Colorado Springs • Junk Removal Guide

What Junk Removal Companies Take (and What We Can’t) in Colorado Springs

At Junk Removed Now, we haul almost everything—our motto: we haul everything except hazardous waste and dead bodies. Expect fast pickups, honest pricing, and smart routing (donation, recycling, refurbishment, or—only when needed—disposal).

Where Your Stuff Actually Goes (Our Process)

  1. On-site Estimate: Clear price before we lift a finger.
  2. Load-Up: Safe, fast, and sweep-clean.
  3. Sort & Route:
    • Donate what’s still useful
    • Recycle metals, e-waste, cardboard
    • Refurbish/Resell select pieces
    • Upcycle into Art (Ray’s sculptures)
  4. Dispose only when no other path makes sense

Standout finds often appear in our weekly One Man’s Trash Mondays giveaways.

When DIY Makes Sense

  • Single small items: If you can lift/transport safely, a quick trip may be cheaper.
  • Large, mixed piles: We save you hours (and your back). One team, one truck, sorted properly.
