How much will it cost, and are there any hidden fees?

Homegrown Hauling believes in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Most junk removal and hauling jobs are priced based on the amount of space your items take up in our truck, along with the type of materials being removed.

Your quote typically includes:

  • Labor for loading and removal
  • Transportation and hauling
  • Disposal or recycling fees
  • Cleanup of the area once items are removed

Before any work begins, we provide a firm estimate so you know exactly what to expect. If there are any special disposal requirements—such as appliances containing refrigerants, large construction debris, or certain hazardous materials—we’ll explain those costs ahead of time so there are no surprises on your final invoice.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Homegrown Hauling is fully licensed and insured, which protects both our customers and our team while work is being performed on your property.

We carry general liability insurance and appropriate coverage for our crew, giving homeowners and businesses peace of mind during junk removal, cleanouts, and hauling services.

Working with a licensed and insured hauling company ensures that your property is protected and that your project is handled by trained professionals who follow safe operating practices.

What types of items do you accept or restrict?

Homegrown Hauling removes a wide variety of household, commercial, and construction-related items.

Common items we accept include:

  • Furniture and mattresses
  • Appliances and household junk
  • Yard waste and storm debris
  • Construction and renovation debris
  • Old sheds, fencing, and outdoor structures
  • Garage, basement, and attic cleanouts

  • Appliances containing refrigerants
  • Tires and automotive fluids

If you’re unsure whether we can take something, simply send us a quick message or photo, and we’ll let you know how it can be handled.

What is your disposal process? Do you recycle or donate items?

At Homegrown Hauling, we aim to reduce landfill waste whenever possible. Our team carefully sorts items after pickup to identify materials that can be:

  • Recycled
  • Repurposed
  • Donated to local organizations
  • Properly disposed of according to local regulations

Whenever possible, usable items such as furniture, tools, or household goods may be donated to local charities or reuse centers rather than sent to the landfill.

This approach helps support the community while also ensuring that materials are handled in a responsible and environmentally conscious way.

When are you available, and how quickly can the job be done?

Homegrown Hauling offers flexible scheduling to accommodate your timeline. In many cases, we can provide next-day or even same-day hauling services, depending on availability.

Typical jobs such as small junk removal pickups or furniture removal can often be completed in under an hour, while larger projects like garage cleanouts, property cleanups, or renovation debris removal may take several hours.
