Junk and debris, hauled by local pros.

The Eco Centre is located at 74 Jennifer Heil Way in Spruce Grove and serves as the city's primary drop-off facility for materials outside the regular collection program. Accepted items include household hazardous waste, paint, batteries, electronics, scrap metal, used oil and filters, and bulky items that don't fit in the standard black cart. Tipping fees apply for most materials by weight or flat category rate. Not everything is accepted: construction and demolition debris is subject to restrictions and separate tipping rates. Hours are seasonal, so checking the City of Spruce Grove website before a DIY run is essential.

No, Spruce Grove's waste management bylaw restricts items placed at the curb to what fits in your assigned black cart, and materials must not be set out more than 18 hours before your scheduled pickup. Furniture, appliances, and renovation debris left at the curb outside of scheduled bulky item collection events can result in a bylaw complaint and a notice to remove the material within 24 hours. Repeated violations carry escalating fines.

We sort materials at point of loading with the goal of maximizing diversion from the landfill. Metals are taken to scrap processors. Electronics go to Alberta Recycling-approved e-waste handlers. Clean cardboard and paper are separated for the recycling stream. Items that cannot be diverted, contaminated materials, mixed debris, non-recyclable plastics, go to the Eco Centre or a Parkland County-approved transfer station. We can provide a disposal record if your project requires documentation.

Yes, and this catches many homeowners off guard. Renovation and construction debris, including drywall, flooring, lumber, concrete, and insulation, is classified separately from household waste and cannot go in your black cart. It is subject to different tipping rates at the Eco Centre and regional landfill. Some materials like gypsum drywall and concrete are accepted for recycling by specialty processors; others go to the general construction waste stream at higher cost.

Illegal dumping within Spruce Grove city limits is addressed under the municipal bylaw, and the City actively investigates dumping complaints. Parkland County enforces provincial littering and dumping regulations on county roads and crown land, with fines under Alberta's Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act that can reach thousands of dollars for commercial-volume dumping. Trail cameras on rural properties and road allowances have led to successful identification and prosecution of dumpers in the region.

Spruce Grove residents spend roughly eight months of the year primarily indoors, during which garages, basements, and spare rooms accumulate items that never quite made it out. When the weather breaks in April, there's a genuine surge in the desire to reclaim space, and a practical need to clear outdoor areas of winter debris before lawn care and landscaping season begins. This demand surge compresses into April and May because people want items gone before May long weekend. Book spring cleanout service before the end of March to secure your preferred week.

Yes, and it's one of our most common commercial requests. Spruce Grove's rental market has grown substantially, and property managers and private landlords frequently need fast, reliable cleanouts between tenants, especially when a tenant has left belongings behind. We provide same-week and sometimes same-day service for rental turnovers, work around cleaning crews, and can coordinate directly with property managers without requiring the owner to be on-site.

Yes, with advance notice and the right crew size. Hot tub removal is one of the more complex residential junk removal tasks because most hot tubs need to be cut into sections to clear standard gate widths, the average hot tub shell is 7 to 8 feet across. We bring the tools to section it on-site, protect your lawn and fence during extraction, and haul the pieces to the appropriate recycling and disposal facilities. Pricing depends on tub size, access difficulty, and backyard clearance.

A bin rental is the right tool for a long renovation project where you're generating debris steadily over days or weeks. For a one-time cleanout, the math usually favours a load-and-go service: no waiting for delivery, no permit for driveway placement, no 7-day minimum rental period, no sorting the debris yourself to comply with the hauler's material rules, and no overage charges if you underestimate the volume. The crew does the loading, which most homeowners find to be the single biggest practical advantage.

Estate cleanouts are approached carefully because the circumstances are often emotionally difficult for the family. We start with a walkthrough so you can identify items to be kept, donated, or disposed of before the crew begins. Nothing ambiguous is discarded without explicit direction, and potential-value items are set aside for the family's review. Donations go to local Spruce Grove and Stony Plain thrift organizations where possible. You get a written record of the cleanout for estate file purposes, which executors often need for probate documentation.
