We remove most non-hazardous household junk, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, yard debris, garage clutter, and move-out junk from apartments and rental homes throughout Tempe.

Are there items you can’t take?

Yes — there are a few items we cannot haul in Tempe because they’re considered hazardous or regulated.

If you’re unsure about something, text us a photo and your Tempe location (like near ASU, Tempe Town Lake, or Rural Road) and we’ll tell you immediately what’s allowed and what needs special disposal through Tempe/Maricopa County household hazardous waste programs.

Do you handle heavy items like pianos, safes, and large appliances in Tempe?

Often, yes. Heavy-item removal depends on access, stairs, weight, and layout, especially in apartments near Downtown Tempe or student housing near Apache Boulevard. Send us photos and the address, and we’ll confirm quickly.
