Cedar-Riverside
The West Bank — "Little Mogadishu." The Riverside Plaza towers, the older apartments and SROs, the University of Minnesota's West Bank, and the family-owned shops all along Cedar Avenue. This is a neighborhood almost no hauler is actually built for — so we built for it. Somali service, high-rise apartment cleanouts through the freight elevator, senior downsizing, and small-business clear-outs, all at one flat photo-quoted price with Minnesota sales tax already inside it. Waan ku adeegnaa bulshada Soomaalida.
Built for the West Bank
Cedar-Riverside is unlike anywhere else in Minneapolis: nearly half the neighborhood speaks Somali at home, the towers of Riverside Plaza hold thousands of families, and the Cedar Avenue corridor is a dense strip of Somali and East African restaurants, shops and offices — with U of M students layered on top. The big national franchises quote it like any other zip code and leave the language and the high-rise access as your problem. We flip that. We book in Somali, we know how to move furniture through a Riverside Plaza freight elevator, we handle the patient work of an elder's downsizing, and we clear a Cedar Avenue storefront around your business hours. One photo, one flat price, tax included, and it's done.
Adeeg Soomaali ah — Somali service
This is the part no franchise offers, so we say it plainly. Waan ku adeegnaa bulshada Soomaalida — waana ku faraxsanahay inaan kaa caawinno. Sawir soo dir oo waxaad heli doontaa qiimo go'an: qashin qaadis iyo nadiifinta guriga, alaab guri iyo fadhi la qaado, nadiifinta garaashka, iyo qol hoose — isla maalinta marka boos banaan yahay, qiimo go'an oo canshuurta ku jirto. And we serve the whole East African community here, not only Somali speakers — Oromo, Amharic and Arabic households are just as welcome. Send a photo, get a straight price, no language barrier.
Riverside Plaza & the West Bank apartments
The towers are their own kind of job. Getting a sofa or a mattress out of a Riverside Plaza unit means the freight elevator, coordinating with building staff, and a careful carry down long interior hallways — and none of that changes your price. There's no high-rise surcharge and no elevator fee; the flat quote you approve from a photo is the whole number. We do the full range in these buildings: a single mattress or couch, a full apartment move-out, and the increasingly common senior-downsizing clear-out, where we work patiently, keep whatever the family wants kept, and route the usable furniture to Bridging and the Salvation Army for a donation receipt.
Cedar Avenue small-business clear-outs
The commercial strip is the other half of the neighborhood. When a family-owned cafe, halal grocery, retail stall or office on Cedar Avenue turns over, closes, or renovates, we clear it — shelving, coolers, counters, restaurant equipment, and the back room nobody's touched in years. We work around your open hours, load from the alley or back door, and hand you one flat, photo-quoted price with a receipt. The City of Minneapolis curbside large-item program (two items a week at $30, set out by 6 a.m., 612-673-2917) was never built for a business clear-out — that on-demand, whole-space job is exactly ours.

What West Bank customers say
"Waxay iga saareen sariir, kursi weyn iyo alaabo badan oo ka baxday guri Riverside Plaza ah. Af-Soomaali ayay igula hadleen, qiimo go'an, isla maalinta. Aad baan ugu faraxsanahay."
"Closed my little shop on Cedar and needed the shelving, a cooler and a room of old stock gone before the lease was up. They came the same day, worked around me, spoke Somali, and gave me one flat price with a receipt."
"West Bank student place, four of us moving out at once. Two old couches, a couple mattresses and a mini-fridge, out through the building elevator, one flat number from a photo. Fast and no drama."
