About the Service
Garbage Pickup Service for Calgary Homes
A recurring residential garbage pickup that works alongside your City collection.
How Garbage Pickup Works in Calgary
Most Calgary homes get City garbage collection every second week. That leaves a gap, and for many households the black bin is full long before the next collection. Our Garbage Pickup Service fills that gap. We collect your garbage on the weeks the City does not, so you get garbage pickup every single week.
Who Is This Service For?
Garbage Pickup Service is a residential service for Calgary homes. It suits larger families, busy households and anyone who regularly fills the black bin before collection day. Choose Standard, Plus or Extra depending on how many bags you usually have.
What Happens to Bigger Items?
Regular garbage pickup covers securely bagged household waste. For furniture, appliances, renovation debris or a full cleanout, use our junk removal service. You can check the full list of items we take or see junk removal pricing. Garbage Pickup Service customers can ask for a separate junk removal quote at any time.
Winter and Seasonal Help
The Junk Man also offers snow removal and holiday and permanent lighting, so one local crew can look after your home all year. Have a question? Contact us or call (403) 797-7145.
