Cost
How the price works, with no surprises on the bill.
How much does junk removal cost in NH?
Single items start at $35. Bigger jobs are priced by how much of the truck your stuff fills, with labor, loading, hauling and disposal all included. You get the exact price before any work starts.
How much does it cost to get rid of a couch?
It depends on the size of the couch and how far we carry it. Single items start at $35 for small pieces, and a couch costs more than that. Text a photo to 603-500-5865 and we'll send back the exact price.
Is the junk removal estimate free?
Yes. Text us photos or we come out, look at what's going, and give you the exact price on the spot. If you'd rather not go ahead, there's no charge.
Is junk removal cheaper than renting a dumpster?
For most home jobs, yes, or close to it. A dumpster costs the same full or half empty, sits in your driveway, and you do all the loading. With us you pay for the space your stuff takes up, we do the lifting, and it's gone the same day.
Do you charge extra for stairs?
No surprise charges. Stairs and long carries are built into the price we give you before we start, and that's the price you pay.
How do I pay for junk removal?
Credit, debit, cash, or estate, certified and business checks. No personal checks, and no deposit. You pay when the job is done and get an emailed receipt.
Do you have discounts?
Yes. Veterans, active military and seniors get a discount, so mention it when you book. Landlords and property managers with several units can ask about pricing for the whole batch.
5 questions
Timing and same day
When we can come, and when we show up.
Can I get same day junk removal near me?
Often, yes. Single items and small loads can often go the same day you call, and bigger cleanouts are usually a day or two out. Call or text 603-500-5865 any day from 8 am to 8 pm.
Do you do junk removal on Sundays?
Yes. We work seven days a week, 8 am to 8 pm, Sundays and evenings included. That helps when your town dump is closed.
When will the junk removal crew show up?
You get a two hour arrival window. The crew calls or texts about 30 minutes before they pull up, so you're not stuck waiting all day.
How long does junk removal take?
A single item takes about 15 minutes. A garage or a one bedroom apartment is usually two to four hours. A whole house can take a full day or more than one truckload.
Do I need to be home for junk removal?
Not always. Once we agree on the price, you can leave the garage open or give us a lockbox or gate code. We text you photos when it's done.

How it works
From your first text to an empty room.
How does junk removal work?
Text photos or book a free walkthrough, and you get one price. Pick a time, and our crew carries, loads and hauls it all away. Usable items are donated, metal and electronics are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed facility.

6 questions
What we take
If two guys can lift it, it's gone.
What will a junk removal company take?
We take furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs and electronics, household junk, and renovation debris. We also do full garage, basement and estate cleanouts. If it's not hazardous and two people can carry it, it goes on the truck.
Do you take mattresses?
Yes, any size and any condition. A mattress is priced as a single item unless it's part of a bigger load.
Do you take refrigerators and other appliances?
Yes. Fridges, freezers, washers, dryers and air conditioners all go. Anything with refrigerant goes to a recycler that removes it safely.
Do you remove hot tubs?
Yes. We cut the tub up on site and haul the pieces, and we can take the deck under it on the same visit. Drain it first, and for most tubs an electrician disconnects the wiring before we come.
Can you tear down a shed or deck?
Yes. We take down and haul away sheds, decks, fences, playsets and above ground pools. Concrete slabs and footings are a separate job.
Do you take construction debris?
Yes. Drywall, lumber, cabinets, flooring and tile from a remodel all go. Heavy material like tile, concrete or dirt is priced by weight, and we tell you that up front.
4 questions
What we don't take
The short list of things that can't go on the truck.
What won't junk removal take?
We can't take hazardous materials. That means paint, stains, solvents, chemicals, pesticides, asbestos, propane tanks, loose gas or oil in cans, and medical waste. We don't take heating oil tanks either.
Where do I get rid of paint and chemicals?
Use your town's household hazardous waste collection day. Salem holds its own, and Windham, Pelham and Hudson use the Nashua region's collections.
Can you take a lawn mower with gas still in it?
Yes. Mowers, snow blowers and generators are fine, running or not, gas and all. If you can run the tank dry first, great.
Do you tear down garages or houses?
No. We take down sheds, decks, fences, pools, playsets and hot tubs. Anything that needs heavy equipment, like a garage or a house, is outside what we do.
