Junk Removal & Trash Hauling Services

Our Junk Removal Services in Wilmington, NC

Most people arrive here with one of two questions: can you take this particular thing, and which service is it? This page answers both. Below is everything we do, an A–Z of what actually goes in the trailer, and the short list of what we can’t touch.

If you already know what you need, skip ahead — or just text a photo to 910-310-5115 and we’ll tell you which service it falls under and what it costs.

Residential Services

  • Residential junk removal — household clutter, bulk trash, yard debris, garage, attic, basement and shed clearouts, plus full house and estate cleanouts
  • Furniture removal — sofas, sectionals, recliners, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, dressers, tables and patio furniture
  • Appliance removal — fridges, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, water heaters and window AC units, recycled rather than landfilled
  • $99 single item pickup — one couch, one mattress, one appliance, no minimum load

Commercial Services

  • Commercial junk removal — retail refits, restaurant equipment, rental turnovers, storage lien units, job site clearance and electronics disposal
  • Full office cleanouts — whole suites and floors cleared for lease end, downsizing or relocation, including cubicle dismantling

Commercial customers can be invoiced rather than paying at the door, and we work evenings and weekends around trading hours.

Construction & Demolition

These loads are priced on volume and weight, because dense material hits disposal weight limits well before it fills a trailer.

Hauling & Delivery

  • Hauling and moving services — mulch, topsoil, gravel and sand delivered by dump trailer, storage unit moves, marketplace and store collections, heavy single-item moves and labour-only loading help

This is the one service that works in the opposite direction — things arriving rather than leaving.

A–Z: What We Actually Take

Furniture and soft furnishings — sofas, sectionals, loveseats, recliners, sleeper sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs, dressers, wardrobes, bookcases, desks, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, cribs, rugs and carpet.

Appliances — refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, window AC units, dehumidifiers, commercial coolers and ice machines.

Electronics — TVs, monitors, computers, printers, copiers, phone systems, networking equipment, UPS units and small electricals.

Household and garage — boxes, clothing, toys, books, exercise equipment, treadmills, bikes, tools, holiday decorations and general clutter.

Yard and outdoor — limbs, brush, pine straw, leaves, fencing, decking, sheds, playsets, above-ground pools, hot tubs, grills, patio furniture and storm debris.

Construction and renovation — lumber, drywall, tile, concrete, brick, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, doors, windows, roofing and packaging.

Commercial — office furniture, cubicles and systems furniture, filing cabinets, shelving, retail fixtures, display units, mannequins, signage, restaurant equipment and pallets.

Marine — small boats past repair, boat trailers, jet skis, dock sections, davits and crab pots.

If your item isn’t on the list, it’s almost certainly still fine. Send a photo and we’ll confirm.

What We Can’t Take

Hazardous material, essentially. Paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides and herbicides, pool chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks, fuel, marine fuel, bottom paint, lead-acid batteries and regulated medical waste including sharps and biohazard containers.

These require licensed disposal, and New Hanover County runs a household hazardous waste programme for the domestic side of that list. Businesses generating regulated waste should route it through a licensed contractor. If you’re unsure about something, ask before you book rather than finding out on the day.

How Pricing Works Across All Services

Removal work is priced by the space your load takes in the trailer rather than by weight. Single items start at $99 and most jobs land between $99 and $1,000. Our trailers are 11ft long, 8ft wide and 5ft tall, and you can book anything from an eighth of a load upwards.

Two exceptions. Construction and demolition loads factor in weight as well as volume. And hauling or delivery jobs are quoted individually on distance, quantity and the labour at each end.

Full pricing detail, including a load size table, is on our Wilmington junk removal page.

Combining Services in One Visit

Worth knowing, because it usually saves money: you can combine jobs on a single visit. Clear the garage and take delivery of mulch on the same trip. Empty a storage unit and dispose of what you’re not keeping. Strip out a bathroom and haul away the old furniture from the spare room while we’re there.

One visit at one load size costs less than two call-outs, so it’s worth listing everything when you ask for a quote rather than booking piecemeal.

Where We Work

Wilmington, Porters Neck and Ogden, Wrightsville Beach, Hampstead and Leland, plus Landfall, Figure Eight Island, Carolina Beach, Belville and Navassa — and wider coverage across New Hanover, Pender, Brunswick, Onslow and Duplin counties.

Booking

Text photos to 910-310-5115 or book online and save $20 on orders over $125. Most quotes come back within the hour, and the price we give you holds unless the load changes. Same-day pickup is available most days.

WORDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Junk Removal Services — Common Questions

These are the questions people ask when they’re not yet sure which service they need, or whether we’ll take the thing sitting in their garage. If yours isn’t answered here, text a photo to 910-310-5115 and we’ll tell you which service it falls under and what it costs, usually within the hour.

What junk removal services do you offer?

Residential junk removal including garage, attic, basement, shed and full estate cleanouts; furniture and mattress removal; appliance removal and recycling; construction and demolition debris; commercial junk removal and full office cleanouts; and hauling and delivery, which covers mulch, gravel and sand, storage unit moves, marketplace collections and heavy single-item moves. Single items start at $99 with no minimum load.

I’ve only got one thing. Which service is that?

Our $99 single item pickup. One couch, one mattress, one appliance, one treadmill — there’s no minimum load and you don’t need to fill a trailer to book. If you’re in Porters Neck or Ogden it’s especially worth doing, since we’re based in the same zip code and travel time isn’t padding the quote.

Do you work for businesses as well as households?

Yes, and commercial work runs slightly differently. We can invoice your accounts department rather than taking payment at the door, arrange a certificate of insurance for your building manager in advance, and work evenings or weekends around your trading hours. Property managers with several sites can set up a scheduled run, which costs less than booking each clearance individually.

Can I combine services in one visit?

Yes, and it usually saves money. Clear the garage and take a mulch delivery on the same trip. Empty a storage unit and dispose of what you’re not keeping. Strip out a bathroom and take the old spare-room furniture while we’re there. One visit at one load size costs less than two separate call-outs, so list everything when you ask for a quote rather than booking piecemeal.

How does pricing work across the different services?

Removal work is priced by the space your load takes in the trailer rather than by weight. Single items start at $99 and most jobs land between $99 and $1,000. Two exceptions: construction and demolition loads factor in weight as well as volume, because dense material hits disposal limits before it fills a trailer; and hauling or delivery jobs are quoted individually on distance, quantity and labour at each end.

Is there anything you won’t take?

Hazardous material, essentially — paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, propane tanks, fuel, marine fuel, bottom paint, lead-acid batteries, and regulated medical waste including sharps and biohazard containers. All of that needs licensed disposal, and New Hanover County runs a household hazardous waste programme for the domestic side. Everything else, ask — the list of things we can take is far longer than the list we can’t.

How quickly can you come out?

Same-day pickup is available most days, and next-day nearly always. Booking online locks in your slot and takes $20 off orders over $125. The exception is after a named storm, when we’re typically booked several days ahead — call early rather than waiting to see what your insurer says.

What happens to everything after you take it?

We sort every load. Usable furniture, appliances, clothing and building materials go to local donation partners, metal, cardboard and electronics go to recyclers, and only what genuinely can’t be reused goes to the landfill. Appliances in particular are among the most recyclable things we handle, since steel, copper and aluminium are all recoverable.
