Greenville Cleanouts & Junk

What customers say

“I'm so glad I called Greenville Cleanouts & Junk to remove some old cabinets and granite slabs! I'd been procrastinating re: getting rid of some cabinets as I had wanted to repurpose them, but with Delmarva needing to get into my basement, the time had come to part. Not wanting to move them myself and schedule a pickup time with the city of Wilmington, I called, and the same day John and Juan came and removed them almost as if they and the materials had never been there. Very personable, and I highly recommend them especially for people like myself looking for such services within the Wilmington city limits.”
— D.H. Currie

“Greenville Cleanouts & Junk is absolutely incredible! The work they did for us was fantastic. John updated us every step of the way and there were no surprise costs. They truly are a trustworthy company. We are so glad we found them and we will definitely use their services in the future. We cannot thank them enough for their help!!”

“Konnor and Joe out of Greenville were amazing. Both gentleman were extremely professional and kind. They went out of their way to explain the process and costs and completed the job efficiently and quicker than expected. Great service and company.”
— Cheri C

“Teddy and his co worker (completely forgot his name, sorry!) were extremely nice and very professional. Enjoyed having some time talking with them and getting to know them well, so 5 stars for the customer service. Genuinely great working-men. The only thing I could not get over was the quoted price was just too high at this current moment in time to justify it having all of it done. They did however took 2-3 bigger pieces for me at least and I was pretty happy with that alone. Would definitely use them again for these smaller loads.”

“2 Men and a Junk Truck did a fantastic job! They hauled away all the debris from my DIY bathroom remodel for a very reasonable price. Even better, they were honest in their communication, not trying to "up bid" me regarding my load size. The 2 men that came out were curteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I got a number of bins and they were all within USD 5 of each other. I went with 2 Men and a Junk Truck because of their professionalism. You won't be sorry!”

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.
