3. Mighty Mouse Junk Removal
Area: Ottawa, based in Orleans · Specialty: furniture, garage and full-property cleanouts · Rating: 5.0 on Google (180+ reviews)
Mighty Mouse is a Canadian veteran-operated, owner-run local crew rather than a franchise, and customers can text a photo of their items to get a fast estimate.

JunkPal positions itself around straightforward, low-cost pickups starting at $150 with same-day availability. It is worth calling for smaller jobs, such as a single piece of furniture or a handful of bags and boxes, where a full crew and truck from a larger operator might be overkill.
