Blurry Background

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Albuquerque, NM, and the surrounding communities. If you’re unsure whether we can reach you, just give us a call or fill out our contact form.

How much does curbside pickup cost?

Our flat-rate curbside pickup is just $65, which covers up to one full truck bed of junk, bagged items, or bulky waste.

What is included in the $65 curbside pickup?

We’ll pick up one truck bed worth of items from your curb or driveway. All smaller items must be bagged for quick and safe loading.

Do I need to bag my items?

Yes — all small, loose, or lightweight items (including yard debris) must be securely bagged to keep the process fast, safe, and clean.

Can you pick up from inside my home?

Our curbside service is pickup-only from the curb or driveway. If you need us to remove items from inside the property, ask about our Full Service Trash-Outs.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We do not accept cash at the moment however, debit, and major credit cards are accepted at or before the time of service.

Do you recycle any of the items you collect?

Whenever possible, we divert items from landfills by recycling or donating reusable goods.

Do you take hazardous materials?

Do you work with businesses or apartment complexes?
