Myjunk Service

(19 reviews)

About this business

Around Wilmington, you run into a lot of “junk guys.” Some show up late, some change the number halfway through, some act like moving one armchair is a whole production. Myjunk Service doesn’t sound like that crew. The reviews read like the kind of word-of-mouth you actually hear at job sites and family cookouts: **very good workers**, **hard workers**, **very punctual**, **friendly**, **kind**, **no drama**. People ...

Complete Property Services and Junk Removal

10out of 10

(19 reviews)

About this business

Complete Property Services and Junk Removal (CPS) is one of those outfits around here that doesn’t stay in a neat little box. People call for a basement clean out or attic clean-out, and Russ and the crew end up handling the “while you’re here…” list too—demo work, mold removal services, hauling the shed junk, even patching up the small stuff you didn’t realize was going to bite you later. And that’s consistent ...

What customers say

“They are awesome, called for a last second clean out in the basement and they went above and beyond. Highly recommend”
— Andre Martins

“I've been an interior designer and project manager, and have a lot of experience on job sites, and I highly recommend Complete Property Services. I hired them over the winter to do a whole-house clean-out and mold remediation on a huge restoration project of my own. Russ explained his remediation process to me very clearly and laid out a plan for preventing mold in the future. Russ and his guys worked quickly, and I was blown away by how they kept the worksite clean. So much in fact, that I asked him to quote several other projects around my house, including demo work and grinding the basement floors down. The basement was full of junk, including oil cans and paint, and would occasionally flood, and the floors were disgusting. I couldn't believe how nice they came out; they look like they were just poured! Once the weather warmed up and the snow started melting, we noticed A LOT of water coming in through the foundation. The guys started removing water and setting up fans immediately to prevent mold issues. They diligently investigated the water entry, soil and other factors to come up with a plan and are now installing a perimeter drain, waterproofing the exterior of the foundation, and sealing the cracks on the interior. Once again, I'm super impressed with how they maintain the site as they work and communicate clearly. I also want to praise them for their holistic approach to these projects. They don't just offer quick fixes that could potentially lead to other issues down the road, but take the time to think about the best path forward, which I really appreciate. I just hired them to install overhangs, a new roof, and to replace a concrete patio. I can't recommend CPS enough.”

About this business

Peace of Mind Services is one of those North Shore outfits where you can tell pretty quick it’s owner-led and actually organized. Matt runs point, and that matters in junk removal—because the difference between “we’ll be there sometime” and **on time** (or at least honest about timing) is basically the whole job. People keep coming back to the same stuff: **quick to respond** on a quote inquiry, **easy to ...

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.
