Husband's family has owned property in Muskoka for 100 years, with a boathouse, two cottages, wood shed, laundry shed and bunkie all added over time. Couple this with a Depression-era "keep everything" mentality, and the place had become stuffed to the gills with things like lumpy, over-sized daybeds no one's used in 50 years and driftwood "art" so ancient it was more like structured dust. This summer we decided it was time to get rid of the junk. I called up Mid Ontario disposal and found out that for CA$275 they'd deliver any size roll-off bin from 10 to 50 yards capacity, and we could keep it a week (CA$20 extra/day after that). Junk removal would be CA$110 per ton with a 12% fuel surcharge. Considering the town dump will take your trash for CA$110/ton but you have to transport it all on your own, we decided Mid Ontario was worth it. After informing them about our ridiculously steep driveway and being assured it was no problem, we scheduled a delivery for the following day. We were told we'd be the first of the day and to expect the driver between 8 and 8:30 am. Well, the driver didn't arrive until 11:30 (when I called Mid Ontario to ask why the "first delivery of the day" wasn't there by 9:45, they acted like they had never promised us that time slot, saying they only had us down for an "am delivery".) And when he did show up he took one look at the driveway and declared there was no way he was getting the 40 yard bin down it. Fortunately there's an overgrown parking apron at the top of the drive where previous generations parked Model Ts that'd never get down the incline, so we were able to place the bin there...nevermind it meant hauling nearly one ton of crap up that 35° driveway over the next seven days. Still, despite the two hiccups, the folks at Mid Ontario were readily available and responsive, as well as professional and courteous. Not to mention that the convenience of having our own giant dumpster on site meant clearing out a ton of valuable storage and living space at our beloved family retreat for under CA$500. That's priceless. read more
