What city jobs look like

The city is different from the counties. Houses are older, closer together, and the stuff inside them has often been there for decades. A Fan rowhouse cleanout means three floors of stairs, a front door that opens onto the sidewalk, and an alley in the back that may or may not fit a trailer. A Northside bungalow usually has a basement with a low ceiling and a detached garage full of what the last three owners left. Church Hill adds a hill.

We price all of that from a photo. Text us the pile and the address, and the number we send back already accounts for the stairs, the carry, and the parking.

Where your stuff goes

Disposal arrangements depend on the materials and facility acceptance. We confirm the plan and any disposal charges in your quote.

Donation may be an option for usable items, subject to the receiving organization accepting them. Discuss the destination when booking. Receipts are available only if the organization issues one.

Shed-side debris removal, with photos

The before-and-after photos below show cardboard and scrap lumber piled against a shed, followed by the cleared ground beside it.

The same process covers an apartment turnover in the Museum District, a garage in Bellevue, or a full basement in Westover Hills: photo, price, done.

Things to know before you text

  • Rental turnovers. If you manage a unit in Scott’s Addition or Manchester, send us the listing photos and a move-out date. We can usually be there the day after the tenant leaves.
  • Historic districts. Check permit and historic-district requirements with your local building department before scheduling demolition or exterior work.
  • Curb rules. The city will ticket a bulk pile left at the curb outside your collection week. If you have already dragged it out and the neighbors are complaining, that is a same-day call for us.

Richmond questions

Can you get a couch out of a Fan rowhouse?

Yes. Most Fan and Museum District houses have a narrow front stair and a back alley. We check both, take doors off hinges if we need to, and carry out the back when the front is too tight. Tell us the floor it is on when you text.

Does the city pick up bulk items for free?

Richmond runs bulk and brush pickup every other week on your recycling week, and city residents can take bulk to East Richmond Road for free. It works if you can wait, lift it to the curb yourself, and it is not a whole room. When it is more than that, or it needs to be gone this week, that is what we are for.

Do you handle alley-only access?

All the time. Church Hill, Jackson Ward and Oregon Hill alleys are tight, so we bring the trailer as close as it fits and hand-carry the rest. No extra charge for the walk.

What about parking?

We handle it. On permit-parking blocks in the Fan we park short and load fast. If a street needs a temporary no-parking sign for a big estate cleanout, we tell you ahead of time.
