How Rodeo Junk Removal Works
Getting rid of junk shouldn’t turn into a project. Our job is to make it easy, predictable, and done right — from the first text message to the final sweep-up.
Want to see everything we haul? Visit our Junk Removal Services page.
Step 1 — Reach Out (Call, Text, or Form)
Send us a quick message with:
- What you want removed (examples: furniture, appliances, garage clutter, construction debris, mixed household junk)
- Where it’s located (inside, garage, attic, shed, barn, curb, etc.)
- Any access notes (stairs, long carry, tight hallways, gated entry)
If you’re not sure what to call something, that’s fine — just send a photo and a short description.

Step 2 — On-Site Estimate (Upfront, All-In Pricing)
We prefer to price jobs in person so you get a real number — not a guess. We’ll walk the items with you, confirm what stays, and give you an all-in price before we touch anything.
Your quote typically includes:
- Labor & loading
- Hauling & transport
- Disposal fees (when applicable)
- Responsible sorting (donation/recycling when possible)
We’ll explain the price in plain language so it makes sense.
Learn more about our honest, upfront approach on the About Us page.
What Affects the Price?
Most junk removal pricing comes down to “how much space it takes” plus the difficulty of removal. Here are the biggest factors:
- Volume: how full the truck will be (or whether it takes more than one load)
- Weight: dense materials (construction debris, old flooring, etc.)
- Labor & access: stairs, distance to the truck, tight turns, disassembly
- Special handling: certain appliances or items that require extra steps
- Time & complexity: large cleanouts vs a simple pickup
We’ll walk you through the pricing clearly—no confusing jargon.

Step 3 — You Approve It, We Start
Once you approve the quote, our crew gets to work right away whenever possible.
How we work (so nothing gets taken by mistake):
- We identify the “keep” items first (items you don’t want us to take)
- We clear in an organized order (usually easiest access → deeper areas)
- We load efficiently to keep your cost down when possible
- We communicate if we run into anything unexpected
If your job is mainly a cleanout, see Garage, Attic & Shed Cleanouts.

Step 4 — Donation, Recycling & Proper Disposal
Whenever items are still in good, usable condition, we prioritize donation. We separate your load into donate, recycle, and dispose so as much as possible stays out of the landfill.
The only time something can’t be donated is when it’s not usable or a donation center won’t accept it (rules vary by location and item type). In those cases, we recycle what we can and properly dispose of the rest.
And just to be clear: we don’t do illegal dumping. Ever.

Step 5 — Final Sweep & Walk-Through
After loading, we do a quick clean-up of the work areas (loose debris, small pieces, dirt we tracked in). Then we’ll do a final walk-through with you so you can see the space before we leave.
Common Questions
Do I need to move items outside first?
No. If it’s inside, we’ll remove it from inside. If you want to stage items in one spot, that can help speed things up — but it’s not required.
How fast can you come out?
In most situations, we can come out the same day or next day. Photos can help us plan and schedule faster, but they’re not required—a quick description is just fine.
Do you take appliances and furniture?
Yes — couches, mattresses, dressers, fridges, washers/dryers, and more. If you’re unsure about an item, ask.
What if I have a mixed load (junk + furniture + debris)?
That’s very common. Mixed loads are one of the main reasons people call us — one trip, one crew, one price.
What if it’s a sensitive or big cleanout?
If the situation feels overwhelming — years of buildup, a major life transition, or an estate cleanout after a loss — you’re not alone. We handle these jobs with a calm, respectful, judgment-free approach. We’ll walk through what needs to go, confirm what stays, and create a clear plan so the process feels manageable.
If you’d like, we can work by priority (safe walkways first, key rooms first, then the rest) and keep communication simple and private.
For heavier situations, see Hoarder & Estate Cleanouts:
Do you do demolition or shed tear-down?
Yes — we offer light demolition, including tearing down and hauling off small structures like sheds and similar build-outs. We break it down safely, load everything up, and remove the debris so you’re left with a clean space.
If you’re not sure whether your project counts as “light” demolition, just describe it (or send photos if you want) and we’ll tell you what’s realistic and how we’d approach it.

Do I have to be home
For most jobs, yes — at least for the walk-through and approval. For some exterior-only pickups or property manager situations, we can coordinate access.
Is your business insured?
Yes. We run a professional operation and treat your home and property with care.
