When you call Junk Goats, you get a local team that knows Richmond neighborhoods, shows up when we say we will, and treats your property like it's our own. No call centers, no corporate runaround — just straightforward service from people who care about their reputation in this community.

RESIDENTIAL JUNK REMOVAL SERVICES IN RICHMOND
From a single piece of furniture to a complete home cleanout — we handle jobs of every size.
Home & Estate Cleanouts
Clearing out an entire home is one of the most overwhelming tasks there is. Decades of accumulated belongings, emotional attachments, and the sheer physical labor of removing it all — it's enough to paralyze most people. That's where we come in.
Junk Goats specializes in whole-home cleanouts throughout Richmond. Whether you're settling an estate in Church Hill, helping aging parents downsize in the West End, or clearing a property for sale in The Fan, our crews handle the heavy lifting while you focus on what matters. We work at your pace — fast when deadlines demand it, careful when the situation calls for sensitivity.
What we handle:
- Full house cleanouts for downsizing, moving, or renovations
- Estate cleanouts handled with compassion and discretion
- Foreclosure and tenant turnover cleanouts for property managers
- Hoarding situations approached with understanding and care
We sort as we go — identifying items for donation, recycling, and disposal — so nothing usable ends up in a landfill unnecessarily.
Furniture Removal in Richmond
That sectional that's too heavy to move. The mattress you've been meaning to get rid of for months. The dining set collecting dust in the basement. Getting rid of bulky furniture is one of the most common reasons Richmond residents call us — and one of the easiest problems we solve.
Our crews remove furniture from anywhere in your home, including upstairs bedrooms, finished basements, and tight spaces. We handle the awkward maneuvering, protect your walls and floors, and haul everything away. Furniture still in decent shape gets donated to local charities; we'll provide a receipt for your tax records.
Common items we remove:
- Sofas, sectionals, recliners, and chairs
- Mattresses, box springs, and bed frames
- Dining sets, desks, dressers, and armoires
- Entertainment centers, bookshelves, and cabinets
Appliance Removal & Recycling
Old refrigerator taking up space in the garage? Washer and dryer you replaced but never hauled off? Appliances are heavy, awkward, and require proper disposal — especially units containing refrigerants. We handle the removal, transport, and environmentally responsible recycling so you don't have to figure out the regulations yourself.
What we remove:
- Refrigerators, freezers, and wine coolers
- Washers, dryers, and water heaters
- Stoves, ovens, dishwashers, and microwaves
- Window AC units and dehumidifiers
Yard Waste Removal in Richmond
Richmond's tree canopy is one of the city's best features — until a storm drops half of it in your yard. We haul away branches, brush, logs, leaves, and landscaping debris so you don't have to rent a trailer or make endless dump runs. We also remove outdoor junk: old swing sets, rotted deck furniture, hot tub shells, broken grills, and anything else cluttering your property.
What we handle:
- Storm debris and fallen branches
- Brush, logs, and landscaping waste
- Hot tubs, sheds, and play equipment
- Fencing, deck boards, and patio furniture
Pre-Move & Post-Move Junk Removal
Moving is stressful enough without hauling junk you don't even want to your new place. Our pre-move service helps you purge before the moving truck arrives — reducing your moving costs and letting you start fresh. We also handle post-move cleanup: removing packing materials, boxes, and anything the previous owners left behind.
COMMERCIAL JUNK REMOVAL FOR RICHMOND BUSINESSES
Professional cleanouts that work around your schedule and minimize business disruption.
Richmond businesses trust Junk Goats for commercial junk removal because we understand that your operations can't stop for a cleanout. We work after hours, move quickly, and get your space cleared without disrupting your business.
Office Cleanouts & Furniture Removal
Relocating offices? Upgrading furniture? Closing a location? We remove cubicles, desks, filing cabinets, conference tables, break room appliances, and all office equipment. Sensitive materials are handled appropriately, and we work around your business hours.
Retail & Warehouse Cleanouts
Retail fixtures, warehouse racking, old inventory, pallets — commercial spaces have unique junk removal challenges. Our crews are equipped to handle large-scale cleanouts efficiently so you can get back to business.
Construction Debris Removal
Richmond contractors rely on us for job site cleanup. We haul away drywall, lumber, flooring, fixtures, roofing, concrete, and renovation waste. Schedule one-time pickups or recurring service throughout your project.

