Junk Removal Questions, Answered

Pricing is by volume — the share of the truck your items fill — plus special handling for extra-heavy material like concrete. You get a firm all-inclusive quote on-site before any work starts, covering labor, hauling, disposal fees, and cleanup. Single items cost less than multi-room cleanouts; curbside items cost less than full-service interior removal.

If your item qualifies and you can wait for your area's schedule and get it to the curb, municipal bulk pickup is a fine free option. People call us when items are too heavy to move alone, when the pile exceeds bulk-waste limits, when HOAs frown on curb piles, or when it needs to be gone today rather than on collection day. Many Katy addresses in unincorporated county areas also have different or limited bulk pickup depending on their waste contract.

Hazardous materials: liquid paint, solvents, chemicals, fuels, oils, asbestos, tires with rims in bulk, and medical waste. Harris County and Fort Bend County household hazardous waste programs handle those. Dried-out paint cans, drained equipment, and empty containers are fine.

In order: usable furniture and goods to local donation and resale organizations; metals and appliances to recyclers; clean wood and cardboard to recycling where facilities accept them; the remainder to licensed disposal facilities. Donation-first isn't a slogan — it lowers disposal costs, which keeps quotes down.
