Highwood was laid out in the mid-1950s, between 4 Street and John Laurie Boulevard, just east of Nose Hill. A lot of the original bungalows are still standing. Here and there, one gets knocked down and a new two-storey goes up in its place.
Both of those make work for junk pickup in Highwood. Long-time owners clear out a garage or a basement. New owners clear out what the last family left. Leave it at the curb, in the driveway or by the back fence on a Tuesday or Friday by 8 am. Pay when you book and you don't have to be home.
Where to leave it in Highwood
Go with whatever's closest to where a truck can stop. If your garage is off a back lane, that lane is usually easiest. If you have a front driveway, the bottom of it is fine.
Some driveways here have a real slope to them. Don't leave a dresser balanced on a slope. Carry it down to the flat or tell us it's in the garage.
Put things out on pickup morning, not the night before.
What people get rid of in Highwood
Houses from the 1950s tend to have a few layers of history in them. When someone's downsizing or selling, the pile tends to include:
- Old upright freezers and second fridges from the basement
- Workbench junk and shelving from the garage
- Wooden bed frames and dressers from the original bedrooms
- Boxes of paperwork and bags of old linens
Metal like bed rails, shelving and freezers goes to scrap. Furniture in decent shape goes to donation when a charity will take it.
