Everything We Take, A to Z

#

2x4s: See Lumber.

A

AA batteries: See Household batteries.
Above-ground pool: Drained, dismantled and hauled: walls, frame and liner. The steel walls go to scrap. The ground underneath usually needs levelling and seeding afterwards, which is exactly the kind of work our landscaping side does. Hot Tubs, Spas & Pools
AC unit: See Air conditioner.
Acoustic tile: See Ceiling tile.
Adjustable base: See Adjustable bed.
Adjustable bed: The base has motors and wiring, so it goes through electronics and scrap rather than mattress recycling. Hospital beds are heavy and usually come apart first. Mattresses & Bedding
Aerosol cans: See Chemicals.
Air conditioner: Contains refrigerant, so it goes the same certified route as a fridge. Central air condensers must be disconnected by an HVAC technician before we take them. Appliances & HVAC
Air purifier: See Dehumidifier.
All-in-one printer: See Printer.
Aluminium: See Scrap metal.
Aluminium siding: See Siding.
Aluminum: See Scrap metal.
Ammunition: We can’t take this Ammunition, fireworks and explosives cannot go in a trailer. Call the Winnipeg Police Service non-emergency line and ask about safe disposal. Where it goes
Amplifier: See Stereo.
Antenna: See Satellite dish.
Antifreeze: See Motor oil.
Apartment cleanout: See Rental cleanout.
Appliance boxes: See Construction cardboard.
Aquarium: Completely empty and dry first. A large tank is heavy glass and awkward to carry. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Arcade cabinet: Heavy, top-heavy and full of electronics. The glass comes out before it moves. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Arcade machine: See Arcade cabinet.
Area rug: See Carpet.
Armchair: See Recliner.
Armoire: See Dresser.
Artificial Christmas tree: See Home decor.
Asbestos: We can’t take this Removing or hauling it without licensing is illegal and genuinely dangerous. Have suspect material tested first, then use a licensed abatement contractor. We are glad to haul everything else once it is cleared. Where it goes
Asphalt: Priced by weight, like concrete. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material
Asphalt driveway: See Asphalt.
Asphalt shingles: See Shingles.
Attic cleanout: Narrow hatches and pull-down ladders make attics slow work. Tell us what the access is like when you book. Estate, Hoarding & Cleanouts
Attic cleanup: See Attic cleanout.

Bar stools: See Dining table.
Barbecue: See BBQ.

Basement cleanup: See Basement cleanout.
Basement clearout: See Basement cleanout.
Basement demolition: See Interior demolition.

Basketball net: See Basketball hoop.
Bathroom demolition: See Interior demolition.
Bathroom vanity: See Kitchen cabinets.
Bathtub: Acrylic and fibreglass tubs and shower stalls are light. Cast iron tubs are a very different job and have their own entry under heavy awkward items. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Batt insulation: See Insulation.
BBQ: We take the barbecue, but not the propane tank attached to it. Disconnect the tank first and take it to a propane exchange or a 4R Depot. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
BBQ propane tank: See Propane tank.
Bed base: See Box spring.
Bed bug furniture: See Bed bug mattress.
Bed bug infested mattress: See Bed bug mattress.
Bed bug mattress: Tell us before we arrive, and we will still take it. It is sealed in plastic on site so nothing spreads through your hallway or into our trailer, and it is kept apart from the rest of the load. Most companies in Winnipeg refuse these outright. Mattresses & Bedding
Bed frame: Taken apart if it is still assembled. Metal frames go to scrap and solid wood ones can often be reused. Mattresses are their own category, and we take both in the same trip. Furniture & Household
Bedding: See Pillows.
Bedding sand: See Sand.
Bicycle: Bikes in rideable condition go to reuse programs rather than scrap. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
Big screen TV: See Tube TV.

Biohazard waste: See Medical waste.
Blacktop: See Asphalt.
Blender: See Microwave.
Blinds: See Clothing.
Blu-ray player: See DVD player.
Boiler: See Furnace.
Bookcase: Glass doors and shelves come out and travel separately. Particleboard units rarely survive being moved and go to disposal; solid wood gets offered for reuse. Furniture & Household
Books: Books in reasonable condition go to reuse. Personal documents are different: shred anything with names, addresses or account numbers first. We haul; we do not shred. Furniture & Household
Bookshelf: See Bookcase.
Boulders: See Stone.
Box spring: A box spring is mostly wood and steel, which is exactly what the recycler recovers. It goes with the mattress in the same trip. Mattresses & Bedding
Boxspring: See Box spring.
Branches: City yard waste collection only takes branches under 10 cm across and a metre long, bundled. Anything bigger, or a whole pile of it, is where we come in. Yard Waste & Seasonal
Brick: Heavy and dense. Clean brick is priced at the clean concrete rate. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material
Brick pavers: See Brick.
Bricks: See Brick.
Brine tank: See Water softener.
Broadloom: See Carpet.
Broken concrete: See Concrete.
Brush: A torn-out cedar hedge is dense and springy, and takes far more trailer space than it looks like it will on the lawn. Cut it into lengths if you can. Yard Waste & Seasonal
Brush pile: See Brush.
Buffet: See Bookcase.
Built-in dishwasher: See Dishwasher.

