What renovation debris involves

Renovation garbage removal is one of those jobs that sneaks up on you fast. One weekend of demo work and suddenly you've got a pile of drywall chunks, broken tile, ripped-out cabinets, and old lumber stacked in the driveway with nowhere to go. That's where Junk Genius steps in. We'll come out, assess what you've got, load it up, and haul it off, so the debris stops being your problem. With about 15 years hauling in the Twin Cities and 1,987 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, Mike Reimann's crew knows renovation waste. Call (612) 444-5865 for a free quote and we can often get you scheduled the same week.

How much does renovation debris removal cost? Honestly, it depends on volume, material weight, and how accessible the pile is. Light demo waste from a single bathroom remodel lands very differently than a full kitchen gut job with concrete backer board and cast iron drain lines. As a general market-rate window, renovation hauls range from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand, sometimes more on larger commercial or multi-room projects. What drives the price up: heavy materials like tile and concrete, tight access like basement stairwells, multiple trips, or sorting mixed loads. What keeps it lower: clean, sorted piles near the door with good truck access. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

WHAT WE HAUL

Construction and Remodel Debris We Remove

If your contractor left it behind or your demo crew piled it up, we'll take it from there.

Drywall and Plaster

Broken sheets, scraps, and old plaster walls from interior gut jobs. Heavy stuff, we bring the right crew for it.

Flooring and Tile

Ripped-out hardwood, ceramic and porcelain tile, vinyl plank, laminate, and subfloor sections. Tile is dense; we're used to it.

Cabinets and Millwork

Old kitchen or bathroom cabinets, trim, doors, window frames, and built-ins. We'll load what the demo crew left stacked in the garage.

Lumber and Framing Scrap

Dimensional lumber, treated wood, OSB, plywood cutoffs, and assorted framing debris from structural work.

Fixtures and Appliances

Old sinks, toilets, vanities, bathtubs, and appliances pulled during a remodel. Appliance removal is handled responsibly. We recycle what we can.

Concrete and Masonry

Broken concrete, brick, block, and mortar from demo work. Weight limits apply per load. We'll let you know upfront.

WHY JUNK GENIUS

What Makes This Crew Different From Renting a Dumpster

Renting a dumpster makes sense for some projects, long timelines, contractor crews generating debris over weeks. But for a single-phase cleanout where the debris is already piled up, a full-service haul is almost always faster and simpler. You don't have to load it yourself, you don't wait for a pickup window, and you're not paying for dumpster days you don't need. Mike Reimann's crew is licensed in Minnesota (license #3772090-2), certified in waste management and MSW hauling, and has been doing this for about 15 years. That's not a franchise call center. That's a named owner with his name on the truck. We don't subcontract your job out. The crew that shows up is the crew that works. If another company quoted you significantly less than us, ask whether they're licensed and how they handle disposal. There's usually a reason the price looks that good.

RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL

We Recycle and Donate: Not Just Dump

Sorting at the Facility

We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Renovation materials like clean lumber, metal, and certain fixtures often qualify.

Electronics and Appliances Handled Right

Old appliances pulled during a kitchen remodel don't just disappear into a bin. We route electronics and e-waste through proper recycling channels to stay compliant with Minnesota disposal requirements.

Local Charity Partners

Cabinets, doors, and fixtures in decent condition sometimes go to local charity partners rather than the dump. Good stuff finds a second life when it can. We keep you informed on what went where.

MORE SERVICES

Other Junk We Haul: Before or After the Renovation

Furniture Removal

Staging a remodel often means clearing the room first. We do furniture removal before demo starts or after the project wraps, your call.

Yard and Shed Debris

Exterior projects leave their own mess. Fencing, landscaping scraps, and old shed removal all fall within our scope.

Oven and Stove Removal

Kitchen remodels almost always mean pulling the old range. Oven and stove removal is a job we handle cleanly and recycle responsibly.

Full Cleanouts

If the renovation uncovered years of accumulated junk in an attic or storage space, we do full property cleanouts, not just the construction pile.

REAL CUSTOMERS

What People Say After We Show Up

"Owen and Curtis were so helpful in figuring out how to address my unwanted items! They had great ideas to make it for my budget. Very kind, professional, and explained everything. Great experience."

COMMON QUESTIONS

Renovation Debris Removal: FAQ

How do I get rid of renovation debris?

Three real options: haul it yourself to a transfer station (time, truck, and tipping fees required), rent a dumpster and load it yourself over time, or call a full-service crew like Junk Genius to come pick it up in one shot. For most homeowners with a finished demo pile, the full-service route is faster and often cheaper once you factor in your own time and dump fees. We can usually schedule within the same week.

How much does debris removal typically cost?

It depends on volume, material weight, and access. A small bathroom remodel with a few hundred pounds of tile and drywall costs far less than a full kitchen gut with concrete backer board and cast iron. Nationally, hauls range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand on larger jobs. Heavy materials like concrete or brick push costs up. Clean, accessible piles keep them down. Every job is different, contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

Do you take mixed renovation loads: drywall, tile, and lumber all together?

Yes. Mixed loads are actually the norm on renovation jobs. We don't require you to sort the pile before we arrive. Our crew sorts at the facility for recycling and disposal. The exception is hazardous materials, things like asbestos tile, lead paint debris, or chemical waste require specialized disposal that falls outside our scope. If you're unsure about a material, call us before the job and we'll give you a straight answer.

Can you remove concrete and heavy masonry from a demo job?

We can, with some weight-per-load limits. Concrete is dense. A single small pile can exceed what a standard haul allows in one trip. On heavy masonry jobs we'll assess the volume upfront and let you know if it requires multiple loads or a different approach. Cement, brick, block, and tile are all materials we encounter regularly on demo cleanouts across the metro.

What's actually included in a junk removal appointment for renovation debris?

Labor, loading, transport, and disposal are all included. You don't touch anything once we're on site. We bring the crew, the truck, and the muscle. Pricing is by volume and weight, not by the hour, so there's no incentive to drag out the job. We give you a firm price before we start. No surprises when the truck is full. See our blog on professional junk removal vs. DIY if you want the full breakdown.

How quickly can you pick up renovation debris after a demo job?

Same-week scheduling is standard. On lighter loads and open slots, same-day or next-day is possible. Call us at (612) 444-5865 to check availability. We're open seven days a week, 7 a.m. To 8 p.m. So weekend pickups work for renovation timelines that run through Saturday.
