Some things are hard to let go of. Others just need to be gone by Saturday. Either way, Foxy Gardens picks up the items you no longer need, right from your home, garage, shed or yard.

No bin rental. No dragging things to the curb. No waiting weeks for a pickup date.

When people call us

Settling a loved one’s home. Sorting through a parent’s or relative’s belongings is hard, and there’s rarely time to do it slowly. Keep what matters to your family. We’ll carefully take care of the rest.

Downsizing. Moving to a smaller home or a retirement residence means deciding what comes along. Once you’ve chosen, we’ll clear out what’s staying behind so the move day is simpler.

Moving or selling a home. When a house needs to be empty before listing or closing, the last few loads are always the hardest. We’ll take them off your hands.

Garage, basement and shed clear-outs. Years of “we’ll deal with it later” add up. We’ll help you get the space back in one visit.

Landlords and property managers. Tenant left things behind? We’ll clear the unit so you can get it ready for the next one.

Just ready for a fresh start. Sometimes there’s no big reason. You simply want less stuff, and we’re happy to help.

What we take

We take most household, garage and yard items, including:

  • Boxes and bins of household items
  • Books, CDs, records, DVDs and video games
  • Small furniture: side tables, chairs, shelves, lamps
  • Kitchenware and small appliances
  • Tools, garden equipment and yard items
  • Sports gear, toys and holiday decorations
  • Small electronics and stereo equipment

What we can’t take:

  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Large appliances (fridges, stoves, washers, dryers)
  • Pianos, sectionals and other very heavy furniture

How it works

  1. Text us photos. Show us what’s going and where it is: garage, basement, upstairs or yard.
  2. Get a quote. We’ll reply with a price based on how much there is and how long it’ll take.
  3. Set aside anything personal. Photos, letters, documents, jewelry and keepsakes stay with you. We’ll check with you before we load.
  4. We take it away. We carry everything out ourselves and leave the space swept.

Pickups start at $75.

Where your items go

We sort everything we pick up. Items with life left in them are donated, sold secondhand, or passed on to someone who can use them. Metals and other materials are recycled wherever possible. Only what’s left goes to disposal.

Our goal is simple: as little as possible ends up in landfill.

Service area and FAQ

Service area: Cambridge (Galt, Preston and Hespeler), Kitchener, Waterloo and surrounding communities.

Is this the same Foxy Gardens that does gardens? Yes. Our truck is already out around Cambridge every week, so clear-outs fit naturally alongside our garden, yard cleanup and junk removal work.

How much does it cost? It depends on how much there is and where it is. Text us a few photos and we’ll send you a free quote.

How soon can you come? Often within a few days. Tell us if you’re working to a deadline, like a closing or move date.

Do I need to be home? For garage, shed or yard pickups, not always. For anything inside, we’ll arrange a time with you or someone you trust.

Do you take everything? Most household, garage and yard items. Check the list above, or send a photo and ask.
