This Is the Crew That Shows Up

Full-time, uniformed professionals — not day laborers or subcontractors. Background-checked, trained, and proud to wear the uniform.

Junk Removal in 3 Steps

We’ve done this over 50,000 times since 1989. The process is dialed.

1

Call, Text, or Book Online

Tell us what needs to go. A couch in Ballard? A garage full of 20 years of stuff in Bellevue? Call (206) 722-4285, text us a photo, or request an estimate online. We respond fast — usually within the hour.

2

We Show Up — Free On-Site Estimate

Our crew arrives at the scheduled time, walks through what needs removal, and gives you an honest price on the spot. No hidden fees, no pressure. The estimate is free — always has been.

3

We Haul Everything — You Relax

Say the word and we get to work. We load it all, broom-sweep the area, and haul everything away. Over 80% gets donated or recycled through our partnerships with charitable organizations like Second Spark.

What Happens When We Arrive

Our team lead walks the property with you (or on their own — you don’t have to be home). They’ll identify everything that needs to go, check access points, and note anything that requires extra care — like a piano on the second floor or a hot tub on a raised deck.

Once we agree on the scope and price, the crew gets to work immediately. No waiting for a second appointment. No scheduling a different team to come back.

Most jobs take 1-3 hours. A single room or garage cleanout? Often under an hour. A full estate cleanout or property cleanout? We’ve cleared entire houses in a single day — we bring the trucks and the crew to match the job.

Full-Service Means You Don’t Touch a Thing

Every job follows the same process — whether it’s a single mattress or a 4-truck estate cleanout.

Walk-Through & Assessment

We check every room, closet, garage bay, and storage area. If it needs to go, we flag it. If you’re unsure, we’ll set it aside so you can decide.

Sort as We Go

Usable furniture and household goods go to charitable organizations like Second Spark. Metals, electronics, and cardboard go to private recycling partners. We sort on the truck — you never see a pile on your lawn.

Heavy Lifting — All of It

Basement fridges, attic furniture, backyard hot tubs — we carry it all out. Full-time crew, proper equipment. We’ve hauled pianos down spiral staircases and 800-lb safes out of basements.

Broom-Sweep Cleanup

After everything is loaded, we sweep the area clean. The space looks better than you expected — and it will. This is the part our property managers love most.

Transport & Responsible Disposal

We handle all the dump runs, recycling drop-offs, and donation deliveries. You never see it again, and over 80% avoids the landfill entirely.

Completion Photos

We send you photos of the clean space when we’re done — especially useful for property managers and real estate agents who aren’t always on-site.

Not sure what it’ll cost? Text us a photo — we’ll give you a ballpark within minutes. No appointment needed.

Same-Day Removal — Because Life Doesn’t Wait

Tenants leave without warning. A renovation wraps up early. Your landlord says “be out by tomorrow.” We get calls like these every day across Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, and the Eastside.

When you call us in the morning, we can often be at your door by the afternoon. We built our schedule around flexibility because junk removal is almost never planned — it just happens.

We run multiple trucks daily across King and Snohomish counties. If we have a crew near you, we’ll get them there. Call (206) 722-4285 and ask — the worst we can say is “tomorrow morning.”

Where Your Stuff Actually Goes

Most junk removal companies throw everything in a truck and drive straight to the dump. We don’t work that way — and we never have.

Over 80% of what we remove gets donated or recycled. Usable furniture, appliances, and household goods go directly to charitable organizations like Second Spark Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that furnishes low-income housing for families across King County.

Metals, electronics, cardboard, and other recyclables go to private recycling partners. 100% of appliances get recycled — every fridge, washer, and dryer. Only materials that truly can’t be reused or recycled go to disposal.

When you hire us, your stuff doesn’t just disappear into a landfill. It gets a second life.

Why Our Prices Are Better

Same Job. Half the Trips. Cheaper Price.

Most junk removal companies show up with a trailer hitched to a pickup or a small 10-yard dump truck. Our fleet runs full-size 20-yard trucks with a 16×12-foot bed — 60% more room than the competition.

More capacity means your whole project fits in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.

Questions About the Process

How fast can you get here?
We offer same-day and next-day junk removal across Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Shoreline, and the greater Eastside. Morning calls often get afternoon pickups. Call (206) 722-4285 to check today’s availability.

How much does junk removal cost?
Pricing starts at $99 and depends on the volume of material. We don’t quote over the phone — we come out, look at the job, and give you an honest price on the spot. The estimate is always free, and there’s never any obligation. Request your free estimate.

Do I need to be home?
Not at all. Many of our customers — especially property managers and real estate agents — give us a lockbox code or meet us once and let us handle the rest. We’ll send you completion photos when we’re done. Over 30 years in business means you can trust us with the keys.

What can’t you take?
Hazardous chemicals, paint thinners, asbestos, and medical waste. That’s about it. If you’re not sure whether we can haul something, call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo — we’ll tell you straight.

What happens to my stuff after you take it?
Over 80% gets donated or recycled. Usable goods go to charitable organizations like Second Spark Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Metals and electronics go to private recycling partners. Only materials that truly can’t be reused hit the landfill.

Do you handle construction debris?
Absolutely. Drywall, lumber, tile, concrete, roofing materials, old cabinets — we handle all types of construction and renovation debris. We work with contractors across Seattle and the Eastside daily.

Are you insured?
Fully insured and bonded. We’ve been operating in Seattle since 1989. Full-time, uniformed crew — not day laborers or subcontractors.

Can you give me an estimate over the phone?
We can give you a general range, but final pricing requires seeing the job in person. Volume, weight, access difficulty, and disposal requirements all factor in. The on-site estimate is free and takes about 10 minutes. Text us a photo for a faster ballpark.
