Memphis is the largest city on the Mississippi River and the hub of Shelby County, and junk removal here ranges from single-item pickups in Midtown and Downtown apartments to full estate and foreclosure cleanouts in East Memphis, Whitehaven, Frayser and Raleigh. Local crews also cover the suburbs - Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, Arlington and Millington - and many jobs come in from Southaven, Olive Branch and Horn Lake just across the Mississippi state line.
Typical Memphis jobs include furniture and mattress removal, appliance hauls, garage, attic and basement cleanouts, rental-property turnovers, office and warehouse cleanouts downtown and along the Lamar corridor, yard waste and storm debris after spring and summer thunderstorms, and hot tub or shed teardowns. Construction and renovation debris from remodels in older Midtown and Cooper-Young homes is another steady category.
Pricing is based on how much truck space your items take up, with extra fees for heavy materials, tires, mattresses and refrigerant appliances. Because Memphis is a competitive metro, it pays to get two or three quotes - and booking a day or two ahead usually gets you a better time slot than a last-minute weekend call.
Memphis currently has one hauler listed, plus crews from nearby cities that cover this area.

Before you book, confirm three things: the company is licensed and insured, the quote is all-in (labor, hauling and dump fees), and the crew knows about access issues like stairs, gated communities, or tight Downtown and Midtown alleys.
Most Memphis jobs land between roughly $120 and $550. A single-item pickup such as a couch, mattress or appliance sits at the low end, a quarter to half truck of garage or household junk falls mid-range, and full estate, foreclosure or office cleanouts reach the top. Quotes are based on truck space plus special-handling items like tires, mattresses and refrigerant appliances.
Often yes. Memphis is a large, competitive market, so many crews keep same-day and next-day slots open - calling in the morning gives you the best chance. Weekends and the end of the month fill first with move-out and rental-turnover jobs.
Most do. Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, Arlington and Millington are standard coverage, and many companies also serve Southaven, Olive Branch and Horn Lake, MS. Mention your ZIP and cross streets when you call so the crew can confirm coverage and whether a travel fee applies.
Household hazardous waste - paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste - has to go to a designated household hazardous waste drop-off instead. Tires, mattresses, electronics and refrigerant appliances are usually accepted but charged as extra items.
City of Memphis Solid Waste offers outside-the-cart collection of extra bags and bulky items for residents on the regular collection day, within set limits. That works for a few items, but a private hauler is the better call for a full room, an estate cleanout, or anything you need gone on your own schedule.
Usually not, as long as the items are accessible and you have confirmed the scope and price in writing. Many Memphis rental and estate cleanouts are handled with photos, a lockbox or gate code and a phone confirmation.
The best Memphis haulers keep usable goods out of the landfill. Gently used furniture, appliances and household items are commonly routed to donation outlets like the Habitat for Humanity of Memphis & Shelby County ReStore, Goodwill and local thrift organizations, and scrap metal and clean yard waste go to recyclers instead of the dump.
When you get quotes, ask what happens to your items. Companies that donate and recycle first typically divert a meaningful share of every load - and that is better for Memphis neighborhoods and the Shelby County landfills alike.
