(55 reviews)

About this business

Around here, EZ Junk LLC operates like the crews you end up saving in your phone—because they actually show up, and they don’t make the whole thing harder than it needs to be. Folks keep naming names (Cesar, Mateo, Gabby, CJ), and that tells you something: the same people are out there on the jobs, not some rotating “whoever’s available” setup. And when you get that kind of consistency, you usually get consistent ...

What customers say

“I grabbed their number off the side of one of their trucks. CJ came and did a walk through with me and gave an reasonable estimate for the scope of work. Kind, professional, and very communicative. After all was said and done, they came in under estimate and did the adjustment on the spot. Highly recommend!”
— jean macon

“I passed one of their trucks and gave them a call. CJ came and did a free estimate for the scope of work. A reasonable amount of monies later. The basement and garage were clear and a price adjustment was done on the spot. They moved and swept and were so sweet and very respectful. Highly recommend EZ Junk for your hauling needs!”

Junk Boss

About this business

If you’re looking at Junk Boss out of Nottingham, NH, here’s what you’re really getting beyond the basic “we haul your junk” pitch. This company runs a straightforward operation focused on giving folks a no-fuss experience — showing up on time and making the whole thing feel easy to deal with, which, frankly, isn’t always guaranteed in this biz. You see plenty of outfits that underquote and then nickel-and-dime you ...

What customers say

“Junk Boss has helped us multiple times over the years. They’re always professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend them for any junk removal needs!”
— Michael Pappas

“Exemplary Professionals - Keith is an extraordinary professional who runs a first class business. He was responsive/returned phone calls and when I needed to reschedule the initial project date he made it happen. On the day of the clutter pickup, which was well over 90 degrees, Keith and his son were on time and ready to go. They moved multiple pieces of heavy furniture and even agreed to assist my husband with lifting a piece of boat equipment. If you are downsizing, assisting an elderly parent with a living transition - look no further than Keith and the team at Junk Boss. The Best. Janet S. Rye”

What customers say

“A great experience and super quick and efficient service! Highly recommend for junk removal!”

He has none of the restricitons that come with the Bagster terms. And, you can use the bag over and over again because he leaves it at your house. You just pay for the take away each time. I strongly recommend Tom Cassidy and Junk It Now. Anyone thinking of moving or just clearing out the house for any reason, call Tom. Great service.”

— M J

“We were very grateful for the quick response when our basement got wet because our sump pump failed. This occurred shortly before the Spencer flood. Serve Pro spent one day at our house removing carpet and setting up equipment to dry out the basement. They stopped back daily to check on the moisture level. We were very SHOCKED at the price we were charged for the service. We have heard that ServePro is famous for price gouging people. This is a shame when so many people lost so much!!!”

Local Junk Disposal Rules & Recycling Programs in Houston

Regular household trash in Houston is typically collected curbside once a week in carts or bags, while recyclables are collected on a separate schedule; residents should keep trash, recycling, and any bulk items in clearly separated piles so crews can identify what goes where.
Bulk trash such as furniture, mattresses, and non-hazardous household items is usually picked up on a set day for your neighborhood; items are often required to be placed at the curb no earlier than the day before collection and no later than 7:00 a.m. on pickup day.
Many Houston neighborhoods have a volume limit for bulk pickup, often around 5–8 cubic yards per collection (roughly a pile about 6 ft wide × 10–12 ft long × 3 ft high); larger piles may be tagged and require a special request, extra fees, or a private junk removal service.
Construction and demolition debris from remodeling projects—such as drywall, tile, roofing, bricks, and large amounts of lumber—is typically not accepted in regular bulk pickup and often must be taken to an approved disposal facility, placed in a rented dumpster, or removed by a private junk hauler.
Yard waste like bagged leaves, bundled branches, and grass clippings is usually collected separately from bulk junk; branches often must be cut to a certain length and bundled with string or twine so crews can handle them safely.
Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, automotive fluids, propane tanks, certain electronics) are generally not allowed in curbside trash or bulk piles and must be taken to designated household hazardous waste facilities or special collection events.
When setting out bulk items, residents should place them at the curb in front of their property without blocking sidewalks, driveways, mailboxes, or storm drains, and avoid placing items under low power lines or tree branches so collection trucks can safely access them.

Because rules and schedules can vary by neighborhood and change over time, always confirm the latest trash, recycling, and bulk pickup guidelines on the official city or county sanitation website before placing items at the curb.

Frequently Asked Questions about Houston Junk Removal

What kinds of items do junk removal companies in Houston usually take?

Most Houston junk removal services will haul away furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, boxes of household clutter, yard debris, and bagged trash, along with small amounts of construction debris like wood, tile, and drywall. Very heavy materials or hazardous waste may require special handling or a different service.

Will a junk removal company in Houston donate or recycle my items?

Many Houston haulers try to donate usable furniture, clothing, and household goods to local charities and send metals, electronics, and cardboard to recycling facilities when possible. Policies vary by company, so ask your hauler how they handle donations and what percentage of items they typically divert from the landfill.

Do I have to be home when the junk removal crew arrives in Houston?

In Houston, many companies prefer that you be on-site to confirm what should go and approve final pricing, but some will offer curbside or driveway pickup if items are clearly marked and accessible. If you cannot be home, confirm payment arrangements and access instructions with the hauler in advance.

How far in advance should I schedule junk removal in Houston?

For standard loads, scheduling 2–3 days in advance is often enough in Houston, especially on weekdays. During busy times like spring cleanouts, summer moves, or post-storm cleanups, it’s wise to book at least a week ahead to get your preferred date and time.

Will Houston junk removal companies take construction and remodeling debris?

Many local haulers do accept construction debris such as lumber, cabinets, flooring, and drywall, but they may charge higher rates for heavy loads and limit materials like concrete, brick, or roofing. Always describe your project in detail so the company can confirm what they accept and provide an accurate quote.

Can junk removal services in Houston handle large property or estate cleanouts?

Yes, many Houston junk removal providers specialize in full home, estate, or office cleanouts and can bring multiple trucks and crew members. These jobs usually require an on-site estimate and may be completed over several trips, depending on the size and access to the property.

Responsible Junk Removal in Houston

Responsible junk removal in Houston means keeping usable items out of the landfill whenever possible. Before tossing everything, consider donating furniture, working appliances, and household goods so they can be reused by local families, and ask your hauler to separate metals, electronics, cardboard, and other recyclables.

Avoid illegal dumping in empty lots, bayous, canals, or along roadways, which can cause flooding, attract pests, and lead to fines. When comparing companies on Junk Removal 365, look for Houston providers that clearly explain their donation partners, recycling practices, and commitment to reuse so you can clean up your space while minimizing your impact on the environment.
