Junk Removal Near North & Willard-Hay
Junk Removal in
Near North & Willard-Hay
North Minneapolis's historic core — Near North, Willard-Hay and Harrison (55411/55405), the heart of the city's long-rooted Black community: older single-family homes, a deep stock of duplexes, and families who've held these houses for generations. The work here is straightforward and honest: value house and duplex truck-fills, estate cleanouts as parents age in place, and quick turnover clear-outs. When money matters, a clean published flat price matters — so you get the number from a photo, tax already in it, before anyone parks in your driveway.
A published price, not a "call for an estimate"
Half the junk haulers working the Twin Cities say the word "transparent" and then quote you on your own doorstep, after they've eyeballed the truck space. On the North Side, where people are careful with a dollar and tired of surprises, that's exactly backwards. We publish the number. Text a photo of the room, the basement or the duplex unit and you get a flat, all-in price in seconds — labor, disposal, the drive, the donation runs and Minnesota sales tax all inside it. No walk-through, no reveal, no "well, it's a little more than we thought." The price you approve from your phone is the price you pay when the job's done.
That clarity is the whole point in Near North and Willard-Hay. Whether it's a house full of a lifetime's belongings, a duplex that needs to turn between tenants, or a garage that finally has to be emptied, you know the cost going in and you can decide on your own terms.
The jobs we do most on the North Side
- Value house truck-fills — a full single-family clear-out, room by room, priced by how much comes out and nothing more.
- Duplex & turnover cleanouts — one unit or a whole two-family, emptied and ready to re-rent, usually same or next day.
- Estate & downsizing clears — an aging parent's home or an inherited house cleared top to bottom, with the good furniture donated and a receipt if you want one.
- Post-move-out & board-up clears — whatever's left behind after a tenant leaves or a property changes hands, hauled in one visit.
- Basement & garage cleanouts — the full basement carried up the stairs, the detached garage emptied to bare walls.
- Appliances & single pieces — an old fridge ($164–$183, freon documented), a washer or dryer ($128–$133), a sofa ($126) or mattress ($111–$114).

We donate before we dump
A lot of what leaves a North Side house still has life in it — a couch, a table, a working dresser, dishes and household goods. We route those to Bridging, the Twin Cities furniture bank that gives furniture to families setting up a home, along with the Salvation Army and Goodwill. E-waste, scrap metal and appliances are diverted to the right places instead of the landfill or the downtown incinerator. On a full estate you get a donation receipt for your records, and either way, less of your neighborhood's stuff ends up thrown away for no reason.
What Near North customers say
"I texted a photo of the basement and had a flat price in a few minutes — no waiting around for someone to come look and then talk me up. Cleared my late uncle's house on Penn, donated the good furniture, and the number never budged."
"I own a duplex off Broadway and needed the lower unit cleared after a tenant moved out. Same-day, one flat price with tax in it, and they hauled a couch and mattress plus a bunch of junk. Got it re-rented that week."
"Fair and upfront, which I appreciated. Old fridge, a washer and a garage full of stuff out of my mom's Harrison house. They told me the price before they started and stuck to it. No games."
