Our Specialties

  • 💲Affordable JUNK Removal Without Compromise

    At Garbage Junkies, we deliver top-quality service at prices that fit any budget. Whether you're clearing out a single item or doing a full property cleanout, we offer cost-effective junk removal solutions designed to give you the best value for your money. Our one-time pickup pricing usually starts at just $99 — but for a limited time, you can get your minimum pickup for ONLY $58.99! That’s the equivalent of about 5 large garbage bags, 1 full 95-gallon garbage bin, or items of similar size. For bigger jobs, a full 15-yard load is just $699. To give you an idea, that's about 15 washing machines' worth of junk. With us, you get reliable service, fair pricing, and no hidden fees — just honest work done right.

  • 🙌 Hassle-Free GARBAGE Removal — Subscription & One-Time Options

    Keep your space clean year-round with our convenient subscription plans, starting at just $58.99. Perfect for both residential and commercial properties, our plans ensure your garbage is picked up reliably — perfect for the weeks the city skips. Need a one-time pickup instead? No problem. It's perfect for when you forgot to put out the garbage for the city, or for items that the city won't take. Our one-time garbage removal also starts at $58.99.

  • ♻️ Eco-Friendly Options at Top of Mind

    At Garbage Junkies, we’re committed to minimizing waste. Whenever possible, we prioritize donating and recycling items like furniture, electronics, and scrap metal. Our goal is to divert as much as we can from landfills, reducing our environmental impact and promoting a cleaner, greener community. Donations help families in need and we're big believers of helping our communities.

When you hire a fully insured and certified company like Garbage Junkies, you’re protected.

👋 About Us

Sam, the founder of Garbage Junkies, has been passionate about waste management and environmental responsibility from a young age. Even as a kid, he was meticulous about properly separating garbage, organics, and recyclables — a habit that quickly grew into a lifelong mission to reduce landfill waste and promote greener living. Over the years, that passion only deepened. Sam decided to turn his commitment into action by building a junk removal company that puts people and the planet first. He assembled a world-class customer service team and developed efficient, eco-conscious operations to serve the community with honesty, speed, and care. At Garbage Junkies, we pride ourselves on being eco-friendly, affordable, and reliable — all while delivering the courteous service you deserve.

What items do you not take?

At Garbage Junkies, we haul away almost anything — from household junk to commercial waste. However, for safety and environmental compliance, there are a few items we cannot accept, including: Hazardous materials (e.g. batteries, paint, chemicals, contaminated liquids, asbestos, biological or bio-hazardous waste, medical waste, sharps/syringes, explosives, ammunition). Flammable substances (e.g. gasoline, propane tanks). Special Handling Items: Empty paint cans (with lids removed & dry paint) are accepted. Tires (off-rim only) can be taken for an additional $25 per tire to cover disposal surcharges at the transfer station. At this time, we are not taking large appliances (we will take small appliances such as microwaves, BBQ's etc), heavy construction debris (ie. concrete/bricks) and soil.
