Does your property type change the answer?
Before you pay for private junk removal
First check whether Kentville or its regional waste authority provides a no-charge or lower-cost municipal route for the exact item. Then compare the cost of self-haul, retailer take-back and private removal. Ask a private hauler where the material will be taken and whether disposal fees are included in the quoted price.