Bunk bed: See Bed frame.

Car battery: Intact, upright and not leaking, and it goes to recycling. A cracked or leaking battery is hazardous and belongs at a 4R Depot, which takes them free. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
Car doors: See Car parts.
Car parts: Drained of fluids first. We take parts, not whole vehicles: a car needs a licensed auto recycler who can handle the fluids and the ownership transfer. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
Car seat: See Toys.
Car tires: See Tires.
Cardboard boxes: See Moving boxes.
Carpet: Rolled and taped before it moves. Wet carpet out of a flooded basement weighs several times what dry carpet does, so tell us if it is wet. Furniture & Household

Cast iron bathtub: See Cast iron tub.
Cast iron pipe: See Radiator.
Cast iron radiator: See Radiator.

Cedar hedge: See Brush.
Ceiling panels: See Ceiling tile.
Ceiling tile: Older ceiling tiles are another material worth testing for asbestos before they come down. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Cell phone: Take out the SIM card and factory-reset the device first. The battery inside goes to the proper recycling stream. Electronics, TVs & E-Waste
Cell phones: See Cell phone.
Central air condenser: See Air conditioner.
Ceramic tile: See Tile.

Chain-link: See Chain link fence.
Chairs: See Dining table.
Chandelier: See Lamp.
Charcoal grill: See BBQ.
Chargers: See Cables.

Chest freezer: See Freezer.
Chest of drawers: See Dresser.
Chesterfield: See Couch.
Chimney brick: See Brick.
China cabinet: See Bookcase.
Christmas tree: Stripped of lights and tinsel first. The City runs its own tree collection each January. If you missed it, or the tree has sat frozen in the yard until April, we will take it. Yard Waste & Seasonal
Church organ: See Organ.
Church pews: Long, solid and heavy, and usually leaving a building with a tight corner somewhere on the way out. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Cinder blocks: Priced by weight, and at the clean concrete rate if they are clean. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material

Cold frame: See Greenhouse.
Comforter: See Pillows.
Commercial dishwasher: See Commercial kitchen equipment.
Commercial freezer: See Vending machine.

Commercial lot cleanup: See Job site cleanup.
Commercial range: See Commercial kitchen equipment.
Composite deck: See Deck.
Compost bin: Plastic compost bins and rain barrels go with a yard cleanup. Yard Waste & Seasonal
Compressed gas cylinder: See Propane tank.
Computer: Pull the hard drive before we take it, or destroy it. We do not wipe drives, and you should not assume anyone later in the chain will either. That is the only data advice we can actually stand behind. Electronics, TVs & E-Waste
Computer desk: See Office desk.
Computer monitor: See Monitor.
Concrete: Broken out with the skid steer and hauled the same visit. Keep it clean, with no rebar mesh, wood or dirt through it, and it tips at $11.30 a tonne at Brady Road instead of $99. That difference comes straight off your price. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material
Concrete blocks: See Cinder blocks.
Concrete footings: See Deck footings.
Concrete slab: See Concrete.
Console piano: See Upright piano.
Console TV: See Tube TV.
Construction cardboard: The mountain of packaging a renovation leaves behind. Flattened, it takes surprisingly little room. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Construction site cleanup: See Job site cleanup.
Cooktop: See Stove.
Copier: See Printer.
Copper: See Scrap metal.
Copper pipe: See Radiator.
Cords: See Cables.

Crawl space: See Basement cleanout.
Crib: See Bed frame.
Crib mattress: Small, but still not something the City will take at the curb. Mattresses & Bedding
CRT television: See Tube TV.
CRT TV: See Tube TV.

Cubicle partition: See Office desk.
Curtains: See Clothing.
Cut tree: See Tree debris.

