What Items Are Removed by Junk Removal Companies? A Guide for Maryland Homeowners
If you’re a homeowner in Maryland, chances are you’ve faced the question: “What do I do with all this junk?” Whether it’s during a move, a major renovation, a seasonal clean-out, or just an effort to reclaim your garage or basement, clutter can accumulate quickly. That’s where professional junk removal services come in. At Michael’s Junk Removal and Light Hauling, we help homeowners throughout Maryland safely, responsibly, and efficiently clear out unwanted items. But what exactly do we remove?
Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly removed items—and how our team makes the process stress-free.
- Old Furniture
One of the most common calls we get is from homeowners looking to get rid of old, broken, or outdated furniture. Couches, mattresses, recliners, dining sets, entertainment centers—you name it. These bulky items often won’t fit in a standard vehicle and can’t simply be left on the curb. Our crew does the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
Maryland homeowners tip: If you’re upgrading your living room or making room for new pieces, schedule a pickup in advance so the old furniture is out before the new arrives.
- Appliances
Outdated or broken appliances are another major source of junk. Refrigerators, washers and dryers, ovens, dishwashers, and even microwaves take up valuable space and often require special handling. We take care of hauling and disposal, and when possible, we recycle or donate items still in working condition.
Environmentally responsible removal is a priority—we follow all Maryland regulations when disposing of appliances containing refrigerants or hazardous materials.
- Electronics (E-Waste)
Old TVs, computers, monitors, and printers clutter up basements, attics, and offices. Because of the materials they contain, electronics can’t be tossed in the trash. We partner with local recycling centers to ensure your e-waste is properly disposed of.
Tip: Gather all small electronics, cords, and accessories before your appointment to make the most of your pickup.
- Yard Waste and Outdoor Debris
Yard cleanups often produce more waste than you expect—branches, leaves, storm debris, old fencing, playsets, and even sheds. We help homeowners tackle these outdoor projects by hauling away green waste and other non-hazardous materials, leaving your yard clean and ready for landscaping or entertaining.
Bonus: We also remove old grills, patio furniture, and lawn equipment.
- Construction Debris
Renovations and DIY projects are exciting, but they leave behind a mess. Drywall, wood scraps, tile, carpet, and insulation are common byproducts that most regular trash services won’t accept. Our junk removal team will load it up and take it away, so you can enjoy your updated space.
For larger remodeling jobs, we offer light hauling services that complement contractor work and make the cleanup easier.
- Attic, Basement & Garage Clutter
These areas are notorious catch-alls for items you don’t use but haven’t gotten around to throwing out. Boxes of old clothes, holiday decorations, kids’ toys, books, and more can quickly overrun your storage spaces. We help homeowners sort, remove, and clear out these forgotten corners of the home.
Planning to host family or sell your home? A thorough garage or basement clean-out makes a big impact.
- Hot Tubs and Large Specialty Items
Getting rid of a hot tub, above-ground pool, or exercise equipment isn’t easy—but it’s not impossible. Our experienced crew knows how to safely disassemble and remove oversized items that take up valuable space in your backyard or basement.
