Who household junk removal is best for
- Homeowners clearing a garage, basement or storage room
- Renters emptying a suite before the walkthrough
- Families downsizing a few rooms at a time
- Anyone with more junk than a car trip can solve
Household junk removal is for mixed piles of everyday stuff. If it is one heavy item, book furniture and appliance removal instead. If a whole property needs emptying, an estate cleanout is the better fit.
What is included
- All lifting, carrying and loading handled for you
- Items taken from anywhere on the property, not just the curb
- Nothing left behind but the space you wanted back
- Recyclables and donatable items sorted out of the load
- Disposal and landfill fees included in your quoted price

What is not normally included
So there are no surprises, these fall outside this service:
- Hazardous waste: paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos
- Biohazard, medical or chemical waste
- Vehicles, boats and anything requiring a tow
- Structural demolition or anything needing a permit
- Bulk soil, concrete or dirt beyond a few loads' weight limit
Optional add-ons
Any of these can be added when you request a quote or by message before your pickup.
- Hot tub removal
- Shed or playset dismantling
- Deck or fence tear-out

- Appliance disconnection (unplug and cap only)
- Storage locker clear-out
- A second pair of hands for very heavy items (when scheduling allows)
How the service works
- Send photos for an Instant Photo Estimate — an Estimated Price Range
- We confirm the load size on arrival, before touching anything
- Everything agreed gets carried out and loaded
- The space is swept and you approve it before we roll
- Recyclables, donations and waste are split at the other end
How long does it take
Most household loads take 20 to 60 minutes on site. Bigger clear-outs and multi-room jobs run longer, and we give you a realistic window when you book rather than a promise we cannot keep.
How to prepare
- Put anything you are keeping in a separate room or mark it clearly
- Bag loose clutter so it loads compactly
- Point out donation items before we start loading
- Tell us about narrow stairs, tight turns or fragile floors

Questions about household junk removal
Do I need to carry things out to the driveway?
No. We carry everything from wherever it is sitting, including basements and upper floors. Helping load is optional and takes 10% off — prefer not to lift a thing? No problem, we've got it.
What if the pile is bigger than I thought?
We re-quote the larger load size before loading it, so you always approve the price you pay.
Can you take just a few bags?
Yes, the minimum load covers about eight to ten bags or boxes.
