Closets are packed, the garage is a maze, and the backyard has that one eyesore you keep ignoring. You don’t need a lecture. You need a plan that actually clears space without burning a weekend.
That is why neighbors call us for a junk cleanout service that shows up on time, prices the load clearly, and takes the weird, heavy, and awkward stuff people assume no one will touch.
We are licensed and insured, based in Charleston, and we work all over the metro area. Our crews load, sweep, and sort for donation or recycling whenever possible. Pricing is volume based, so you pay for the portion of the truck you fill.
Minimum loads, quarter, half, three-quarter, or full truck tiers keep the math simple. If access is tight or an item is unusually heavy, we explain adjustments before lifting a thing. No surprises.
Why People Assume We Can’t Take These
Two reasons stand out. First, many items are bulky or risky to move without the right gear. Second, curb pickup rules often exclude them, so folks think removal is DIY or nothing. We run a trained team with proper tools, protective gear, and trucks set up for tough loads.
Same-day or next-day pickup is often available, which means you can get a fast win. Quick note for clarity. We do not haul hazardous waste, liquids, or tires.
The Overlooked Ten
Hot tubs and spa shells
Heavy, awkward, and usually half buried in the yard. We dismantle as needed, protect the route out, and load safely so you get your patio back.
Mattresses and box springs
Nobody wants a used mattress in the car. We remove them, then route components for donation or recycling whenever options exist.
Home gym equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches. These chew up square footage and can damage floors on the way out. Our team pads, straps, and carries the load so you don’t have to.
Swing sets, playsets, and small sheds
Outgrown or rotted backyard gear is more complex than a simple haul. We disassemble, stack, and load. Yard looks bigger the same afternoon.
TVs and electronics
Old screens, towers, and bundles of cables. We collect and channel e-waste responsibly where accepted, which keeps harmful materials out of your bin.
Construction and remodel leftovers
Shingles, drywall scraps, trim cutoffs, old cabinets. After a project, you want a clean finish, not a pile that lingers. We sweep the site so you can enjoy the upgrade.
Mirrors, glass panels, and doors
Breakable, sharp, and anxiety inducing. We pack and load glass safely so you are not risking a home accident.
Pool liners, covers, and frames
Season changes, gear stays. We bundle and haul the mess so your yard is ready for the next setup.
Boats, kayaks, and small watercraft on land
Charleston life means gear. Sometimes it cracks or gets retired. If the hull is land-accessible, we remove it and free up space fast.
How Our Process Solves Real Problems
Clear pricing and fast scheduling
You know the load tier before we start. A lot of pickups fit a quarter or half truck, and we can stack items to maximize value. If stairs, attics, or soft ground require extra time, we explain it upfront. Many calls qualify for same-day or next-day removal, which means clutter goes from “I should” to “done” without dragging on.
Courteous crews who protect your home
Floors and doorways get pads. Tight corners get spotters. We carry out, then sweep up. The goal is a cleaner space than we found.
Donation and recycling first
Items with second life potential are separated for donation partners where available. Metals and electronics head for appropriate recycling streams. You feel good clearing space without dumping everything into a landfill.
Service area that actually covers your neighborhood
We pick up in Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island, Goose Creek, Johns Island, Summerville, Hollywood, Ravenel, Ladson, Nexton, Lincolnville, Daniel Island, and Hanahan. If you are not sure, ask. We likely already have a truck nearby.
Small Things People Forget We’ll Grab Too
Broken lawn equipment, scrap metal piles, old light fixtures, ceiling fans, even leftover motors and compressors from appliances that were taken apart. If it is not hazardous and we can access it safely, it probably fits the truck.
This is where a junk cleanout service earns its keep. One trip, many categories, zero chaos.
How To Prep For a Smooth Haul
- Make a quick list of must-go items so the team can plan the load order.
- Clear a path if possible. We will move obstacles if needed, yet tidy routes make the work faster and cheaper.
- Group smalls into boxes or bags. Loading speeds up and your quote stays tight.
- If an item has special instructions, tell us at the door. We are happy to accommodate.

We are local and we answer the phone. We show up during the window we promise. We respect your time, your property, and your budget. The truck leaves, the space breathes, and the project stops living rent-free in your head. That is the whole point.
