Who shows up: Tim Rouble

Ravens Ridge Junk Removal is owned and run by Tim Rouble of South River. Tim gives you the price, confirms your pickup time himself, and is the person who pulls into your driveway.

Tim has more than 35 years of experience in commercial and residential construction, and ran a cabinet and millwork manufacturing and installation business for 22 years. He knows how buildings go together, which is useful when a shed has to come apart.

His family has been in this area a long time. Tim's great-grandmother was born at Eagle Lake in 1894, a homesteader. The business is named after Tim's property, which locals call Ravens Ridge.

How junk removal works with Ravens Ridge

The big stuff goes in one visit. Here is what happens, in order.

  1. Text a photo

    Take a photo of what needs to go and text it to 249-506-6447. The garage as it is, the pile behind the shed, the one old couch. A few words about where you are helps.

  2. Get one price

    Tim looks at the photo and sends you a price before anyone drives out. The price Tim quotes is the price you pay. No surprises in your driveway.

  3. Tim confirms the day

    Pickups run evenings and weekends. Tim confirms the day and time with you himself. You get a text the day before, and another when he is on the way.

  4. Point, and it gets loaded

    You do not carry anything. Point at what goes, and it gets loaded from where it sits. The area gets swept before the truck and trailer leave.

What Ravens Ridge Junk Removal hauls away

Ravens Ridge Junk Removal takes on homes, cottages, garages and business properties across the Almaguin Highlands. A full garage after twenty-some years is ordinary. It is what a truck and trailer are for.

Residential junk removal

The heavy things that will not fit in the car for a dump run. Old furniture, mattresses, and the pile that has been in the garage, basement or shed "for now".

Property cleanouts

Garages, basements, sheds, barns and whole properties. Useful before a sale, after a move, or when a family home has to be emptied. Tim works through it with care, at your pace.

Commercial junk removal

Shops, offices, rental units and job sites. Old fixtures, shelving, leftover materials and whatever the last tenant left behind.

Minor demolition

Small structures that have had their day, such as sheds and fences. Ravens Ridge takes them down and hauls the debris away in the same visit.

What Ravens Ridge does not take

  • Biohazard
  • Paint
  • Gas
  • Oil
  • Asbestos

Not sure about something? Put it in the photo. Tim reviews every photo first and tells you before you book.

What is still good gets a second look

Some of what is in the garage is still good, and that is often why it is still there. Ravens Ridge Junk Removal salvages reusable items and recycles materials where possible, so letting go of it is not the same as wasting it.

Tim has salvaged building materials for years, including windows, slate and full kitchens. If there is something in the pile worth keeping, he will notice it and set it aside.
