Residential Junk Removal in Minneapolis, MN

The owner of Junk King Minneapolis, Ed Fogarty, gets a huge amount of satisfaction from enabling homeowners to declutter their homes and shore up more space: “It’s really an enjoyable thing to do. You get to see the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the suburbs even more beautiful with environmentally conscious residential junk removal.” Ed and his crew recycle or donate 60% of every residential junk haul.

Junk King Minneapolis takes a huge variety of residential junk, including but not limited to: furniture, appliances, electronic waste, yard waste, and construction or remodeling debris.

Whether you have recently purchased new furniture, you’re simply downsizing, or you’re in the process of moving and need to get rid of old furniture, Junk King is here to lend a hand. The crew at Junk King Minneapolis is incredibly experienced, professional, and courteous … and everyone at Junk King is insured so that you can have ultimate peace of mind.

Junk King now has trucks that are 20% larger, which means that each stop that Junk King makes can be much more efficient, with greater cost savings for customers. Below is a list of examples of furniture items that Junk King will haul away and responsibly recycle or donate:

• Couches
• Sofas
• Sofa beds
• Credenzas
• Mattresses
• Chairs
• Desks
• Tables
• Bookcases
• Armoires
• And more!

Some of these items can contain materials that are not good for the environment (e.g., mattresses may contain VOCs) or either cannot or should not be allowed to waste away in landfills. Another snag that homeowners may experience is that these items are frequently not accepted by regular municipal trash. Fortunately, Junk King takes them all!

Larger residential appliances, such as water heaters and refrigerators, can weigh hundreds of pounds. This is where Junk King is an especially valuable resource for homeowners. Junk King has a 9.8/10 online rating based on over 60,000 reviews, so most people who use the service are extremely pleased they did so.

A professional junk removal service is clearly the right choice for thousands of homeowners in the Twin Cities. Assuming homeowners could somehow get an appliance that weighs hundreds of pounds safely out of their home without doing damage, there’s still the matter of ensuring that the landfill will take it and somehow getting it there. That might require a special vehicle, rental fees, and possibly working with local recyclers if you wanted to ensure your disposal didn’t harm the environment.

Junk King Minneapolis already has the resources to haul away large appliances and partnerships with local metal recyclers to ensure that, for example, scrap metals are responsibly dealt with. Junk King’s trucks can easily handle and haul away the following residential appliances:

• Through-wall air conditioners
• In-window air conditioners
• Microwaves
• Water heaters
• Stoves
• Ovens
• Refrigerators
• Large freezers
• Washing machines
• Dryers
• And much more!

Appliances can have a life expectancy of only five or ten years with medium to heavy use. You can count on Junk King Minneapolis to haul away these appliances when they fail or need upgrading to more energy-efficient alternatives. The aluminum, steel, vinyl and other materials that these appliances are composed of can frequently be recycled by Junk King as well.

Like recycling batteries, recycling electronics can prove a head-scratcher if you’ve never done it before. Junk King accepts and does its best to responsibly recycle electronic waste, such as:

• Computers
• Monitors
• Televisions
• Printers
• DVD players
• Shredders
• Video game consoles
• Other e-waste!

Electronic waste is usually generated from electronics that have reached the end of their useful life. Although cell phones, for instance, are replaced every few years on average, they contain a lot of precious and semi-precious metals that can be recovered if recycled properly. A million cell phones contain over 17 tons of copper, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium.

“We have the ability to donate or repurpose items that are still functional, and recycle or responsibly dispose of everything else,” explains the owner of Junk King Minneapolis, Ed Fogarty.

Yard waste can include everything from grass clippings to a hot tub. Fortunately, Junk King can help homeowners get rid of both kinds of yard waste, the ‘organic’ kind of yard waste such as grass clippings and the ‘inorganic’ kind of yard waste such as fencing and hot tubs. Below are examples of each type of yard waste.

‘Organic’ or biological yard waste can typically be composted, and can include items like:

• Grass clippings
• Shrubs
• Bushes
• Wood chips
• Branches
• Firewood
• Lumber
• Sod
• Soil
• And much more!

Junk King Minneapolis will take just about every imaginable type of residential junk, except for hazardous waste. This includes things like:

• Shingles
• Corrugated iron
• Frames
• Plasterboards
• Windows
• Fencing
• Sheds
• Yard art
• Hot tubs
• And more!
