Jeremy's pickup and trailer loaded with old carpet on a tree-lined Salt Lake Valley street

What junk removal takes in Salt Lake City

Most of what piles up in a house, garage, or yard goes on Jeremy's truck. A few things don't, and they're listed further down, so you won't have to guess before you text.

Everything he takes gets priced the same way, and the pricing page walks through it. Send a photo of the pile to (801) 557-1063, say where it is, and you get one number for the whole job.

Furniture and household stuff

The bread and butter. Anything from a single couch to a whole house of it, carried out of any room and down any staircase; the furniture removal page has the details. If it's clean and still works, it goes to a donation center first.

  • Couches, sectionals, sleeper sofas, and recliners
  • Dressers, nightstands, bed frames, and headboards
  • Dining tables, chairs, hutches, and desks
  • Bookshelves, filing cabinets, and office furniture
  • Patio furniture, grills, planters, and bikes
  • Exercise equipment, treadmills, and ellipticals
  • Boxes, bags, and bins of general clutter
  • Rugs, carpet, and carpet pad, rolled up

Mattresses and box springs

Every size, from the bedroom to the truck. Mattresses and box springs carry a $40 upcharge each because they cost more to dispose of, and it's included in the price Jeremy texts back. Frames, bunk beds, and futons go with them as regular junk.

Appliances

Washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, water heaters, dehumidifiers, and window AC units. Refrigerators and freezers too, with a $25 upcharge each: the landfill handles anything with refrigerant separately, so they cost more to get rid of. Metal appliances go to a recycler, not into the ground. Anything hard-plumbed or on a gas line should be disconnected by a plumber or the installer first.

TVs and electronics

Flat-screens, tube TVs, projection sets, monitors, computers, printers, stereos, and game consoles. They ride with the rest of the load, and the TV and electronics page covers the heavy old sets.

Yard waste and outdoor junk

Branches, brush, leaves, dead shrubs, old fence panels and posts, broken patio furniture, and storm cleanup piles; see yard waste and debris removal. Loose is fine as long as it's in one spot. What's not fine: rock, gravel, dirt, sod, or anything else that needs a shovel. That's a different kind of truck.

Remodel and construction debris

Drywall, trim, doors, cabinets, countertops, vanities, flooring, tile, old windows, deck boards, and lumber. The pile from a weekend demo or a contractor's last day; see construction and remodel debris removal. Small amounts of broken concrete can sometimes ride along; ask when you send the photo. Dirt and rock never do.

Cardboard, packaging, and business junk

Flattened or not, a heap of cardboard is a normal load, and it gets recycled. Pallets, packaging, retail fixtures, shelving, and the office chairs nobody sits in anymore. Storefront and rental-unit cleanouts get one price for the whole space.

What Jeremy doesn't take

A short list, but a firm one.

  • Hot tubs. The one big item that stays put.
  • Rock, gravel, dirt, sod, and concrete by the yard. Anything that needs a shovel.
  • Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, gas cans, propane, car batteries, pesticides, and other hazardous waste.
  • Anything that needs a remediation or cleaning company before a hauler can start.

Hazardous waste: where it goes instead

Salt Lake County takes household hazardous waste from county residents at its collection center, 8805 South 700 West in Sandy. The Salt Lake Valley Landfill on California Avenue and the Trans-Jordan Landfill in South Jordan take it too.

Ask first

Some things depend on the size, the day, or what's inside them. Send a photo and Jeremy will tell you straight.

  • Tires
  • Pianos, pool tables, and safes
  • Trampolines, swing sets, and play structures, taken apart or not
  • Carpet with the tack strips still attached
  • Broken concrete: a few chunks sometimes, never a whole patio

Where it all ends up

Usable furniture and household goods go to a donation center first. Metal, appliances, and cardboard go to recycling. Only what's actually trash goes to the transfer station. It's more work than tossing everything in one pile, and it's how Jeremy does every job.

How it works

One text and it's handled.

Jeremy reads his own messages and gets right back to you. Text a photo, or send the same details through the form.

01

Text a photo

Snap the pile, the couch, the garage, whatever needs to go. Send it to (801) 557-1063.

02

Get a price back

A real number for the whole job, not an estimate that changes once it's loaded.

03

Jeremy shows up

He does the carrying. It doesn't have to be at the curb, but if the pile can wait there or in the driveway, it's quicker and cheaper. The truck leaves full and the space is yours.

“I had a lot of garbage I needed to get rid of quickly and Jeremy was able to fit me in the schedule the next day. He was quick and efficient and also swept my garage after hauling away all the junk. I am satisfied and would use his service again. Price was also very reasonable”

Questions

Questions people ask.

Do you take hot tubs?
No. Hot tubs are the one big item Jeremy doesn't haul.
Do you take rock, gravel, dirt, or sod?
No. Anything that needs a shovel needs a different kind of truck. Branches, boards, bags, and loose yard junk are fine.
Do you take paint, chemicals, or propane?
Paint, chemicals, and other hazardous waste have to go through Salt Lake County's household hazardous waste program instead. Ask about anything you're not sure of when you send the photo.
Do you take mattresses and fridges?
Yes, both. A mattress or box spring adds $40 and a fridge or freezer adds $25, because they cost more to dispose of, and it's included in the price Jeremy texts back. How pricing works.
Do you take TVs and electronics?
Yes. Old TVs, monitors, and electronics go on the truck with everything else.
Where does my stuff actually go?
Usable furniture and household goods go to a donation center first. Metal, cardboard, and appliances get recycled. Only what's actually trash goes to the transfer station.
