Fall brings a vibrant energy to Edmonton, full of stunning foliage colours as the days get shorter. Not to mention that with winter just around the corner, it’s also one of the best times to get started on decluttering your home or garage. While light fall cleaning is relatively simple, this season is the ideal time to tackle larger, more intensive items that need attention.
Read along with us below at Grimebusters, as we highlight a checklist of bulkier items to remove this fall. With over 30 years of experience supporting residents in reclaiming their space, we’re your local waste removal experts in Edmonton.
#1: Worn Mattresses
Between university students moving out and summer sales, many people end up getting new mattresses. But while a new mattress may make your bedroom more comfortable, the old one often ends up taking up valuable storage space. Like many items on this list, old mattresses are often too large to handle on your own. Fortunately, a waste removal service in Edmonton can handle it quickly and hassle-free.
#2: Outdated Appliances
If you have an old air fryer or toaster oven collecting dust in your garage, you’re not alone. Nearly one in six Canadian households has some sort of small appliance yet to be disposed of. Though many of these items are fairly small, they can pile up over time without notice.
Waste removal services in Edmonton can handle nearly any appliance, including:
- Microwaves, toasters, air fryers
- Chest freezers, fridges
- Dishwashers
- Ovens
#3: Boxes of Old Clothes
As the years go by, it’s all too common to have countless boxes and bags of old clothes filling up valuable storage space. It can feel like these boxes just multiply endlessly, especially if you have kids. Unfortunately, that makes it even easier to put off that trip to the donation centre season after season. This is where professional waste removal services come in. We can help you organize and haul these boxes to the nearest donation centre.
#4: Renovation Junk & Scraps
Summer brings more than vacations and warm, balmy nights. For many of us, it’s also the season of home renovations. But once the last board is nailed and the final edge is sanded, what happens to the leftover building materials? More often than not, they end up sitting in the basement or garage for storage. Fall is the perfect time to finally dispose of wood, plaster, and tiles that you no longer need—and to make more space for next year’s projects.
#5: Bags of Leaves & Small Branches
Edmonton during Autumn is nothing short of breathtaking, from the crisp air to the North Saskatchewan River reflecting the season’s colours. But if there’s one thing that will never be in shortage during the fall, it’s leaves. Leaves fall in abundance, covering yards, roads, and sidewalks in a stunning carpet of red and orange.
During the fall, it’s not uncommon for residents to have dozens of bagged leaves waiting in storage. While Edmonton has a yard waste collection program that runs twice in the fall, many residents end up with more than the program can handle. Fortunately, yard waste removal services in Edmonton can help with the excess, to clear out bags of leaves, fallen fruit, small branches, and more.
