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.

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

Milwaukee residents can set out up to 1 cubic yard of bulky items (about the size of a recliner) on regular garbage day — no appointment needed. For larger amounts, call DPW 24 hours in advance. Electronics, appliances, and tires aren't accepted curbside — they must go to a city Drop Off Center, which is free for standard passenger car loads but charges $20 for oversize loads (truck/SUV-sized or car loads exceeding 1 cubic yard, such as mattresses strapped to the roof). Project Clean & Green collects up to 6 cubic yards per property but rotates through zones once per year — miss your week and you're out of luck until next year. Camo Crew Junk Removal is a veteran-owned local service with an 80% landfill diversion rate. LoadUp charges $79 for a single bulky item plus $15 per additional item. Junk King Milwaukee starts at $149 with free on-site estimates. 1-800-GOT-JUNK requires on-site estimates, typically $150-$600+. Average private junk removal in Milwaukee costs $150-$350 per job.
