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.

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.

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
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, we can often be at your door the same day. 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.”
Donate first. Recycle second. Landfill last.
Every Junk B Gone cleanout starts with a sort. We donate reusable items to Goodwill, Second Spark, and other local charities — your old stuff becomes someone’s fresh start.

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.
Have a question before you book? Call (206) 722-4285 or text us. Real people answer — not a call center.

Truck size matters
A bigger truck. Fewer trips. More for your money.
A "full load" only means something if you know the size of the truck. Our beds run 12 to 16 feet long, all 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, and we often load above the rails and tarp it down. For the biggest jobs we send our 24-foot truck.
More capacity means most projects fit 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. Call or text photos for a quote, or 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 37 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.
