties
- Driveways you don’t control
Customers remain responsible for following applicable property, strata/building and local requirements while items are waiting for collection.
Curbside Pickup for Vancouver Houses
For a detached or attached home, the most suitable pickup point may be somewhere accessible near the driveway or property entrance.
The exact location should be discussed when arranging your collection.
Keeping the items consolidated rather than spread across the property can make it easier to understand the size of the load and complete the pickup efficiently.
If you have much more than a curbside pile—such as clutter throughout several rooms—our residential junk removal options may be more suitable.
What About Condos and Apartments?
“Curbside” works differently for condos and apartments.
Residents shouldn’t leave furniture or junk in common areas, hallways, loading zones or outside a building without appropriate permission.
If your building has a designated loading or disposal area, check with building management or strata before moving your belongings there.
Depending on your building, you may need to arrange:
- Elevator access
- Loading-area access
- A specific pickup window
- Building-management approval
- Temporary parking
- Access through a service entrance
Tell HAULTRA where the items will be located so we can determine whether the job fits curbside pickup or needs to be treated as a regular full-service removal.
How to Prepare Your Junk for Curbside Pickup
Good preparation makes the pickup easier for everyone.
Tell us what you have before placing everything outside, particularly appliances, unusually heavy objects or questionable materials.
Consolidate accepted items in the agreed pickup area where practical.
Check drawers, cabinets, bags and boxes for identification, documents, valuables, keys or anything else you don't intend to discard.
The crew should be able to approach and remove the items without navigating unnecessary obstacles.
Adding several large items after the original estimate can change the size and scope of the job. If your pile grows, let us know before pickup.

How Much Does Curbside Junk Pickup Cost in Vancouver?
Pricing depends on what you’re getting rid of and how much space the items require.
One chair is different from a curbside collection containing a sofa, mattress, boxes and several other bulky pieces.
Factors can include:
- Number of items
- Total volume
- Item size
- Material weight
- Accessibility
- Truck space required
HAULTRA currently lists single-item removal starting at $99, with larger general junk pickups priced according to load volume.
You can view our current junk removal pricing and send photos of your curbside load for a more relevant estimate.
Can I Get Same-Day Curbside Junk Pickup?
Possibly.
Because curbside items are already prepared for collection, customers may naturally want them gone quickly. Same-day pickup may be available depending on your Vancouver location, the items involved, load size and the team’s schedule.
If you need urgent collection, contact HAULTRA as early as possible and provide photos.
Don’t place items in a public or unauthorised location while waiting for availability to be confirmed.
What Happens to Items After Pickup?
A curbside load can contain furniture, metal, household items and other materials in different conditions.
Where practical and where appropriate options are available, suitable accepted items may be directed toward reuse, recycling or other appropriate handling channels.
Items that aren’t suitable for those options are directed toward appropriate disposal based on their material and condition.
Hazardous or regulated materials shouldn’t be hidden inside boxes or mixed into an ordinary curbside pile.

Curbside Junk Pickup FAQs
It's a pickup option for accepted unwanted items that have already been moved to an agreed, accessible location for collection.
No. Don't leave junk on a street, sidewalk or other public area unless you are specifically permitted to do so. Use the appropriate agreed pickup location.
Depending on acceptance, pickups may include furniture, boxes, mattresses, household clutter and certain appliances. Tell HAULTRA what you have before scheduling.
Yes. Single-item pickups can be requested for accepted items. HAULTRA currently lists single-item removal starting at $99.
Items can be prepared in the agreed location, but you remain responsible for property rules and keeping public or shared areas clear. Confirm the pickup before leaving items outside.
