Junk Removal across Rock County and south-central Wisconsin
Junk removal is the other half of what we do. Instead of dropping a container and coming back in a week, a crew arrives, loads what you point at, sweeps up and leaves. It suits the jobs where the problem is labor rather than volume: a garage of heavy furniture, a rental the tenant walked away from, an office full of desks, an estate where the family lives out of state.
It matters more here than in some places, because Janesville has no curbside bulky pickup at all — a couch or a fridge is a trip to the landfill or nothing — and Beloit charges $20 an item, pre-paid and pre-scheduled. The rule of thumb we use on the phone: if it is a couple of pickup loads and you want it gone today, call the crew. If it is a whole house or anything that will take you more than a day to sort, a container on the driveway is cheaper because you are paying for the box, not the hours. We run both.
At a glance
What you get with junk removal
- A crew that loads, hauls and sweeps up
- A price for the whole pile before the work starts
- Furniture, appliances, mattresses, boxes, yard junk and office fixtures

- Appliances, metal and clean fill routed to the landfill's recycling areas and the Clean Fill yard
- Container on the driveway instead if the job turns out bigger
Cleanouts, turnovers and the one-off pile
Estate and move-out cleanouts are the biggest category: the furniture nobody wants, the appliances, the garage full of boxes. Rental turnovers are next — landlords and property managers with a unit to empty before the next tenant, which in Whitewater means every August. Then the one-off pile: the hot tub, the sectional, the old swing set, the deck boards.
For businesses it is office strip-outs — desks, chairs, filing cabinets — and retail fixture removal. Anything that would otherwise sit by the curb waiting for a bulk day that, in Janesville, never comes.
Junk removal or a dumpster — which is cheaper?
A rough rule: if the job is a couple of pickup loads and you want it gone today, call the crew. If it is a whole house, a renovation or anything that will take you more than a day to sort, a container on the driveway is cheaper because you are paying for the box, not the hours. We will say which on the phone — we rent both.

Junk removal — the local specifics
Janesville collects household carts but publishes no bulky-item pickup; furniture and appliances go to the landfill on Black Bridge Road, where fridges, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers cost $15 each and washers, dryers and stoves are free. Beloit takes bulky items only pre-paid and pre-scheduled at $20 apiece, with a $125 fee if they go to the curb early. Milton, Edgerton, Clinton and Footville get one bulk day a month through their contractors. Junk removal is for the pile that cannot wait for bulk day or will not fit it. Electronics are banned from Wisconsin landfills — Milton takes them free at Public Works, Edgerton runs e-waste days at the City Garage.

Answers
Junk Removal — your questions answered
How is junk removal priced?
By the volume on the truck, quoted before the crew starts. Send a photo of the pile and we will give you a number on the phone.
Do I need to be there?
For the first visit, yes — someone needs to point at what goes and what stays. After that, a gate code and a phone number usually do it.
Can you take appliances?
Yes. They are banned from the landfill itself, so fridges, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers go to the recycling area at $15 each and the rest go free; we handle the drop and tell you the fee up front.
Do you take yard waste?
Fence panels, limbs and bagged debris, yes — kept separate, because yard waste is banned from Wisconsin landfills and goes to the compost side of the Black Bridge Road site. A whole lot of brush is usually a container job.
How fast can a crew come?
Often the same day in Janesville, Beloit and the Rock County towns if you call early; next day further out.
