Many Montreal homeowners consider handling junk removal themselves to save money—but what they don’t see are the hidden costs and risks that can make DIY junk hauling more expensive and time-consuming than expected.

1. Hidden Financial Costs

• Truck rental fees: A basic truck rental in Montreal for a few hours can cost upwards of $100, excluding mileage and gas.

• Disposal fees: Eco-centres charge for certain types of waste or may limit volumes. Improper sorting can also result in fines.

• Potential property damage: Inexperienced handling of large furniture or appliances can cause wall, floor, or door frame damage.

2. Physical Strain and Injury Risk

Lifting heavy furniture, navigating staircases, or removing renovation debris without proper equipment can result in injuries—especially without safety gear. Professional crews use lifting straps, dollies, and padding to protect themselves and your home.

3. Time and Logistics

Coordinating multiple trips to an eco-centre (which may be far from your neighborhood) can take hours or days. Plus, Montreal has strict waste-sorting and disposal rules that the average homeowner may not be familiar with.