D

Davenport: See Couch.
Daybed: See Bed frame.
Deadfall: See Branches.
Deck: Boards, joists, railings and stairs. Winter is genuinely the gentlest time to take a deck out, because frozen ground does not rut under the weight. Sheds, Decks, Fences & Garages
Deck boards: See Deck.
Deck chairs: See Patio furniture.
Deck footings: Come out with the skid steer. They are concrete, so they are priced by weight. Sheds, Decks, Fences & Garages
Deck stairs: See Deck.
Decor: See Home decor.
Deep freeze: See Freezer.
Deep fryer: See Commercial kitchen equipment.
Dehumidifier: Dehumidifiers contain refrigerant, so they go to a certified recycler rather than general disposal. Appliances & HVAC
Demo: See Interior demolition.
Demolition: See Interior demolition.
Desk: See Office desk.
Desktop computer: See Computer.
Detached garage: A garage teardown is a structural demolition and usually needs a City of Winnipeg permit, which is on the property owner. The slab comes out separately and is priced by weight. Sheds, Decks, Fences & Garages
Dining chairs: See Dining table.
Dining table: Legs come off wherever they can, which is usually the difference between getting a table out of a dining room and not. Chair sets in decent condition are some of the easiest things to rehome. Furniture & Household
Dirt: Clean fill tips at $9 a tonne at Brady Road, which makes clean dirt one of the least expensive heavy loads to dispose of. Winnipeg clay is dense and wet, and weighs more than dry soil. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material
Disaster cleanup: See Flood cleanup.
Dishwasher: We handle the water line and the drain if you have not. It goes to scrap. Appliances & HVAC
Display cabinet: See Bookcase.
Documents: See Books.
Dog run: See Chain link fence.
Doors: Solid doors in good condition are good reuse candidates. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Double mattress: See Mattress.
Downsizing: Moving from a family home to somewhere smaller usually means deciding about decades of belongings in a few weeks. We work to your moving date, and seniors get 10% off. Estate, Hoarding & Cleanouts
Downspouts: See Eavestrough.
Dresser: Empty the drawers first. A full dresser can weigh twice what an empty one does, and that weight is time on the stairs. Solid wood pieces in good shape are offered for reuse before anything else. Furniture & Household
Driveway: See Concrete.
Drop ceiling: See Ceiling tile.
Dryer: Electric dryers unplug. Gas dryers need a licensed gas fitter to disconnect them first. The vent comes out with it. Appliances & HVAC
Drywall: Among the most common renovation materials, and heavier per load than people expect. Joint compound in older homes can contain asbestos, so if you are unsure, have it tested before demolition rather than after. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Ductwork: See Furnace.
Dumbbells: See Free weights.
Duvet: See Pillows.
DVD player: Small and light, and all of it goes to certified e-waste recycling rather than general disposal. Electronics, TVs & E-Waste

End table: See Entertainment centre.
Endless pool: See Swim spa.
Engine parts: See Car parts.
Entertainment center: See Entertainment centre.
Entertainment centre: Old wall-unit entertainment centres are among the heaviest things in a typical living room, and they rarely fit back through the door they came in by. They come apart first. Furniture & Household
Estate cleanout: Whole houses cleared at the pace the family needs. Anything you flag is set aside rather than thrown out, paperwork and photographs go in one place, and we send photos on completion if you need them for the estate. Estate, Hoarding & Cleanouts
Estate clearance: See Estate cleanout.
Eviction cleanout: See Rental cleanout.
Excavation spoil: See Dirt.
Exercise bike: See Exercise equipment.
Exercise equipment: Mostly steel, which means it is heavy and it is scrap-yard material. Home gyms with a weight stack come apart before they move. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto

Exterior doors: See Doors.

F

Fall leaves: See Leaves.

Fieldstone: See Stone.
File cabinet: See Filing cabinet.

