What we do

Junk removal in Phoenix

Junk removal is a crew coming to the property, carrying out the unwanted items from wherever they sit and hauling them away for donation, recycling or disposal. That is the whole of what EJ Junk Removal does in Phoenix: you point at the junk, we haul it. The job may be a single broken recliner, a garage packed to the door, or the construction debris removal a remodel leaves behind, and the crew carries every piece out itself, with no need for you to move anything to the curb first.

One call starts it. We give you an estimate from a few photos or a short walk-through, and when the crew arrives the price is confirmed before anyone lifts a thing. Old furniture, dead appliances, mattresses, hot tubs, yard waste and whole-house clutter all go on the same truck, so you make one phone call instead of several trips to the dump, and the room, the garage or the yard is back in use the same afternoon.

What we haul

Junk removal services for every kind of pile

Furniture, appliance and mattress removal

The crew removes furniture, appliances and mattresses from any room in the house, upstairs or down. Our junk removal crew carries couches, dressers and tables out of any room as furniture removal. Old fridges, washers and dryers leave the house through appliance removal. Pickup and recycling of old beds and box springs run through mattress removal. The household items most pickups include are these.

  • Furniture
  • Appliances
  • Mattresses
  • Box springs
  • Couches and sofas

The crew picks each piece up fast, leaves the room clean of dirt and packing, and refrigerators with coolant get the special handling they need, so our clients never have to deal with them properly on their own.

Hot tub and debris removal

Outdoor jobs cover old hot tubs cut down on site and yard, storm and construction debris loaded and hauled. An old spa is cut into sections on the pad and hauled off through the side gate under hot tub removal. Yard waste, storm branches and remodel leftovers are loaded as debris removal, with green waste sorted from concrete and lumber. The outdoor jobs we take most often are these.

  • Hot tubs and spas
  • Yard and green waste
  • Storm debris
  • Construction debris and concrete
  • Old sheds and fencing

You phone us, we quote the whole process from a few pictures, and the garbage, the pieces that can be donated and the recyclables each go where they belong, so you reclaim the yard with the disposal fees folded into one service.

Estate and commercial cleanouts

Whole-property jobs are estate cleanouts of a family home and commercial cleanouts of offices, stores and rentals. When a family home has to be emptied, our junk removal crew clears it room by room through estate cleanout services. Offices, stores and rentals left full by a tenant are cleared through commercial junk removal, the trash-out landlords and property managers ask for. The whole-property jobs we take are these.

  • Estate cleanouts
  • Office cleanouts
  • Store and back-room clearing
  • Rental trash-outs
  • Storage units

You request a time, the removal company works quickly and efficiently through every room, and the property is gone over before the junk pickup leaves so nothing is left behind for you.

How it works

How a junk pickup works, from photo quote to sweep-up

A call or a few photos gets you a quote, you pick a day and an arrival window, the crew texts on the way, confirms the price on site, loads everything and sweeps up. A pickup runs in this order.

  1. Text us pictures of the items or call, and we send a quote back, often within minutes.
  2. Pick a day and an arrival window that fits your schedule.
  3. The crew texts you when it is on the way.
  4. On arrival we confirm the price, adjusting only for the actual volume, labor or weight, and show you anything that still looks usable before it goes.
  5. We load everything, the trash and the waste alike, and sweep the area before leaving.

The same process covers a single mattress removal and a whole family's living room; only the size of the load changes, not the way we meet your removal needs.

Price and timing

What it costs and how soon it goes

How junk removal is priced by truck space

Junk removal is priced mainly by how much of the truck the items fill, with weight, disposal fees and access moving the price up or down. Haulers measure that space in cubic yards, and a standard washing machine takes up about one cubic yard, so a load is easy to picture. Heavy things like dirt, concrete and tile cost more for their weight and disposal fees, and stairs or a long carry add labor. A minimum load covers "just one couch", and the free quote you get from your photos is the price you pay unless the pile turns out bigger or smaller than it looked. By the truckload, the cost of a mixed load is broken down on our junk removal cost page, so you know what the new work will run before you clean out a thing.

Same-day and next-day junk pickup

Most pickups can be booked within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day junk pickup is often available when the route allows. Call in the morning and there is a fair chance the truck is in your driveway today; book a day ahead and you choose the window. We keep the estimate free and the price affordable by filling the truck along a sensible route, so a next-day slot is sometimes the cheaper one, since same-day and weekend jobs cost more across the trade than jobs booked days ahead. The crew brings the people for the stairs, and we keep the neighbors in mind, so the truck is loaded and gone without blocking the street for hours, whether the job is a hot tub removal or a single chair.

Who shows up

Our crew, truck and trailer

A trained, insured crew does all the lifting and loads a dump truck or trailer that holds several pickup loads. Our dump truck takes about six to eight regular pickup truck loads, and the truck-and-trailer setup handles large furniture that never fits a standard pickup. The team is licensed and insured, and it treats your home like its own: blankets on the door frames, time taken in tight spaces and on stairs, and floors, walls and landscaping protected so nothing is damaged on the way out. The same equipment and tools cover appliance removal, storage units and renovation projects, so one crew finishes the job in one visit.

