What to Do With Bulk Items the City Won’t Take: Ottawa Junk Removal Guide (2025)

If you’ve recently done a home clean out or renovation in Ottawa, you’ve probably run into this problem: What do I do with all this junk the city won’t take?

Ottawa’s residential waste pickup only allows three bulky items per collection day and even then, you have to follow strict rules about how they’re placed at the curb. So what happens when you're clearing out a full garage, replacing furniture, or doing an estate cleanout?

Here’s what Ottawa homeowners, landlords, and tenants need to know in 2025 and how Mighty Mouse Junk Removal can help.

What the City of Ottawa Won’t Pick Up Easily

Even with the city’s 3-item limit, there are materials they won’t touch:

• Mattresses & box springs (must be wrapped in plastic or they’re left behind)

• Appliances with freon (like fridges or freezers require special handling)

• Construction materials (drywall, lumber, tile)

• Electronics (TVs, monitors, old PCs)

• Sheds or hot tubs

• Overflow furniture from clean outs or moves

Why Call a Junk Removal Service?

City pickup works for small scale disposal. But if you're decluttering a basement, cleaning out after a tenant, or prepping a house for sale, you’ll need more than 3 items gone and fast.
