When “Just Toss It” Isn’t an Option

We’ve all been there — staring at something massive, awkward, and impossible to move. Maybe it’s that piano collecting dust, a hot tub that’s seen better days, or a camper that hasn’t hit the road in years. You can’t just put it on the curb, and you definitely can’t lift it yourself.

That’s where Recycle It Canada’s Special Item Removal steps in. We handle the big, the bulky, and the “what do I even do with this?” stuff so you don’t have to.

What Exactly Is Special Item Removal?

Special Item Removal goes beyond standard junk removal. It’s designed for oversized or complex items that demand special tools, trained pros, and eco-friendly disposal.

We handle everything from start to finish:

  • Heavy lifting and transport

  • Safe dismantling or removal

  • Recycling and proper disposal

  • Environmentally responsible practices

Our team brings the right equipment and experience to get the job done safely — without the back pain or “oops, we scratched the wall” moments.

The Heavy Hitters: What We Remove

Here’s a look at the most common “problem items” we tackle — and why homeowners and businesses trust the pros:

Item Why It’s Tricky How We Handle It
Pianos (Upright, Grand, or Digital) Extremely heavy and delicate Our crew lifts, pads, and recycles piano materials with care
RVs, Campers & Trailers Contain fuel, propane, and mixed materials We drain, dismantle, and recycle all usable components
Hot Tubs & Spas Bulky and often built into decks We drain, disassemble, lift, and recycle the parts efficiently
Boats Contain fiberglass, oil, and hazardous fluids We tow, dismantle, and safely process each piece
Large Appliances & Equipment Heavy, awkward, and may contain refrigerants We remove and recycle them in compliance with environmental regulations

If you’re thinking, “I’m not sure if my item qualifies,” it probably does. If it’s heavy, hazardous, or oversized — it’s our specialty.

Why Choose Recycle It Canada for Special Item Removal

1. We Save You Time (and Your Back)

Moving a hot tub or RV isn’t a weekend project. It’s a logistical nightmare. Instead of juggling multiple companies, call us and we’ll handle dismantling, hauling, and disposal from start to finish.

2. We Keep It Eco-Friendly 

We believe waste shouldn’t automatically mean landfill. Whenever possible, we recycle, repurpose, or donate materials — giving items a second life instead of letting them go to waste.

3. We Protect Your Property

Large items can easily damage floors, driveways, or landscaping. Our trained crew uses protective gear, ramps, and strategic planning to prevent accidents.

4. We’re Fully Insured and Highly Experienced

You can relax knowing your property is protected and every job is done by a skilled, insured team. Whether we’re maneuvering through tight hallways or lifting through a window, we do it safely and efficiently.

Real-Life Example: The Backyard Hot Tub That Had to Go

A homeowner in Surrey called after realizing their hot tub hadn’t been used since 2017 — and had become a five-star raccoon resort . They didn’t have the time or tools to remove it.

Our crew arrived, drained the spa, dismantled it piece by piece, recycled the metal frame, and cleared the deck in a few short hours. As a result, their backyard was spotless and ready for a brand-new patio setup.
