First item from $79 · Additional items from $19 each

Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Your old appliances

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.

Cincinnati's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

Cincinnati's bulk item pickup requires scheduling through 311, with collection on your regular trash day or Fridays. The hard limit of 5 items per collection means larger cleanouts require multiple scheduling rounds. Setting out more than 5 items gets the property owner cited for illegal set-out. Rumpke runs the Sanitary Landfill in Hamilton County and a transfer station in Louisville — self-haul costs around $40 per load (per local estimates). Average junk removal costs $223–$245 in Cincinnati according to Homeyou data. Junk King Cincinnati offers on-demand junk removal with dumpster rentals for DIY projects. College Hunks Hauling Junk operates locally with volume-based pricing and free estimates. Junk Shot Cincinnati provides an online pricing estimator by load size. LoadUp starts at $79 per single bulky item. 1-800-GOT-JUNK requires in-person estimates at $150–$600+.
