Ready to get rid of some garbage? If you’re in Louisville, you know you have a few options for having junk hauled away. Many people do wait for the city’s bulky trash day, but that only happens once a month. They also don’t take everything. A better option is to call Junk King of Louisville. Our team can often come out on the same day and pick up just about anything you may have.
What should you have Junk King haul away? You may not necessarily need us for a few bags of garbage, but there are many other items that we can handle. Here are some of the best items to have us pick up and haul away.
Old Furniture
If you’ve bought new furniture or have a chair that is on its last legs, it’s time to get rid of it. The problem is that furniture is often large, heavy, and awkwardly shaped. You may not be able to fit large pieces of furniture in an SUV or even a small pickup truck. If you don’t have someone with a larger truck to help you out, you might be stuck with that sofa or table until bulky trash day or until you find another alternative. Some furniture stores will take the old item when they deliver your new furniture, but that’s not always the case. They won’t take extra, either, and some charge.
Junk King will pick up sofas, chairs, tables, bookcases, desks, armoires, tool chests, sofa beds, and much more. It doesn’t matter how heavy or bulky the furniture is or what it’s made of. We will do our best to see that furniture that can still be used is donated to a charity or other organization that can use it. If the furniture is broken, we will break it down and recycle whatever components can be recycled. This includes metal springs, some fabrics, and untreated wood. We do our best to keep as much furniture out of the landfill as we possibly can.
Mattresses
Mattresses are another item that is often hard to get rid of. Again, they’re large and awkward to deal with, even if they’re not particularly heavy. Mattresses can be very difficult to donate or sell since people often do not want to sleep in a bed someone else has used. Mattresses can also carry bed bugs and other pests. Some landfills will even turn down mattresses due to the chemicals they contain.
Junk King has connections to mattress disposal locations in and around Louisville, so we know where to take your old mattress. We will do what we can to recycle the mattress, bedsprings, and even the bed frame if you need us to take that as well.
Old Appliances
Getting rid of old refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and other appliances can be a chore. Like old furniture, appliances can be heavy and bulky. It can be easy to scratch up the wall or your flooring while trying to get them out of your house. If you’re disposing of them yourself, you then have to try to get them up into your truck. If you’re leaving them at the curb for pickup, you have to make certain you’ve followed all safety requirements. For example, doors often need to be taped shut so children cannot get trapped in the appliance. You may also need to remove the refrigerant from old refrigerators, air conditioners, and freezers. This chemical can damage the soil and water, plus it can be dangerous to animals and children. Finding a professional to remove it for recycling, however, can be costly.
Junk King can take these appliances without any problems. We work closely with professional refrigerant experts who will remove the chemicals from the appliances before we take them in for recycling.
We take great care to remove these items from your home, too. You don’t need to haul them to the curb or do anything with them. Our team will come in, carefully maneuver them out of your home without damaging your floors or walls, and then get them up into our truck. You don’t have to lift a finger!
Like we do with furniture, we will donate any appliances that are still working and safe to use. If they aren’t, we will work with recycling experts to remove what components can be recycled.
Hot Tubs
While you may be able to get rid of an old appliance via the city pickup or your own vehicle, getting rid of an old hot tub is more difficult. Due to their size, many places won’t pick them up or even allow you to dump them. Before you can even be ready to dump the hot tub, you have to break it down. That can be a chore in and of itself. Few charities and other organizations want a donated hot tub, and if it’s broken, it can be even more difficult to get rid of.
Junk King will come to your home and break down your old hot tub for you. You don’t even need to move it. We will bring enough people to remove the hot tub and get it to our truck, regardless of how large it is. We also understand how to tell if a hot tub meets the requirements for recycling and where we can take it if it cannot be recycled or put in the landfill. You can leave everything to us.
Televisions and Other Electronics
Many people don’t know what to do with their old electronics and televisions. You might be hesitant to put that old cell phone, computer monitor, or other items in your trash bin, and with good reason: most electronic waste is banned from city garbage. That’s because these items often contain batteries and other materials that can damage the environment. They also contain a large amount of metals such as copper and gold that can be recycled.
If the TV or electronic item still works, you may be able to sell it or return it to the manufacturer if they offer a buy-back or trade-in program. You can also donate it. However, these options too often rely on you being able to physically take the item elsewhere. If you don’t have a vehicle or have a very large item such as an old big screen TV, that may not be an option.
Junk King is a pro at knowing how to dispose of old electronic wastes. We take everything from old cell phones to those giant televisions. If the item works, we will check with local charities to see if it’s something they want. If it’s not, we will take it to an electronics waste recycling company. They will strip out all of the components that can be reused, giving these old electronics new life.
Yard Waste
Another of the best items for junk pickup is actually not a single item at all—it’s yard waste. You may do a lot of landscaping and yard maintenance only to realize you don’t have any real way of getting rid of all of the limbs you just trimmed, bushes you’ve shaped, or even that old fence you just pulled down. You don’t want this debris sitting in a pile in your yard for very long. It will attract pests, plus it’s a hazard for children and pets. If it rains, it can all become a soggy mess that becomes an inviting home for mold and other growth.
We will pick up limbs, bagged grass clippings, removed bushes, torn down fences, disassembled sheds, and much more. You don’t need to move this debris anywhere or pile it up, though doing so does mean we can get in and out faster. Our yard debris pick up can save you a lot of time, and we work with more than just homeowners, too. We will come pick up yard debris at apartment complexes, rental properties, and houses that are going up for sale. We also do commercial pickup, so let us take care of any debris and garbage you have at your business.

Construction and DIY Project Waste
Have you done a remodel project recently? If so, you likely have a lot of debris that you need to get rid of. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to get rid of this type of trash. You can’t exactly put large bags full of old flooring in your trash bin. There is also some contractor debris that the city will not pick up.
Junk King will take just about everything from these DIY projects. We will pick up old cabinets, bathtubs, shower enclosures, flooring, and much more. We also offer dumpsters to rent if you would rather throw away this debris as you go instead of piling it up somewhere for us to pick up after you’re done.
