Owner-operated, licensed and insured, working both sides of the Michigan–Ohio line. We carry it out, we quote it flat, and we sort the load before anything sees a landfill.
Monroe & Toledo Junk Removal was started because this market is split down the middle by a state line, and almost nobody works both sides of it. A homeowner in Temperance gets routed to a Detroit dispatcher who quotes them like they live in Dearborn. A homeowner in Point Place calls six Michigan haulers and none of them cross into Ohio. Meanwhile the national brands quote a national price for a job they have not looked at yet. We fixed the obvious problem: one local crew, both counties, one flat number given in your driveway before anything moves.
We are not a franchise and we do not sell your phone number to three other companies. When you call, you get the people who will actually be lifting the couch — the same people who know which Toledo alleys a dump truck cannot turn around in, which Monroe County townships have their own transfer-station rules, and what a hot tub weighs once the foam has soaked up ten years of rain.
We look at the job, we say a number, and that is what you pay. No hourly clock, no “this turned out to be heavier than we thought,” no minimum you find out about at the end. If we misjudged it, that is our mistake to eat.
Furniture that someone can still use goes to a donation partner. Metal and appliances go to scrap. Electronics go to certified e-waste. What is left after all of that is the only part that gets tipped, and it is usually far less than people expect.
A lot of these calls come at hard moments — a parent's estate, a divorce, a foreclosure, a hoarding situation someone is embarrassed about. We move carefully, we set aside anything that looks personal, and we do not make anyone feel judged in their own home.
Anybody can haul a pile off a curb. The reason people call us is the couch in the basement, the hot tub behind the gate, and the house that has to be empty by Friday.
The whole point of calling us is that you don't touch it. Basements with turn-stairs, second-floor bedrooms, attic crawls, back sheds, barns — we bring the dollies, the straps and the muscle, and we protect the doorways and floors on the way out.
We look at the job, tell you what it costs to make it disappear, and that number does not move. No hourly meter running, no “we found more than expected” on the invoice, no minimum you find out about at the end.
Usable furniture goes to local donation partners, metal and appliances go to scrap, electronics go to e-waste. The landfill is where a load ends up after everything else has been pulled out of it, not before.
Michigan and Ohio have different transfer stations, different disposal rules and different fees. We run Monroe County and Lucas County every day, so a job that crosses the border is routine here instead of a reason to say no.
Most calls get picked up within 24 to 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots for closings, showings and emergencies. Seven days a week, including the Saturday you finally cleared your calendar for.
You get the people who will actually be in your driveway — not a national dispatch line that farms your address out to whoever answers first and marks up the price on the way through.
Same-day and next-day pickup across Monroe County, Michigan and Lucas County, Ohio. Flat pricing quoted before we start, and we carry everything out ourselves — basement, attic, garage or barn.
