One of the things we like about GarbageBuddy is they’re super accessible to Toronto residents. They service the GTA and its surrounding areas and are available for residential and commercial pickups.

Their range of services is worth noting as well. They remove many kinds of waste, basically almost anything you don’t want, such as construction debris and garbage.

It’s awesome they offer one-time and regular waste removal, which they have subscription plans for. We appreciate they’re available every two weeks for waste removal, which is convenient for business owners.

Plus, these guys are available any day of the week. Although they offer same-day pickups, it’s unfortunate that it’s not guaranteed since they tend to get busy.

On a good note, they’ve been super reliable and have been responsive. During our client surveys, many have complimented the team for their swift action and for coming by on time.

Lastly, their pricing is reasonable, starting at $59.95! Good deal, eh?

Smooth transaction

“My experience with Garbage Buddy as a first time customer has been a great experience. From setting up my appt, communication with the team regarding what needs to be done prior to pick was amazing. I did a price comparison with other companies and this was the best pricing and customer service received hands down for. I absolutely recommend!”

Great customer service

“I’ve been using Garbage Buddy for about 9 months now and I have to say that I have never been disappointed in the service provided. Jeff is always so warm, friendly and helpful over the phone. Sam my pick-up guy is the best! He always has a smile and goes the extra mile in returning my empty bin from the curb to the side of the house. The rate is fair and the service is great! Thanks Garbage Buddy!”

I Am Junk earns a spot on our list of waste disposal in Toronto because of their affordable prices. We were honestly surprised (in a good way) because they only charge based on what space you fill up on their truck.

During our inquiry, we learned that their rates are up to 50% lower than competitors, which is awesome. For example, a 1/8 load of waste costs only $149! 

On top of the good pricing, they provide a 100% money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with their work. For us, that speaks volumes about their top-notch job.

When we spoke with past clients, it was nice to hear that these guys were efficient, professional, and on time (even for same-day service). Some clients have even retained their service due to the positive experience.

However, their waste removal is mainly for large projects. Still, they can pretty much remove any type of waste, from residential to office garbage. 

Exceptional work for a great price

“David and his teammate were prompt, punctual, and professional. They charge very reasonable prices and deliver exceptional work for a same-morning appointment. They communicate clearly (quote via web form/text, actual cost (which was the same as the quote and quite a bit lower than their competitors)). Even when I told them that we would be renovating the place and that I don’t care, they still took extra care with the flooring and walls when moving large objects. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Glad I chose to go with them.”

Very fast service

“Would 100% recommend.

We had our bathroom renovated and the workers left ALL of the construction waste on our front lawn. I called I am Junk to get a quote and within the hour they showed up. They removed EVERYTHING so quickly and the price was reasonable!

They were kind and very friendly, thanks so much guys!”

We chose 1-800-RID-OF-IT because they can remove almost all kinds of waste, making them reliable and available to many Torontonians!

1-800-RID-OF-IT caters to residential and commercial clients, disposing of appliances, yard waste, construction materials, dead plants, and furniture. And we really appreciate that they’re also equipped to remove large stuff, like hot tubs!

Furthermore, they offer event cleanups. They even have a uniformed team who can work on small and large events, which impressed us.

Another thing we like about them is they’re available for same-day and next day service—a plus for convenience!

However, it was a bummer to hear complaints regarding poor scheduling. Some clients we surveyed noted that despite having a scheduled appointment, 1-800-RID-OF-IT’s staff didn’t arrive.

Nonetheless, we like their fair prices, which makes them a budget-friendly option. And since they have large trucks, you can fill them up with many types of waste without spending a tonne!

Quick service

“Truly, I was not expecting service this good! I had to get rid of two toilets as my building has private garbage collection, and they came within 24 hours and got them, with zero issue. I didn’t even have to come down! Reasonable price, excellent customer service, very friendly general manager, Deborah. Don’t bother going with anybody else. Thanks Kevin and Everton!”

Easy transaction

“I needed to dispose of some old deck lumber. I had already cut it into smaller pieces and filled about 15 heavy-duty but manageable bags, which I placed in my front yard. I checked various companies but 1 800 Rid-Of-It was the first to respond. They made booking an appointment easy over the phone. The truck arrived on schedule and the very polite operator loaded it up speedily. Everything sorted. No bother. And a fair price for a quarter truck load.”

Junk Works in Toronto impressed us because of their pricing policy. They actually offer upfront estimates and a price match guarantee if you find a more affordable business that provides the same service!

We think the prices are fair as well. You only pay for the space you use, and since their trucks are huge, you can fit a lot for an affordable price.

As for their services, we love that they remove many kinds of waste, such as trash, e-waste, furniture, appliances, garbage, and construction materials. You don’t even need to prep before they arrive; just leave all the heavy lifting to these guys!

It’s cool they’re also available for same-day appointments. However, some clients mentioned they didn’t arrive on the scheduled time frame and some had canceled appointments.

On the positive side, we did hear a bunch of compliments. Previous clients loved the efficiency and how their properties were left unharmed after the waste disposal.

No damages during the waste removal

“A fair price and timing was convenient. When I returned home there was very little to clean up and no damages to surrounding area. Very happy that they did what they said they would.”

Elaine Lepage, Google Review

Smooth service

“Very happy with the service.  Checked in the day before to ensure everything was ready, elevator booked.  Called ample time before arrival. Attendant was professional, courteous and respectful.  Job done with care.  Would use services again, highly recommend.”

Take My Junk earned a spot on our list because they know the ins and outs of Toronto. When we first inquired, we learned that they’ve been in the city for years (and are actually from Toronto), which gives them an edge when it comes to shortcuts.

They provide services for residential and commercial clients, which is awesome because they’re accessible. It was also cool that they dispose of several types of waste, from old furniture to construction debris to old electronics.

We want to highlight their event trash disposal and estate cleanouts. It’s like an all-in-one job, where you don’t have to lift a finger!

They’re also a smart choice, price-wise. These guys have affordable rates, with a minimum fee of only $49.

It was disappointing to hear complaints regarding scheduling issues and miscommunications when clients said they didn’t show up, even after a confirmed schedule. Even so, we appreciate them for taking responsibility for these mishaps.

Very efficient and professional

“After years of procrastinating I suddenly had to get rid of some junk quickly. It wasn’t a big job but I couldn’t really deal with it myself. Called these guys, showed them a pic and they were here first thing next morning. Friendly, courteous, professional, efficient, good price. What more could you want?”

Honest with the quotation and pricing

“Great service! Cost was accurate to their quote given beforehand, and onsite they were efficient and respectful. We chose to hire this company to remove our old furniture because other companies would not give us any pricing information before we agreed to a visit. With this company, there were no unpleasant surprises and everything went extremely smoothly. Would absolutely hire them again!”
