Crescent Heights sits on top of the bluff across the river from downtown. Some of the houses date back more than a hundred years, and they share blocks with 60s walk-ups, newer condos and infills. Basements are small, closets are smaller, and stairs are steep.
That shapes junk removal in Crescent Heights. People get rid of things because there's nowhere to put them. Book online, leave it in the lane or at the curb by 8 am on Tuesday or Friday, and we'll text a photo when it's loaded. No need to be home.
Where to leave it in Crescent Heights
Houses here mostly have a back lane with a garage or parking pad. Leave things next to yours in the lane.
In an apartment or condo, "curbside" means the curb out front, your parking stall, or the building's loading area if the rules allow it. We don't pick up from hallways, storage rooms or the parkade. Ask your building manager first, since some buildings fine residents for leaving items out.
Streets near the bluff and Crescent Road fill with parked cars. Lanes are easier.
What people get rid of in Crescent Heights
Small spaces turn over fast. The common ones:
- Couches that didn't fit up the stairs of the new place
- Mattresses and box springs after a move
- Old bookshelves, side tables and lamps
- Items left in a storage locker by the last tenant
In the older houses, we also see plaster and lath from a small reno. Bagged and light enough for one person, that's fine.
Junk pickup pricing in Crescent Heights
Curbside pickups start at $69. You pay the same as anywhere else we go. If it's in a third-floor walk-up, it needs to come down first. We don't go inside. Get your price.
