Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our junk removal, cleanouts, pricing, and what we haul.
What areas do The Junk Guys serve?
We serve homeowners and businesses across Southwest Louisiana including Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, and the rest of Calcasieu and Cameron Parish.
How much does junk removal cost in Lake Charles?
Single-item pickups are $99 curbside when the item is outside with easy truck access, or a flat $249 full service when we come inside and carry it out. Loads are priced by truck space: a small load is $199, a half load $349, and a full truck-and-trailer load is $549. Packed-garage XL hauls are $997. Property and move-out cleanouts start at $897, estate cleanouts at $1,497 (jobs over $1,500 include a roll-off dumpster), and storm debris is $449 per load. You always get one firm price before we start.
What will you haul, and what won't you take?
We haul almost anything: furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot tubs, sheds, construction debris, yard debris, e-waste, and full garage, attic, and estate cleanouts. We can't take hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, oil, asbestos, or biohazard waste without a custom quote, and we reserve the right to refuse them.
Do you offer same-day junk removal?
Yes, when our schedule allows. Call early and we'll do our best to get a truck to you the same day. Otherwise we'll book the next available slot — usually within a day or two.
Do I need to move everything outside first?
No. We do all the heavy lifting. Point at what you want gone — in the garage, attic, backyard, or upstairs — and we carry it out and load it. You don't lift a thing.
How does pricing work — by volume or by item?
Most jobs are priced by how much space the junk takes up on our truck and trailer. For a single item, it's a flat pickup fee. You always get a firm price on-site before we load anything — no surprises.
What do you do with the junk?
We donate usable items to local charities when we can, recycle metal and e-waste, and dispose of the rest responsibly at the proper facility. Less goes to the landfill that way.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The Junk Guys is operated by The Garage Guys LLC, fully licensed and insured, carrying general liability coverage.
