What customers say

“I would give zero stars if possible!! Whoever picks up the recycling doesn’t deserve a job, this idiot skips our recycling all the time, he grabs our neighbors, but not ours! I even have it propped open so he can see that he hasn’t picked it up yet!”
— 2 kids Toy testing

“Consistently will miss garbage and or recycling and when we call. We just get told, "We'll get it next week". This has been all to common over the last couple months especially. Also was told that they will not give credits on the bill. So if they miss garbage 2 of the 4 weeks of the month, we still pay full price. Trash company gives trash a whole new meaning.”

What customers say

“We recently used John and Take This Junk to clean out our house in Westport Point. And I gotta tell ya - we could not be happier! We had to reschedule due to the big snowstorm at the end of February, and everything worked out without a hitch. There were 3 on their team with 2 trucks. 5 loads total + 9 mattresses/box springs over 2 1/2 days. They're in Attleboro, so it was a bit of a trek to and from Westport Point each day. They showed up on time, were really, really efficient, and actually were really FUN to work with. Would not hesitate for a nanosecond to recommend John and his team.”

“This was the easiest company I have ever had to work with. I was able to text pictures of what I needed removed, and I received a price within minutes. They were able to fit me into their schedule fast, and were in and out of my house in under 15 minutes. I would absolutely use them again!”

Shephaul Junk Removal

10out of 10

(52 reviews)

About this business

Around Forest and Lynchburg, you hear the same names come up when folks need junk=removed without a bunch of back-and-forth. ShepHaul is one of those outfits. Mason runs it like a hands-on owner-operator should: he’s responsive, he answers texts/phone calls fast, and he shows up on time. And in this line of work, that’s half the battle, right? What stands out is how he keeps it simple. People call, send a couple ...

What customers say

“Picture it: I'm mid-remodel, drowning in 100+ broken-down boxes and a dozen trash bags of packing material, and I reach out to three haul-away services in Lynchburg. Two asked for photos and descriptions — fine. But Mason with ShepHaul? He responded immediately and said, "I'll come out first thing, give you a quote, and if you like the number I can handle it right then." ... freaking brilliant. That is exactly how a busy professional human wants this transaction to go. He showed up when he said he would, quoted me fairly, and was halfway done hauling when a COMPETITOR (who shall remain nameless) — who I never hired, never confirmed with, and never heard from until two hours before ShepHaul arrived — rolled up and started backing a dumpster into the other side of my driveway. While ShepHaul's branded truck was sitting right there. You cannot make this up. ShepHaul was professional, efficient, friendly, and rolled up with his German Shepherd Rex — who, as it happens, is also the literal face of the ShepHaul logo. You don't name a company after your dog and then not show up for people. It tracks. As a bonus, Mason (the owner of ShepHaul) turned out to have Louisiana roots (like me) AND be a business major (as evidenced by his professionalism). Small world, smaller odds, zero regrets. If you need something hauled and you'd like to be treated like an adult who schedules her own appointments, call ShepHaul. Five stars, planning to hire again, would also like to formally apologize to his truck and Rex for what they had to witness.”
— Jennifer Shea

“Mason was great to work with and super responsive. He came over to quote me the day I called and had everything removed the next day. Would highly recommend.”

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.
