"I hired him to haul away a sofa and loveseat as we were getting new ones. He was there on time and had both items on his truck in 20 minutes. Very, very pleased! Will hire him again for some other items."

"If I could give Junk King more than five stars, I would. I hired Junk King to clean out years' worth of accumulated junk from my backyard, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Nate and Roy called ahead to let me know they were on their way, arrived right on time, greeted me with a smile, and introduced themselves. They took a look at everything I wanted removed, gave me a quote that was about 30% less than what a large national competitor had quoted, and got right to work. What happened next felt like a magic trick. Years of junk that I had been putting off dealing with simply disappeared in less than an hour. They worked incredibly hard, were efficient, professional, and treated my property with care. When they finished, they even swept up the area before they left. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Great price, outstanding customer service, and two employees who clearly take pride in their work. Thank you, Nate and Roy, for making such"

"Heath and his crew are excellent. Not only have they hauled away junk for us in a very professional manner, they have also done a lot of construction work for us, including drywall repair repairs, redoing our dry wall and lights in the kitchen, and installing an entirely new shower in one of our bathroom. They are very courteous, professional, and clean. I would highly recommend them."

Hauling questions, answered by experts

Garbage removal is a project you can do yourself, but hiring a professional to get the job done is often worthwhile. Depending on the type and amount of junk, you could be looking at a very labor-intensive job, dumping fees, dumpster charges, and potentially unsafe working conditions. Hiring a professional junk removal company not only saves you time and energy and keeps you safe, but it also means you don’t have to worry about carting the junk away or coordinating a dumpster and getting a permit for it.

There are several things to avoid packing into your storage container to reduce the risk of damage or danger. This includes weapons, ammunition, and combustible, flammable, or toxic items, such as gasoline, fireworks, or chemicals. Perishable items, such as plants or food (except for canned goods), are also a no-go, as are damp goods.

The most affordable way to get rid of junk often involves a do-it-yourself approach, especially if you don't have a large amount of debris. Start by sorting your items into categories: donate, recycle, sell, or trash.

  • Donate or Sell: Usable goods can be donated to local charities. You can also list items for free or for a low price on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

  • Use Municipal Services: Your city's regular garbage collection or bulk pickup days can be the cheapest option. However, be sure to check community guidelines for quantity limits and accepted materials. You can also take recyclables to a city drop-off center.

  • Haul it Yourself: If you have a truck or suitable vehicle, loading the junk and taking it to a local transfer station, public dump, or waste disposal facility is a very cost-effective method.

If a DIY approach isn't possible, consider these options:

  • Rent a Dumpster: You can rent a dumpster, fill it yourself, and the rental company will haul it away. This is a good middle-ground if you can do the labor but don't have a vehicle for transport.

  • Hire a Junk Removal Service: While typically the most expensive choice, hiring a professional junk removal team is the most time-efficient and requires the least effort from you. This is a good solution if your city's services won't accept the items or if you are unable to move them yourself.

To clean an estate, start by locating all important documents, which you’ll need to sort through. Have the mail forwarded, change the locks, and take inventory of the entire estate. Once you know what you’re dealing with, create a plan and a timeline for the cleanout. Start clearing out rooms and sorting items to donate, sell, or get rid of. Finally, deep clean the property.

Charcoal that contains lighter fluid or other additives is considered hazardous waste. Natural lump charcoal with no additives is not considered hazardous waste, although it is a flammable material. Burned charcoal that is reduced to ash is not considered hazardous waste and can be disposed of in an appropriate container in an outdoor trash barrel.
