What we take

Junk removal covers anything that is loose and needs to go — whether it is a single appliance after a kitchen remodel or the contents of an entire property before a renovation begins.

Common items:

  • Furniture (couches, beds, tables, chairs)
  • Appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, water heaters)
  • Construction debris (drywall scraps, lumber, old flooring, tile)
  • Yard waste (branches, brush, old fencing, landscape debris)
  • General household junk (boxes, old belongings, garage cleanouts)
  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Electronics (TVs, monitors, printers)

What we do not take:

  • Hazardous materials (paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos)
  • Medical or biohazard waste
  • Tires (regulated waste stream in Texas)

If you are not sure whether an item qualifies, ask — we will tell you before we quote.

Single item vs full-property cleanout

A single-item pickup is exactly what it sounds like — one appliance, one piece of furniture, one pile. We show up, load it, and haul it away.

A full-property cleanout is the other end of the spectrum: every removable item in a home or unit, typically before a renovation begins or after a tenant vacancy. This is often paired with our demolition and haul-off scope when built-in materials also need to come out.

Everything in between is priced by load size.

Process

  1. You tell us what needs to go — photos, a list, or a walk-through.
  2. We quote by load size — before any work begins. No surprises.
  3. Crew arrives, loads, and hauls — we do the lifting and the driving.
  4. Site left clean — the space the junk occupied is swept or raked.

What drives the cost

Load size is the primary variable. A quarter-truck of furniture is a different price than a full-truck property cleanout. The second variable is access — a ground-floor garage cleanout is faster than carrying items down three flights.

We price before we start. If the actual load is smaller than the estimate, you pay for what we took.

Quarter truckA few items — a couch, a mattress, a small pile
Half truckA room's worth of items or a moderate garage cleanout
Full truckA full-property cleanout or large-scale debris removal
Multiple loadsEstate cleanouts, pre-renovation strip-outs, or community-scale work

When junk removal is part of a larger project

If you are hiring us for a renovation — a kitchen and bath refresh, a full interior remodel, or a community-scale make-ready program — the junk removal is built into the project scope. You do not need to schedule it separately.

Standalone junk removal is for when the junk is the project.

    Our own crews do it, to the written scope. Anything extra is a written change order first.

  4. Final walk-through

    We walk it again with you and close out anything on the punch list.

Common questions

Junk removal is taking away items that are already loose — furniture, appliances, debris, yard waste. Demolition is tearing out built-in materials (cabinets, flooring, drywall) as part of a renovation. We do both, and they are often part of the same project, but they are priced separately because the labor is different.

Yes. A single appliance, a couch, a pile of construction debris — we do not require a minimum load. The price is based on what we are taking, not on a truck minimum.

It depends on crew scheduling and location. Call to check what we can do.

Items go to the appropriate facility — landfill, transfer station, or donation center where applicable. We follow local disposal requirements.
