Junk Removal FAQ for Des Moines Homeowners

How often should Des Moines homeowners get junk removal?
Given Des Moines's extreme temperature range: -20°f winter wind chills to 100°f+ summer days, most homeowners benefit from junk removal at least once a year. Post-hail storm roof and siding inspection (May–July) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Des Moines most need junk removal?
Brick ranch and Cape Cod homes throughout Polk County and Victorian and Craftsman homes in Sherman Hill and Ingersoll Park are the most common home types in Des Moines and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What items can you take?
We accept furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, clothing, boxes, and most household items. We cannot take hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, or asbestos.
How is junk removal priced?
Pricing is based on volume — how much space your items take up in the truck. A minimum load typically starts around $100–$150; a full truck runs $400–$600.
Do I need to be home during pickup?
You don't need to be present if items are accessible. Many customers leave gate codes and leave for work. We send before and after photos for your records.
What happens to my items?
We partner with local charities and recycling centers to donate and recycle as much as possible. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed facilities.
