Junk Removal in Okemos, MI

Got an Okemos garage you can't park in anymore? Or a spare room that's quietly become the place where old stuff goes to hide? We can help with that. Lansing Junk Removal can clear out furniture, broken appliances and years of odds and ends.

Here's how it goes. You show us what needs to leave. We give you a real number. If you like it, we carry everything out ourselves, and you don't lift a finger.

Right next door in Okemos

Okemos sits just southeast of East Lansing, mostly inside Meridian Charter Township, with a few edges that spill into Alaiedon and Williamstown townships. For our trucks coming out of Lansing, that's practically next door.

A bit of local history we like: a pioneer named Freeman Bray first laid out the village under the name Hamilton. Folks living there kept calling it Okemos anyway, after Chief John Okemos of the Ojibwe, and the state legislature eventually made that name official.

The Red Cedar River winds east to west right through town. Wherever you are in town, we come to you.

What an Okemos pickup costs

Our minimum charge is $175. That covers a pile roughly the size of one couch. Bigger jobs are priced by how much space your items fill in the truck, so you only pay for what we actually haul.

We come out and look at it for free. You'll hear the exact price before anything gets loaded, and there's no obligation. If you do, the crew can usually take it all that same visit. You can read more on our pricing page.

Heads up on heavier materials. Construction debris, rocks, bricks, tile, tires and shingles add to the cost, so tell us about them when you ask for a price and there won't be surprises.

Three easy ways to get a price

Choose whatever is easiest for you.

  • In person: we swing by, see the items, and give you a firm number at no cost. Say yes and we can usually haul it right then.
  • By text: snap a few pictures and send them to 517-643-0940. We'll reply with an estimate, and the firm price is set when we're on site, with no obligation.
  • By phone: if it's three items or fewer, the office can often lock in a fixed quote during the call. For more than that, we'll give you a range first.

What we haul from Okemos homes

Common pickups include:

  • Couches, sectionals and recliners that have seen better days
  • Old mattresses and box springs
  • Fridges, washers, dryers and other appliances
  • Desks, tables and patio furniture
  • Old TVs and monitors
  • Tires (extra charge) and general clutter from the garage or basement
  • Hot tubs, priced after we take a look in person

What we have to leave behind

We don't handle biohazards like dead animals, feces or bed bug infested items. We also can't take used oil, open containers of liquid, 55-gallon drums of liquid, or cars.

A few bags of leaves or some branches mixed in are fine. But if your project is mostly yard waste, a lawn or landscape company is usually the cheaper call, and we'll tell you so.

Big cleanouts or one heavy piece

We also handle whole-space cleanouts. Think of a basement after the kids moved out, a garage before a sale, or a rental between tenants. Our junk hauling crew does the heavy lifting and handles the stairs.

If you're sorting through a parent's home, we get that it can be hard. Our estate cleanouts go at whatever pace works for your family, and we leave alone anything you want to keep.

Just one bulky item? Our furniture removal makes that quick. Closer to campus? Check out our junk removal in East Lansing page.