Service levels

Single items, curbside and full-service removal

Service runs from a single item to a full load, picked up at the curb or carried out from inside by the crew. A single-item pickup is the smallest job and the minimum load; a curbside pickup is the cheapest, since you carry the old bulky pieces outside and the crew only has to load; and full-service removal means the crew comes inside to wherever the items sit, the garage and the back bedroom included, and protects your walls and tile on the way out. Whatever level you choose, the quote is free and the crew is available to answer questions before you book. The service levels and the bulk jobs we take are listed here.

  • Single-item pickup
  • Curbside pickup
  • Full-service removal
  • Garage cleanouts
  • Bulk trash removal
  • Old furniture haul-away
  • Bulky appliance pickup

Who we work for

Junk removal for Phoenix homes and businesses

EJ Junk Removal works for Phoenix homeowners, renters, landlords and businesses, on houses, garages, offices and rentals alike.

Residential junk removal

For homeowners we clear the house, the garage and the yard: household clutter, the couch that never sold, the tons of boxes a move leaves behind, and the yard debris removal a storm or a landscaping project calls for. Renters moving out and landlords turning a unit over get the same crew carrying everything down the stairs.

Commercial junk removal

For businesses we remove old desks, fixtures and renovation leftovers from offices, stores and rental properties, with the day and arrival window set by you so the doors stay open and the residential crew next door never notices.

Where we go

Junk removal around Phoenix and nearby towns

The crew works across Phoenix and the towns around it listed on the service area page. We serve the surrounding area of Maricopa County as local haulers, so the same removal services, from a single-room trash-out to construction debris, come with the same crew and the same trash removal process whether the address is in central Phoenix or a neighboring town. Every town our junk removal truck reaches is listed on the service area around Phoenix, with a page for each of the towns we visit most. A job just outside that area is a question for the call rather than a no; tell us where the junk is and we will say whether the route reaches you.

Serving Phoenix and Maricopa County

EJ Junk Removal is based on East Camelback Road in Phoenix, Arizona, and hauls junk across Maricopa County. The towns below each have a page of their own, and the map shows where we are based. We also reach Tolleson, El Mirage, Scottsdale, Tempe, Guadalupe, Litchfield Park, Maricopa Colony and Sun City West.

Good to know

Before your junk pickup

The questions below come up before most pickups and are answered in full on their own pages. A small job and a whole-house clearout anywhere in the city raise the same ones: where the unwanted items go, what a fully insured crew turns down, whether a dumpster is the better fit, and whether you need to be there. Contact us if yours is missing and we will make space for the answer.

Where hauled junk goes

Hauled junk is sorted so usable items go to donation, metal and other materials to recycling, and the rest to a transfer station or landfill. The crew sorts during loading by condition and material, scrap metal included, so a week's worth of bulk trash removal is not one trip to the dump. Donation and recycling take what they can before the landfill, as laid out under junk disposal.

Items junk haulers turn down

Junk haulers turn down hazardous materials such as paint, motor oil, batteries and propane tanks, which go to a household hazardous waste collection program instead. Those rules are standard across the trade, and a friendly crew tells the customer up front rather than at the truck. The items that cannot go in the truck, and where they go instead, are listed under what junk removal won't take.

Dumpster or junk removal crew

A rented dumpster suits waste that piles up over weeks, while a crew suits junk that is ready to go in one visit. With a dumpster you do all the loading yourself; with a crew everything is loaded for you, the yard debris, the landscaping leftovers and the hot tub removal included, as a same day service when the route allows. Which option fits the job is laid out in dumpster vs junk removal.

Pests, injuries and HOA notices from junk piles

Junk piles can draw rodents and mosquitoes, hide sharp edges and bring HOA notices, while hauling them yourself risks cuts and back strain. Standing water in a neglected pile breeds mosquitoes, and visible debris can mean HOA fines or a deadline to remove it. Clearing the clutter is a safety job as much as a tidy one, and junk removal services take the stress and the hassle of it off you.

Hoarding cleanup and e-waste removal

Hoarding cleanups are done room by room and without judgment, and old electronics go to certified e-waste handlers. The crew wears protective clothing, and a home with fire risk, vermin or structural damage is referred to a licensed trade before the cleanout continues. Old tube (CRT) televisions, computers and monitors go to certified electronics recyclers rather than the landfill, the eco friendly end for large and small e-waste alike.

Pickup when you are not home

No, you often do not need to be home when the items are accessible. Leave the side gate unlocked or the garage open, text us a photo of the pile and where it sits, and the crew texts when it is on the way and loads it without you, bagged materials and loose items alike, efficient even in the hot months when nobody wants to wait outside.

Reviews

What Phoenix neighbors say

"The crew cleared years of boxes and an old couch out of our garage in one visit. The price they gave from our photos held on the day, and they swept the floor before they left."

MariaPhoenix

"Our old spa had been dead for years. They cut it into pieces, carried it out through the side gate and left the pad swept clean."

D.Glendale

"We were handling my mother's house from out of state. They sent photos of each room, set aside the papers they found and left the house ready to list."
