Junk Removal Longfellow & Seward
Junk Removal in
Longfellow & Seward
Craftsman and bungalow homes with full basements running east to the Mississippi River gorge, plus block after block of owner-occupied duplexes and the co-op, cyclist, keep-it-out-of-the-landfill Seward crowd. Two jobs anchor it: the riverside basement and garage cleanout, carried up the stairs, and the between-tenant duplex turnover. We donate to Bridging and Habitat ReStore before we dump — one flat, photo-quoted price with Minnesota sales tax already in it, same-day when we have the window.
Basements by the river, duplexes on every block
Longfellow, Seward, Cooper and Howe (55406) are the family neighborhoods that run down to the Mississippi River gorge — Craftsman and bungalow single-family homes, nearly all of them with a full basement, mixed with the city's dense owner-occupied duplex stock. That gives us two steady jobs. The first is the basement and garage cleanout: decades of boxes, old furniture, tools, dead appliances and the storage that piled up in a home near the river trails. The second is the small-landlord duplex turnover — the between-tenant clear-out where a unit gets emptied and made ready to show, fast.
We price both the same honest way: send a photo, get a flat number that already covers the labor, the disposal, the drive and Minnesota sales tax. No hourly meter, no "call for a quote," and no re-price at the door — and because turnovers can't wait, same-day is usually on the table.
We donate before we dump — the Seward way
Seward and Longfellow are as environmentally-minded as any neighborhood in the city — co-op shoppers, cyclists, people who'd rather a good couch got used again than crushed. That's exactly how we work. Usable furniture and household goods go to Bridging (the Twin Cities furniture bank), Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill and the Salvation Army; e-waste, scrap metal and appliances are diverted to the right places instead of the landfill. Much of the metro's leftover trash is burned for energy at the downtown HERC rather than buried, and we keep what we can out of that stream entirely by donating and recycling first. On a bigger clear it comes with a donation receipt, and it trims the disposal side of the job too.
What we clear in Longfellow & Seward
- Riverside basement cleanouts — the whole basement carried up the stairs: boxes, old furniture, tools, damp storage.
- Detached garage cleanouts — the alley garage emptied, often on the same visit as the basement.
- Duplex & between-tenant turnover — one unit or both halves cleared and ready to show, fast.
- Move-outs & single-piece hauls — a couch and a mattress together, an old dresser, a broken futon, flat-priced.
- Appliances & e-waste — an old washer, dryer or fridge (freon documented), TVs and electronics diverted, not dumped.

What Longfellow customers say
"Cleared the basement of our bungalow a few blocks off the river gorge — years of boxes, an old couch, a dead dehumidifier. They carried it all up the stairs and made a point of donating the good furniture to Bridging. Flat price, no stair fee."
"I own the duplex I live in and needed the upstairs unit cleared between tenants. Same-day, flat number from photos, and they hauled the ReStore-worthy pieces to Habitat instead of the dump. Turned it around in a weekend."
"Old mattress, a futon and a bunch of e-waste out of a Howe rental. They recycled the electronics properly, one flat price, no surprises. Appreciated that they don't just landfill everything."
