FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

How much does junk removal cost?+

Pricing depends on how much space your items take up in our truck, the labor involved, access (stairs, distance) and disposal fees. We always give you a free, upfront price before we start β€” no hidden fees, ever.

How soon can you come?+

Same-day or next-day pickup is often available. We work Monday through Saturday, 7am–8pm, so evening appointments are usually possible too.

Do I need to move everything to the curb?+

Nope. We do all the heavy lifting from wherever the items are β€” basement, attic, upstairs bedroom, backyard.

Do I need to prepare anything?+

No prep needed. Just show us what's going and what's staying. We'll handle the loading and sweep up afterwards.

Can you remove really heavy items?+

Yes β€” safes, pianos, hot tubs, appliances and more. We bring the crew and equipment to do it safely.

What happens to my stuff?+

We donate usable items, recycle what we can and responsibly dispose of the rest. Keeping things out of the landfill is a big part of who we are.

Do you offer any discounts?+

Yes! Military members and first responders get 10% off. Just mention it when you book.
