What We Haul

Four jobs. What separates them is not what goes in the truck — it is what the disposal end does with it afterwards, and that is where the cost differences come from.

A sofa goes to a transfer station and is billed by weight. A mattress gets surcharged there because it springs back and jams compactors. A refrigerator cannot be scrapped at all until a certified technician recovers the refrigerant. A whole-property cleanout is all three at once plus a skip.

• Junk Removal

  Volume-priced household junk hauling for the loads Kansas City's free curbside program will not take, will not carry, or cannot schedule fast enough.

• Mattress Disposal

  Mattress and box spring removal for the beds you cannot carry to the curb, cannot fit in a car, and cannot leave at a transfer station without a surcharge.

• Appliances & Furniture

  Removal of refrigerators, freezers, washers, ranges, water heaters, sofas and case goods, including the refrigerant recovery that fridges and AC units legally require.

• Cleanouts

  Whole-property, estate, garage and basement cleanouts priced by truckload rather than by item, for the volumes a 15-item curbside program cannot absorb.

Estate, Garage and Basement Cleanouts in Kansas City

Whole-property, estate, garage and basement cleanouts priced by truckload rather than by item, for the volumes a 15-item curbside program cannot absorb.

Can I use the city's free pickup for a cleanout? Not realistically. Kansas City, MO caps Bulky Item Pickup at 15 items per appointment, collects from the curb only, and assigns you a date. A packed two-car garage runs into the hundreds of items and nobody carries them all to the street by 7 a.m.

Which one is yours?

• A handful of household items — start with your city. Several run free collection and you may need nobody.
• One awkward object — a mattress, a fridge, a hot tub. The problem is the disposal route, not the volume.
• A room or a garage — volume job. Say what floor it is on when you call; that is what moves the number.
• A whole property — cleanout. Priced by the truckload and usually more than one.
