Estate donation, resale and recycling
Estate Donation, Resale and Recycling in Vancouver
Nothing useful should go to waste. We sort every item into donate, resell, recycle and responsible disposal, and resale value can offset the cost of your cleanout. It's the heart of estate cleanouts across Vancouver, and we treat every item as if it mattered.
Is this you?
If this sounds familiar, we can help
A whole home of belongings deserves more than a trip to the dump. Here's what we hear most.
- There's a whole home of belongings and you don't want it all to go to waste.
- Some pieces have value, and you'd like resale to help cover the cleanout.
- You want usable items donated to local charities.
- You want a clear record of what was donated and resold.
- You'd like recycling handled properly rather than everything landfilled.

We sort with purpose so every item finds the right next step. Here's what's covered.

Donated and recycled items carry no disposal fee, and resold items are credited at 50% of the sale price. Rates start at $90 per hour for a single crew member and truck, with disposal at $0.18 per pound and no disposal fee for items we donate or recycle. Resale value can also offset your cost.

We treat every item as if it mattered, because it did. Here's how we sort and where resale can help.

- Valuable pieces are resold, with proceeds credited toward your cleanout
- Metal, electronics, paper and glass are sorted for proper recycling

Resale
Sell what has value, keep half
When we find items with resale value, we sell them through our resale network and you receive 50% of the sale price. We explain the expected price in your written quote before anything is sold, so there are no surprises.
We will explain how consignment works for your items, including what qualifies and how you are paid, when we prepare your quote.
