Our crews carry furniture, appliances, and household junk out of homes and businesses across the metro. Minnesota law keeps major appliances out of the trash, so they need a recycler rather than a landfill.

Why City Pickup Leaves Junk Behind in Minneapolis and Saint Paul
City trash programs take some bulky items, but each city sets tight limits and different rules. A full cleanout rarely fits inside them.
Minneapolis Large Item Collection
Minneapolis collects up to two large items a week with City garbage service. You set each item out by 6 a.m. with a note reading For Solid Waste, and items with recyclable parts go out on your recycling day. At that pace, a basement full of old furniture can take months to clear.
Saint Paul Bulky Item Limits
Saint Paul allows 12 bulky items per garbage cart each year and bills $30 plus tax for every item after that. Each piece of a sectional counts as its own bulky item, and a sleeper couch counts as two. The program serves homes with one to four units and properties that opt into city garbage service. It does not accept construction debris, drywall, or treated wood.
Minnesota Appliance Disposal Law
Minnesota bans major appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dehumidifiers, and water heaters from mixed trash. State law requires them to be recycled, a process that covers refrigerant gas, capacitors that may contain PCBs, and metals such as mercury.
Junk Removal in Twin Cities, MN, for Homes and Businesses
Each job starts with what needs to go and where it sits. Our junk removal services cover five kinds of work.
Furniture Removal
We haul couches, sectionals, recliners, sleeper sofas, dressers, tables, desks, bookshelves, and bed frames from inside your home.
Appliance Removal
We remove refrigerators, chest freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, and window air conditioners. Minnesota law requires each of these to be recycled rather than thrown away.
Household Junk Removal
We clear boxes, clutter, old toys, exercise equipment, and the pile that has grown in a spare room or attic. Point to what goes, and the crew loads it.
Garage and Basement Cleanouts
Garages and basements collect shelving, storage bins, old tools, and furniture that went downstairs years ago. We empty the space so you can use it again.
Move-In and Move-Out Cleanouts
We clear a home before it lists, empty it after the moving truck leaves, or remove what the last owner left behind when you take the keys. Items you plan to keep but cannot fit can go into our climate-controlled storage instead of the truck.
Junk removal joins the local moving, long-distance moving, and storage services Daymakers already offers, including our moving company in Bloomington, MN. We also remove junk for businesses.

What We Haul and What Belongs Elsewhere
Our crews haul the household and business items listed in the table below. Household hazardous waste follows a separate route through county drop-off sites.
| Items we haul | Household hazardous waste for a county site |
|---|---|
| Couches, sectionals, recliners, and bed frames | Paint, stains, and solvents |
| Dressers, tables, desks, and bookshelves | Motor oil, gasoline, and other fuels |
| Refrigerators, freezers, washers, and dryers | Propane tanks |
| Water heaters, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners | Pesticides and lawn chemicals |
| Exercise equipment, bikes, and toys | Car and household batteries |
| Boxes, bins, shelving, and general clutter | Fluorescent bulbs and other mercury items |
Hennepin County's drop-off facilities in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington accept household hazardous waste from residents of all seven metro counties. Saint Paul directs used oil, gas, and batteries to the Environmental Center at 1700 Kent Street in Roseville. Keep those items out of the junk pile before pickup day.
Older Homes, Narrow Stairs, and Items That Have to Come Apart
About 43% of Minneapolis homes went up before 1940, which gives the city some of the oldest housing in the country. Older houses in neighborhoods such as Longfellow, Northeast, and Mac-Groveland can have tighter stairwells and narrower doorways than newer construction.
A sleeper sofa that went down those stairs decades ago may not come back up whole. When a piece will not clear the stairwell, our crew takes it apart and carries it out in sections, which helps protect walls and trim.
Some items are built in place and have to come down before anyone can haul them. We quote that demolition work separately from the volume charge.
How Our Junk Removal Process Works
A typical job follows four steps.
- Send the details. Call or fill out the quote form with your address, the type of job, and where the items sit. Photos help us size the load.
- Review your quote. We price the job by volume and list any specialty item, disassembly, or demolition charges separately.
- Let the crew carry it out. Our crew lifts, carries, takes apart, and loads the items from inside the building.
- Haul it away. The crew drives the load away, so nothing waits at the curb.
How We Price Junk Removal
Our pricing starts with volume, meaning how much space your items take up in the truck. Three other factors can add to it.
| What sets the price | How it affects your quote |
|---|---|
| Volume | The main charge, based on the share of the truck your items fill |
| Specialty items | An added charge for items that need extra handling or a specific disposal route |
| Disassembly | Added when a piece has to be taken apart to leave the house |
| Demolition | Added when an item is built in place and has to come down before hauling |
Disposal costs also vary by item. Hennepin County's drop-off facilities, for example, charge a fee for appliances.
Ways to Lower Your Junk Removal Quote
Volume drives the price, so anything that leaves the pile before we arrive lowers it. A single couch can go out with Minneapolis large item collection or within your Saint Paul bulky allowance, and the rest of the load goes with us.

Junk Removal Questions From Twin Cities Customers
Homeowners, renters, and business owners on both sides of the river ask us these questions most often.
Why hire junk removal when Minneapolis picks up large items for free?
City crews take two large items a week, each tagged For Solid Waste by 6 a.m., and some items wait for your recycling day. A garage or basement cleanout can hold dozens of pieces, so the city route can stretch across months. Our crew handles the whole cleanout and carries everything out for you.
Can you clear an apartment in a Saint Paul building with five or more units?
Yes. Saint Paul's bulky item program covers homes with one to four units, so larger apartment buildings rely on their own hauler for bulky pickup. We carry items straight out of your unit. Ask your property manager about elevator reservations and truck parking, and share those details when you book. If you are moving out too, see our apartment moving services.
Do you take refrigerators and freezers?
Yes. State law requires refrigerators, freezers, and other major appliances to be recycled, so they cannot go to a landfill or into a garbage truck. List each appliance on the quote form so your quote covers it.
How is the price set for a garage or basement cleanout?
Volume sets most of the price, measured by how much of the truck the load fills. Specialty items, pieces that need disassembly, and anything built in place that needs demolition appear as separate charges. Photos of the space and a note about stairs help us quote it closely.
Do you handle downsizing cleanouts for older parents?
Yes. We clear furniture and household items a parent no longer needs, from the basement to the bedrooms. When the move itself is part of the plan, our senior moving services team can handle that side too, so you work with one company.
