Practical guide: clearouts in Montréal, choosing the right option

Specify the items to keep, the approximate volume, the floor, access hours, the authorization to dispose of the belongings and the material categories.

How do you prepare a clearout without bad surprises?

Specify the items to keep, the approximate volume, the floor, access hours, the authorization to dispose of the belongings and the material categories.

Compare your options

Municipal collection may suit some residents; a clearout crew works differently when the volume, moving items or the schedule call for a full service.

Exclusions and conditions to specify

Have the excluded items, possible stair-related fees and parking or elevator conditions clearly identified.

Limits to confirm

Collection rules and accepted materials vary by borough; no promise of full recycling should be made without proof.

Frequently asked questions

Can a rented unit be emptied without the necessary consent?

No. The legal authority of the person requesting the work must be checked before any belongings are removed.

How do you get a useful price?

Provide representative photos, the volume, the access and the list of unusual materials.
