How to Prepare for a Quick and Easy Pickup
While our insured & bonded team at On The Move Moving & Junk Removal is geared up to do all the heavy lifting, a little bit of prep work on your end can make your same-day junk removal in Durham Region go even smoother. We're all about providing a completely stress-free experience, and these insider tips help us get in and out faster—which ultimately saves you time.
Let's be clear: you don’t need to do much. We’ll handle all the heavy lifting, no questions asked. Our main goal is to ensure our crew can work safely and quickly, and a few simple steps can make a massive difference.
Create a Clear Path
One of the single most helpful things you can do is make sure our team has a clear path from the junk to our truck. That means moving any cars, bikes, or garden gnomes that might be blocking the driveway or walkway.
If the items are inside, just clearing a path through hallways and rooms helps prevent accidental bumps and keeps your home protected. This is especially true for bigger jobs. If you're tackling a massive cleanout, our guide on professional estate cleanout services has some great advice for organizing the whole process.
Consolidate Your Junk
If it’s not too much trouble, try to gather everything in one easy-to-access place. A garage, driveway, or even a front porch works perfectly. Bagging up smaller, loose items also speeds things up a surprising amount.
Again, you don't have to lift anything heavy—that's our job. But having all the items grouped together means our team can get straight to loading without having to hunt through different rooms.
Think of it like this: The less time our crew spends walking back and forth through your house, the quicker the job gets done. Consolidating items is the single best way to maximize our efficiency on-site.
Special Notes for Condos and Apartments
Living in a condo in Ajax or an apartment in Pickering? We know the biggest hurdle is often the elevator.
- Check Elevator Rules: A lot of buildings require you to book a service elevator for moving large items out. A quick call to your property manager will clear up any rules and prevent a last-minute headache.
- Secure Parking: Just let us know the best spot for our truck to park. If there’s a designated loading bay, making sure it’s free for our arrival time is a huge help.
A little bit of planning really does go a long way. Taking these simple steps ensures that when our crew arrives, we can deliver the quick, seamless service we're known for and make your junk disappear without a hitch.

How Do You Handle Environmentally Friendly Disposal?
Our commitment to eco-friendly disposal practices is a huge part of our work. The Durham Region has been tackling a significant waste problem, with past measurements showing 173.1 kg of garbage disposed per capita. This prompted the region's long-term plan to slash waste, a goal we actively support. You can find more details on Durham's official budget and financial strategies online.
Our process is straightforward but makes a real difference. We sort everything we collect. Items in good shape are donated to local charities to find a new home. Recyclables like metal, electronics, and cardboard are sent to the right processing facilities. Only the items that are truly non-recyclable or non-donatable end up in the landfill. When you choose us, you're making a responsible choice for our community and the Ontario environment.
