Apartments and rentals get the same service houses do. The Junk Guys haul junk from apartments, duplexes, and multi-unit properties across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, and the rest of Calcasieu and Cameron Parish, for tenants, landlords, and property managers alike.
We work the parts of an apartment job that make people give up: the second-floor walk-up, the 90-degree turn at the bottom of the stairwell, the narrow door the old couch barely came through. We bring the crew to carry it down and out so you are not dragging a mattress through a breezeway by yourself.

The process
How it works
Tell us the unit and the access
Let us know the floor, whether there is an elevator, and what is going. A photo helps. We quote a single item from $99 curbside or $249 full service, or a full unit by volume.
We schedule it
We give you a window and arrive with the crew sized for the stairs and the load. We coordinate with property managers on turnovers.
We carry it down and out
Our crew handles every stair and tight turn, disassembling anything that will not make the corner, and protects the walls and railings on the way.
Donate, recycle, dispose
Usable items are donated, metal and e-waste recycled, and the rest disposed of responsibly. We leave the unit clear.
Pricing
How much does apartment junk removal cost?
A single item is a flat fee; a full unit is priced by volume. Upper-floor units with no elevator take more labor, which we factor into the on-site quote before any work starts.
Single Item
from $99One couch, mattress, or appliance. Curbside from $99, or $249 full service when we carry it down from the unit.
Full Unit / Move-Out
from $549A standard truck-and-trailer load is $549; a packed full-apartment move-out starts at $897 by volume.
Upper floors, long breezeways, and stairwell turns add labor. We confirm the firm price on-site so the access never becomes a surprise charge.
Built for Southwest Louisiana
Apartment hauls in the Lake Charles rental market
Lake Charles has a deep rental market, and a lot of it turned over after the 2020 hurricanes when families rebuilt and complexes filled back up. That means steady tenant move-outs, and move-outs leave junk: the couch that will not fit in the next place, the busted dresser, the mattress nobody wants to move twice.
Most of these units are second-floor walk-ups with no elevator and a tight stairwell, which is exactly the part renters and even some haulers avoid. A sleeper sofa or a sectional often will not clear the turn at the bottom of an apartment stairwell, so we disassemble it on the spot rather than forcing it and gouging the walls.
One thing renters get caught by: most apartment complexes prohibit dumping bulk items in the property dumpster, and management can bill you for it. Having the junk hauled off the property cleanly avoids that fee and the headache with the landlord.
