Junk removal in the East North Central states

Michigan and Wisconsin each set terms before yard waste or old tires reach a landfill. Michigan says grass, leaves, sticks and trimmings should be composted. Only clippings that are diseased, infested or part of an invasive species control program can be landfilled. Its landfills may take a tire once it's cut in half, shredded or chipped. Wisconsin bans landfilling waste tires and yard waste, including brush under six inches across. Either may be burned with energy recovery instead, and yard waste can go to an approved compost site.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on how much there is, but a hauler who sees it in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much of a truck your stuff fills — a few items cost far less than a full truckload. Heavy or special items like appliances and mattresses add a disposal fee.
Do you handle big or heavy items?
Most haulers do — appliances, furniture, mattresses, construction debris. Let us know in the quick questions so the ballpark includes the disposal fees.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot that shows the whole pile, or the full room, gives the best read on how much there is.
