Why JunkPal is Voted the Best Junk Removal in Ottawa: The "Pal" Experience

With 2 years of experience serving the capital, we've learned that "junk removal" is about more than just hauling trash—it's about supporting our neighbors and protecting our local environment.

At JunkPal Removal & Hauling, we've built our reputation on being the most reliable, transparent, and community-focused team in the city. Here is why Ottawa residents choose us for their cleanouts:

Garage full of junk

Our "Donation-First" Refund Policy

We believe that if your items still have value, you shouldn't pay full price to get rid of them. While other companies pocket the savings from avoiding landfill fees, we pass them back to you.

How it works:

We have built strong working relationships with local charities like Matthew House, Habitat for Humanity, and Value Village. If we successfully donate your furniture or household goods, we refund the weight/disposal cost savings directly back to you.

Deeply Rooted in the Ottawa Community

We don't just work in Ottawa; we support the organizations that make this city great. We are proud to work with local community groups such as:

Jami Omar

Kanata/Bells Corners

SNMC

South Nepean

SMA

Stittsville

Whether it's providing furniture for new families or essentials for community programs, we prioritize getting your reusable items into the hands of those who need them most.

The "Pal" Promise: 100% Judgment-Free Service

Life gets messy, and we get it. Whether you are dealing with a sensitive estate cleanout, a stressful move, or years of accumulated clutter in a "mystery room," we arrive with empathy, not questions.

Our 2-person team provides compassionate, discreet service so you can breathe easier.

Eco-Conscious Meticulous Sorting

In 2026, "junk" shouldn't just mean "trash." We are committed to keeping Ottawa green by diverting over 60% of our loads away from the Trail Road Landfill. We take the "Hauling" part of our name seriously:

Metal

Straight to the scrap yard for repurposing.

Clothing

Delivered to Value Village or local donation bins.

Tires

Taken to authorized recycling depots to protect our local waterways.

E-Waste

Old TVs and computers go to certified electronics recycling centers.

5

Transparent "Friend-to-Friend" Pricing

One of the biggest complaints in this industry is hidden "environmental fees." We offer clear, volume-based quotes before we ever touch your junk.

What we quote is what you pay—including all labor, transport, and disposal fees. No math, no surprises.

Built in Ottawa, for Ottawa

Unlike corporate franchises, we are a 100% locally owned and operated business. We know the "insider" rules—like:

The Matthew House in Orléans is a residential home and doesn't take furniture

How to navigate the narrow streets of The Glebe and Westboro without blocking traffic

7

Punctual & Professional (We Even Sweep Up!)

Your time is valuable. We provide a 15–30 minute heads-up before arrival so you aren't waiting all day.

Fully Insured

Uniformed Team

We Sweep Up!

We don't consider the job done until we've swept the area clean. We leave your space better than we found it—guaranteed.
