"Justin and his crew displayed great sensitivity during an emotional time, kept in constant contact, sent updates and photos throughout, and worked to proactively set aside sentimental items that I overlooked. He worked closely with my real estate agent to get this house, which was incredibly stuffed, cleared out in record time. This was immeasurably helpful to me as I am out of state and he handled it as if it were his own property. I have already hired him to clean out additional storage units, knowing that they are in good hands!"

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is not just a moving company — it's a customer service company that moves!

"The two young men that loaded our truck were very friendly and respectful. However, the loading job was extremely poor. When we arrived at our destination, the movers who unloaded (also with Two Men and a Truck) stated numerous times how terrible the packing job was. All heavy furniture was placed on top of boxes and totes, completely crushing many of the boxes. We had a damaged wagon, elliptical, sitting room chair set and more. I reported this to the company immediately. I was offered a $250 refund. I explained that the damage was not the potential fault of the moving vehicle or driver; that had the truck been loaded properly and boxes not crushed by heavy furniture, damage would have been mitigated. This office manager was unwilling to do anything further. Please note- Two Men and a Truck Urbandale does not stand behind their work and if you have damaged items, you have zero recourse. Very unsatisfied with the way this office conducts business and treats their customers."

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Melrose, 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.
