Junk hauling and pickup in Salt Lake City

Junk hauling, or residential junk removal, is the simplest version of what Jeremy does. You show him the pile, he gives you one number for the whole thing, and he carries it out of wherever it sits. Garage, basement, backyard, upstairs bedroom, storage unit. Nothing has to be dragged to the curb first, though if the pile can sit there or in the driveway, the load goes quicker and the price comes down.

Most jobs across the Salt Lake Valley get priced from a single text. Send a photo of what needs to go to (801) 557-1063, mention roughly where it is and whether there are stairs, and you'll get a real price back. Not a range that grows once the truck is loaded. The price you agree to is the price you pay.

Everything gets sorted on the way out.

What goes on the truck

• Furniture, mattresses, and box springs
• Appliances, electronics, and old TVs
• Boxes, bags, and general household clutter
• Garage, basement, and shed contents
• Patio furniture, grills, and bikes
• Exercise equipment and office furniture

Text a photo of your pile to (801) 557-1063.

The full list of what goes on the truck, and what doesn't.

What the truck holds, and what stays behind

Jeremy runs a silver Nissan Frontier with a wood-sided utility trailer behind it, so a normal job is one trip: a couch and a couple of chairs, a garage wall of boxes, the leftovers from a move, a dead treadmill, a patio set that didn't survive the winter. Bigger cleanouts become a truck-and-trailer load or a second trip, and that's built into the number you get up front.

A few things he doesn't take, and he'd rather tell you now than at the door. No hot tubs, and no rock, gravel, dirt, sod, or anything else that needs a shovel. Paint, chemicals, and other hazardous waste stay off the truck too, though Salt Lake County takes those from residents at its Sandy drop-off and at the Salt Lake Valley and Trans-Jordan landfills. Everything else in a normal house, garage, or yard is fair game.

Residential junk removal: text first, then the day

Text first. A photo of the pile, a sentence about where it is, and whether there are stairs or a tight gate. Jeremy looks at it and texts back one price for the whole job. If it works for you, pick a time. He's open 24/7, so early mornings before work and evenings after are both normal.

On the day, he shows up when he said he would, which his Google reviews keep mentioning. He does the carrying. You point, he loads, and the truck leaves full. You don't need to be home if the stuff is reachable and the price is already set; plenty of pickups happen from a garage or porch while the customer is at work.

Where it ends up in the Salt Lake Valley

The good stuff doesn't go to the landfill. Usable furniture and household goods get dropped at a donation center. Metal, appliances, and cardboard are recycled where they can be.

What's actually trash goes to the landfill. Mattresses and box springs carry a $40 upcharge each on Jeremy's price, and fridges and freezers $25 each. The only other add-on is $25 for a flight of stairs.

How to make the job cheaper

Price tracks how much room your stuff takes in the truck, so anything that shrinks the pile shrinks the number. Break down boxes. Stack loose stuff in one spot instead of three rooms. Pull the keepers out before he arrives so nothing gets sorted on the clock. If the pile is in the garage or by a gate instead of up two flights, say so in the text; easy access helps.

Mention everything in the first text, including the stuff in the shed you almost forgot. The price is based on what's in the photo, so if the photo shows it all, it won't change on the day.

How the price works

Text a photo of what needs to go to (801) 557-1063. Jeremy looks at how much room it takes on the truck and texts back one number for the whole job. No hourly rate, and the number doesn't change once it's loaded. Jobs start at $100. The only add-ons: mattress or box spring +$40, fridge or freezer +$25, stairs +$25. He tells you before he starts.
