Container or cleanout: how to choose?

A container: you fill it at your own pace

A container is delivered, you fill it yourself over an agreed period, then it is picked up. It often suits projects that produce debris over several days, such as a renovation or roofing.

• You need accessible space for the truck and container.
• A municipal permit may be required if the container is on the street.
• Some materials may be refused or priced differently.

A cleanout: someone does the work

A cleanout business carries the items out and takes them away. This often suits situations where a space must be cleared quickly, items are heavy, or you cannot handle them yourself.

Questions to ask yourself

• Do the items need to be carried out by someone else?
• Does the work span several days?
• Do you have the space and, if needed, the permit for a container?
• Is it mostly furniture and items, or construction debris?
