"Three gentlemen came from Junk B Squared Away. Although, one was somewhat young (son) and the other was an older gentlemen (Bill the father). Bill and Brendon were very cordial and and comfortable to converse with. Most of the the work was done by one Brendon. He and the crew did a great job disconnecting and wrangling all the appliances out of my kitchen even though the freeze barley fit through the garage door. Brendon and Bill quickly came up with solutions to get it out the door! This is what I admired. They made it work despite the obstacles. That is what you want in a hired company. The willingness and drive, to get things done! I would hire them again"

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Ames, IA

Some charities—think Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity, or the Salvation Army—will pick up gently used furniture or appliances at no charge. Broken or worn-out items, however, usually need a paid junk-removal service. Check with your city, too; many run bulk-item or spring-cleanup days that allow one-time free pickups.

The smallest roll-off dumpsters hold about 2 cubic yards—roughly 6 feet by 8 feet and 3 feet deep—and handle around 400 pounds of debris. They’re perfect for light cleanups, such as closet purges or small bathroom demos. Expect a weekly rental of $75 to $200. Need even less room? A collapsible dumpster bag runs about $100 to $180 for the same period.

Yes. Most junk-removal companies sort out anything that can be donated or recycled first, then haul the rest to an approved landfill. This two-step process keeps usable items out of the dump and ensures everything else is discarded according to local regulations.

While tipping isn’t mandatory, it’s a thoughtful way to thank haulers for heavy lifting and careful handling. Many homeowners offer a flat $20 to $50—or 15% to 20% of the bill—when the crew navigates stairs, removes extra-bulky items, or finishes the job ahead of schedule. A quick online review or cold drinks are also appreciated if a cash tip isn’t practical.
