A homeowner in Orleans called us last spring. Their mother had passed, and they had a full house to clear out — decades of furniture, appliances, boxes, old electronics — before the estate sale. They didn't know where to start.
We sent a crew the next morning. By early afternoon, the house was empty. Everything that could be donated went to local organizations. The rest was disposed of properly. They didn't have to lift a single thing.
That's what junk removal is supposed to look like. You tell us what needs to go. We show up, carry it out, load it up, and haul it away. You get your space back without breaking a sweat.
OC Movers handles junk removal across Ottawa and the surrounding region — single items, full truckloads, garage cleanouts, basement cleanouts, estate clearances, and construction debris. Whatever the job looks like, we've probably handled something bigger.

Why Ottawa Families Choose OC Movers
There's no shortage of moving companies in Ottawa. So why do people keep calling us back, and why do they send their friends and family our way?
A few things come up over and over in the reviews we get:
We actually show up. Sounds like the bare minimum — and it is. But in this industry, it's not guaranteed. We confirm the day before, we show up on time, and we communicate if anything changes.
We're careful with your stuff. Everything that can be wrapped, gets wrapped. We're not in a hurry to the point where we're banging your couch against the door frame. Moving fast and moving carefully aren't opposites — we've figured out how to do both.
The price you get is the price you pay. We don't add fuel surcharges or stair fees at the end of the day. The quote we give you is what we charge.
We're local. OC Movers is an Ottawa-based company. The people moving your stuff are part of this city. That matters.