Flagstone: See Patio stones.
Flares: See Ammunition.
Flat screen TV: See Television.
Flood cleanup: Soaked drywall, carpet and furniture out of a flooded basement. Anything contaminated by sewage or significant mould needs a remediation company involved, and we will say so plainly if that is where it has got to. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Floor lamp: See Lamp.
Floor safe: See Safe.
Flooring: Pulled up and hauled. Old sheet vinyl and the black mastic under it can contain asbestos in older Winnipeg homes, so test before tearing it out. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Flower pots: See Planters.
Fluorescent tubes: See Light bulbs.
Foam mattress: See Memory foam mattress.
Footboard: See Bed frame.
Foreclosure cleanout: Cleared and documented for realtors and property managers. Estate, Hoarding & Cleanouts
Foundation: See Box spring.
Framing lumber: See Lumber.
Free weights: Small, dense and heavy. Cast iron plates go straight to scrap. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
Freezer: The same refrigerant rules as a fridge. A chest freezer out of a basement is one of the more awkward carries in a house, so mention the stairs. Working units qualify for the same free Efficiency Manitoba pickup and rebate. Appliances & HVAC
Fridge: Refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before a fridge is scrapped, so it goes to a certified recycler and never the landfill. An honest note first: if yours still works, Efficiency Manitoba will pick it up free and pay you a $30 rebate. Take that. We will take the dead one. Appliances & HVAC
Front-load washer: See Washer.
Fuel: See Motor oil.
Full house clearout: See Whole house cleanout.
Furnace: Usually removed during a replacement, when your HVAC contractor has already disconnected it. The steel goes to scrap. Appliances & HVAC

Grandfather clock: The weights and pendulum come out first so nothing swings loose on the way down. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Granite countertop: See Granite slab.
Granite slab: Stone countertops are carried on edge because they are brittle across their length. Priced by weight. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Grass clippings: Heavy when wet. Taken as part of a yard cleanup. Yard Waste & Seasonal

Hoarder house: See Hoarding cleanup.
Hoarding cleanout: See Hoarding cleanup.
Hoarding cleanup: Handled without commentary, at a pace the person involved can manage. If there is significant biohazard, mould or pest infestation, a remediation company needs to be involved too, and we will say so plainly rather than make it worse. Estate, Hoarding & Cleanouts
Holiday decorations: See Home decor.
Home decor: The seasonal decorations of a few decades are a regular part of any basement or garage cleanout. Furniture & Household
Home gym: See Exercise equipment.
Horsehair plaster: See Plaster.
Hospital bed: See Adjustable bed.
Hot tub: Usually 500 to 900 lbs empty, and nearly always behind a gate narrower than the tub. It gets cut into sections on site, which is normal and included. We disconnect at the whip; anything at the panel is an electrician's job. Hot Tubs, Spas & Pools
Hot tub cover: A waterlogged cover can weigh several times what it did new. Hot Tubs, Spas & Pools
Hot tub enclosure: See Gazebo.
Hot water heater: See Water heater.
Hot water radiator: See Radiator.
Hot water tank: See Water heater.

Household batteries: Bag them, and tape the ends of any lithium or 9-volt batteries so they cannot short. Swollen or leaking batteries are a different matter: call us first. Electronics, TVs & E-Waste

Humidifier: See Dehumidifier.
Hutch: See Bookcase.
HVAC ducting: See Furnace.

I

In-ground hoop: See Basketball hoop.

Interior demolition: We do the tear-out as well as the haul-away: non-structural walls, kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Anything load-bearing needs an engineer and a permit first, and in an older home asbestos testing comes before any of it. Renovation & Demolition Debris
Interior doors: See Doors.
Interlocking brick: See Patio stones.
Iron: See Scrap metal.

J

Jacuzzi: See Hot tub.

LED TV: See Television.

M

Mac: See Computer.
Magazines: See Books.

Mattress topper: See Memory foam mattress.
Media console: See Entertainment centre.
Medical waste: We can’t take this Sharps and biohazard waste need controlled handling. Most pharmacies take back sharps containers and unused medication. Where it goes

Plaster and lathe: See Plaster.

Play structure: See Playset.
Playground: See Playset.
Playhouse: Plastic playhouses come apart. Wooden ones are taken down like a small shed. Hot Tubs, Spas & Pools

S

Safe: Tell us the size and whether it is bolted down. Gun safes can pass 500 lbs and must be empty, and we need to know that before we arrive. Pianos & Heavy Awkward Items
Sand: Priced by weight. Concrete, Dirt & Heavy Material
Sandbox sand: See Sand.

Screen: See Monitor.
Screen house: See Gazebo.
Sectional: Nearly all of them come apart at the connectors, which is how they got into the room in the first place. Tell us if yours has a recliner or a sofa-bed module, because those put a lot of weight into one piece. Furniture & Household

Sod: Priced by weight, because a roll of wet sod is mostly soil and water. Common when a lawn is being replaced with a patio or garden. Yard Waste & Seasonal

T

Tablet: See Cell phone.

Treadmill: About 250 to 300 lbs, and the deck folds but the frame does not. A basement treadmill is a two-person carry with stair gear. The steel frame goes to scrap, so a load of gym equipment often prices like an all-metal load. Scrap Metal, Tires & Auto
Treadmills: See Treadmill.