WHY RICHMOND CHOOSES JUNK GOATS
Same Day Junk Removal Available
Need junk gone today? We offer same day junk removal throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and surrounding areas. Call before noon for the best chance at same-day service — we'll do everything we can to get you on the schedule.
Donation & Recycling First
Your unwanted items deserve a second life whenever possible. Usable furniture and household goods go to local Richmond charities including Habitat ReStore and Goodwill. We recycle metals, electronics, and other materials. Landfill disposal is always our last resort. We provide donation receipts for your tax records on request.
Transparent, Upfront Pricing
No hidden fees, ever. We quote one price that includes everything — labor, loading, hauling, and disposal. You know exactly what you're paying before we load a single item. Our volume-based pricing is simple to understand and easy to compare.
HOW MUCH DOES JUNK REMOVAL COST IN RICHMOND?
Junk removal pricing in Richmond is based on one factor: how much space your items take up in our truck.
Junk removal pricing in Richmond is based on one factor: how much space your items take up in our truck. Not by the hour. Not by weight. Not by item count. Just volume.
Here's how it works: we arrive, look at everything you want removed, and give you a firm, all-inclusive price on the spot. That quote covers all labor, loading, transport, and disposal fees — no hidden charges, no surprises at the end. Accept the price and we start immediately. Decline and you owe nothing.
What Affects Your Junk Removal Quote
- Total volume — how much truck space your junk requires
- Material type — heavy items like concrete may add a surcharge
- Accessibility — attic retrieval vs. curbside pickup
- Special disposal requirements — certain items have extra fees
Is Junk Removal Cheaper Than Renting a Dumpster?
For most Richmond homeowners, yes. When you add up dumpster rental fees, delivery charges, pickup fees, weight limits, overage charges, permit costs (if blocking a street), and the value of your time loading everything yourself — full-service junk removal usually comes out about even or ahead. Plus, we're done in hours, not days, and you don't lift a finger.

RICHMOND JUNK REMOVAL: COMMON QUESTIONS
Why should I hire a junk removal service instead of hauling it myself?
Time, effort, and hidden costs. Hauling junk yourself means renting a truck, loading heavy items without proper equipment, making multiple dump runs, paying disposal fees, and spending your entire weekend on manual labor. Most Richmond homeowners find that professional junk removal costs about the same once you factor in truck rental, fuel, dump fees, and the value of your time — except you don't lift a finger.
Can you remove a single item, or do I need a full truckload?
We handle jobs of any size — from a single mattress or couch to a complete house cleanout. There's no minimum. If you just need one bulky item removed that won't fit in your trash, we're happy to help. Pricing is based on how much truck space you use, so smaller jobs cost less.
What's the difference between junk removal and dumpster rental?
With dumpster rental, a container sits in your driveway for days while you load it yourself. You're responsible for all the labor, and you pay overage fees if you exceed weight limits. With junk removal, we show up with a crew, load everything for you, and we're gone in hours. For most Richmond homeowners, full-service removal is more convenient and often costs about the same.
Do you provide receipts for donated items?
Yes. When we donate your usable items to local charities, we can provide a donation receipt for your tax records. Just let us know you need one when we complete the job. We partner with organizations like Habitat ReStore and Goodwill throughout Richmond.
How do you handle estate cleanouts differently than regular junk removal?
Estate cleanouts require more sensitivity and flexibility. We work at whatever pace the family needs — fast to meet a closing deadline, or slow to allow time for sorting. Our crews are trained to help identify items that might have value or sentimental importance. We coordinate with realtors and estate attorneys when needed, and we approach every estate job with the respect the situation deserves.
What happens if my junk weighs more than expected?
We quote based on volume, not weight — so the price you're quoted is the price you pay for standard items. The only exception is unusually heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or brick, which may carry a surcharge due to disposal costs. We'll always tell you upfront if heavy materials affect your quote.
Can you work around my schedule if I have a tight timeline?
Absolutely. We offer same day service when available, and we can often accommodate urgent requests. If you're facing a real estate closing, a move-out deadline, or any other time-sensitive situation, let us know when you call — we'll do everything we can to fit your timeline.
Do you clean up after the removal, or just take the items?
We clean up. After loading your items, our crew sweeps the area and leaves your space better than we found it. You shouldn't have to grab a broom after we leave — that's part of the service.
