Every move uncovers things nobody wants to take along: the broken chair in the basement, the old mattress, the sofa that will not fit in the new place, the boxes of stuff stored “just in case” for a decade. Moving them costs money, and leaving them behind can cost your deposit. Getting rid of them yourself means renting a truck, finding the right drop-off locations and hoping it is not a rainy day.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage removes unwanted furniture and clutter across Greater Montreal, either as part of your move or as a separate job. Our crew loads everything, takes it away and sends items for donation or recycling wherever possible.

Quick answer: NST removes old furniture, mattresses, appliances and clutter in Montreal before, during or after your move, with donation and recycling where possible. Call (514) 458-7786.

What we remove

What NST junk removal includes – NST Montreal movers

Old sofas, chairs, tables and beds.
Mattresses and box springs.
Appliances, once disconnected.

Office furniture and old equipment.

We do not remove hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, propane tanks, fuel or batteries, which must go to your municipality’s hazardous waste drop-off.

Junk removal with your move

The easiest approach is to combine junk removal with your move. On moving day, our crew loads what is moving and, separately, what is going. You move only what you want to keep, and your old home is left empty and ready for the landlord or new owner. Less to move can also mean a lower moving price.

Clean-outs and decluttering

Junk removal is also useful when you are not moving: clearing a basement, emptying a parent’s home, preparing a house for sale or freeing up an office. We remove items room by room, so you can decide as we go.

Donation and recycling

Furniture in good condition can often be donated to local charities. Metal, electronics and appliances can be recycled. We separate items so that as little as possible ends up in a landfill.

Decluttering before a move saves money

Every item you move costs money: it has to be wrapped, carried, loaded, transported, unloaded and placed. Removing items you do not want before moving day reduces the size of your move, the time it takes and the price. It also means your new home starts uncluttered.

A good rule is to walk through every room, closet, basement and garage four to six weeks before your move and divide items into four groups: keep, sell, donate and discard. Sell valuable items early, because selling takes time. Donate items in good condition. What is left, such as broken furniture, worn mattresses and clutter, can be removed by our crew, either before the move or on moving day.

Junk removal on moving day

On moving day, our crew can load your belongings for the new home and, separately, the items you want removed. We keep them apart in the truck, deliver your belongings to your new home and take the unwanted items away. Your old home is left empty and clean, which helps with your security deposit or the final inspection before a sale.

This is especially useful at the end of a lease, when tenants often discover that some furniture will not fit in the new apartment or is not worth moving. Instead of leaving it on the curb, which can lead to fines in some boroughs, you can have it removed properly.

Clearing a parent's or relative's home

When a parent moves into a residence or a smaller home, or when a family member passes away, the home often needs to be emptied. This can be a large and emotional job. Our crews work patiently, following the family’s decisions about what to keep, what to give to relatives, what to donate and what to remove. Items for family members can be delivered to their homes, items to keep can go into storage and unwanted items can be removed. See our senior moving service.

Basement, garage and shed clean-outs

Basements, garages and sheds collect years of unused items: old furniture, broken appliances, sports equipment, building materials and boxes that have not been opened in a decade. Clearing them before a move, a renovation or a sale is a big job. Our crew carries everything out, loads it and takes it away, so you can finally use the space.

Office and commercial clean-outs

Businesses often need old furniture, equipment and clutter removed when they relocate, renovate or close a location. We remove desks, chairs, cabinets, shelving and fixtures, and separate items for donation, resale or recycling where possible. Electronics should go to certified e-waste recyclers, and confidential documents should be securely shredded rather than discarded. See office moving.

Responsible disposal in Montreal

Montreal and its surrounding municipalities have rules about bulky item collection, recycling and hazardous waste. Mattresses, appliances, electronics and construction materials often require specific handling. We sort removed items so that furniture in good condition can be donated, metal and appliances can be recycled and the rest is disposed of properly. Hazardous products such as paint, solvents, propane cylinders and batteries must be taken to your municipality’s designated drop-off points; we cannot transport them.

Preparing for junk removal

Decide clearly what goes and what stays, and mark items to be removed.
Empty drawers and cabinets of furniture being removed.
Disconnect appliances and empty fridges and freezers.
Separate hazardous products, which we cannot take.
Make sure the crew has clear access to the items.

Junk removal for landlords and property managers

Landlords and property managers regularly need units cleared after tenants leave: abandoned furniture, mattresses, boxes and garbage. Clearing them quickly gets the unit ready for painting, repairs and new tenants. Our crew removes items efficiently, protects common areas and leaves the unit empty. For buildings with several units turning over around July 1, we can schedule several clean-outs in one visit.

What happens to the items we remove?

We try to keep as much as possible out of the landfill. Furniture in good condition can be donated to charities and community organisations. Metal frames, appliances and some electronics can be recycled through the appropriate channels. Cardboard and paper are recycled. Items that cannot be reused or recycled are disposed of according to local rules. If you have specific preferences, such as donating to a particular organisation, tell your coordinator.

Junk removal costs explained

The cost of junk removal depends mainly on the volume of items, the type of items and the access. A few pieces of furniture from a ground-floor apartment cost less than a full basement clean-out from a third-floor walk-up. Some items, such as mattresses and appliances, may involve disposal fees. When junk removal is combined with your move, the cost is included in your overall quote, and removing items you do not want often lowers the cost of the move itself.

Fast, simple and clear

Booking junk removal should be easy. Send us a short description or a few photos of what needs to go, along with the address and access details. We give you a clear price before the crew arrives, then load everything, sweep up the area and leave. No sorting through piles, no trips to the eco-centre and no waiting for municipal bulky item collection days.
