How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Des Moines?
Junk removal pricing depends on the volume of items, weight, labor required, how accessible the items are, and any disposal fees involved. Every job is different, which is why we base pricing on how much space your items take up in our truck rather than charging a flat rate that doesn't reflect the real work involved.
| Load Size | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|
| Single Item | One piece of furniture or appliance |
| Small Load | A few items — roughly 1/8 of a truck |
| Quarter Truck | Small room or partial cleanout |
| Half Truck | Multiple rooms or a garage |
| Three Quarter Truck | Large cleanout or renovation debris |
| Full Truck | Whole-home, estate, or major cleanout |
Because every home and job site is different, we don't publish flat prices — instead, we always provide a free, no-obligation estimate before any work begins. You'll know your price upfront, with no hidden fees added later.

We Donate & Recycle Whenever Possible
Not everything we remove from a Des Moines home or business ends up in a landfill. Before disposal, our crew sorts through every load to separate items that can be donated, recycled, or repurposed — because responsible junk removal means more than just hauling things away.
Furniture in good condition is set aside for donation to local charities, giving couches, tables, and dressers a second life with families who need them. Appliances are checked for working condition before their metal components are recycled. Metal of all kinds — from bed frames to shelving — is separated and taken to metal recycling facilities rather than the dump.
Electronics like TVs and computers are recycled through proper e-waste channels to keep hazardous materials out of the environment. Cardboard and paper products are broken down and recycled, and yard waste is composted or mulched whenever local facilities accept it.
This commitment to recycling practices and environmental responsibility is part of why Des Moines homeowners and businesses trust us — we treat the community and the environment with the same care we bring to every job.
Trusted Throughout Des Moines
Over the years, we've helped homeowners across Beaverdale and Sherman Hill prepare their homes for sale by clearing out garages, basements, and spare rooms before showings — because a clean, decluttered home helps make the right first impression on buyers.
We regularly work with property managers and landlords on apartment cleanouts and rental turnovers throughout Des Moines, helping units get cleaned, repaired, and re-listed without delay between tenants.
Homeowners tackling garage cleanouts in areas like Drake call on us when a weekend project turns into more hauling than expected. And when a renovation near River Bend leaves behind drywall, flooring, or old fixtures, we clear the debris so contractors and homeowners can keep projects moving.
We also support Des Moines offices and small businesses through office cleanouts, removing old furniture and equipment during moves, downsizing, or remodels — always working around business hours to minimize disruption.
