The Furniture Nobody Can Get Rid Of
Furniture is the single most common call we get in Grimsby, and it's almost always the same story: the piece came into the house years ago, it's now too heavy, too awkward or too far gone to move again, and the town won't take it on a normal collection day. Niagara Region caps large items at four per collection, requires you to book at least two working days ahead through Green For Life, and everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. If you've got a full living room to clear, that's three separate collection cycles — six weeks of a couch sitting in your driveway.
Then there's the physical problem. Olde Town and Grimsby Beach homes have stair turns that were built for 1890s furniture, not a 9-foot sectional. Second-floor bedrooms in the older Main Street houses often mean the box spring has to come apart to get out. And the Casablanca lakefront condos need a service elevator booked in advance and a specific loading-dock window — we handle that call for you.
What We Take
- Couches, sectionals, loveseats, recliners and hide-a-beds
- Mattresses and box springs — any size, including waterbeds
- Bed frames, dressers, armoires and wardrobes
- Dining tables, chairs, hutches and china cabinets
- Desks, filing cabinets and office chairs
- Particle-board furniture that's fallen apart mid-move
- Patio furniture, gazebos and outdoor sectionals
- Pianos and organs (quoted separately — tell us the type and the stairs)
What Furniture Removal Costs in Grimsby
We price by how much space the load takes in the truck, not by the hour, so nobody's watching a clock:
- Single couch or sectional piece: about $110–$180
- Mattress + box spring set: about $120–$200
- Full living room or bedroom set: about $250–$400
- Whole-house furniture clear-out: about $400–$700+
Second-floor carries, tight stair turns and items that need to be dismantled add a bit — we'll tell you that up front, not after it's on the truck. The free quote gives you an exact number.
What To Do Right Now
Snap two or three photos on your phone: the piece itself, the doorway or stairs it has to come through, and where we'd park. Send them with the form or text them after you call. That's usually enough for a firm price without anyone driving out. If you'd like a lower number, moving anything you can into the garage or driveway yourself does reduce the labour portion.
Where It Goes
Anything clean and structurally sound gets offered for donation first — there is real demand locally for solid wood furniture and usable mattresses in good condition. Metal frames go to scrap. Only broken, stained or infested pieces go to the Niagara Road 12 landfill. If you'd rather we didn't donate something, just say so.
Clearing a whole property rather than a few rooms? Our estate and full-home cleanout service is priced for volume and will work out cheaper than piece-by-piece pickups. Old appliances in the mix? See appliance and scrap metal removal.
