Our work in Forest Hill

If you've been searching for junk removal near Forest Hill and keep landing on national franchise sites with call centers two states away, here's the short answer: Junk Genius is a Minneapolis-based, owner-operated crew that actually shows up. Mike Reimann has been hauling junk across the Twin Cities metro for about 15 years, and the 1,987 five-star Google reviews aren't from satisfied shareholders, they're from homeowners just like you who finally got their garage back. Call (612) 444-5865 for a free estimate and we can often get you on the schedule within the week.

Forest Hill sits close enough to Minneapolis that our crew can be there without the long wait times you'd expect from a bigger operation. We know the neighborhoods, we know the housing stock, and we know that a garage or basement cleanout around here often turns up more than anyone planned for. That's fine. We're not going to nickel-and-dime you when the pile turns out bigger than the original quote suggested. Our team shows up, assesses the job honestly, and gives you a clear number before a single item gets touched.

WHAT WE TAKE

From One Old Couch to a Full Forest Hill Cleanout

One call handles it, whether it's a single bulky item or an entire property's worth of accumulated stuff.

Most Forest Hill calls we get start the same way: someone's been staring at a pile for months, finally had enough, and wants it gone by the weekend. We get it. A tired recliner shoved in the corner of the basement, three mattresses the previous owner left behind, a refrigerator that stopped working two winters ago. These things don't go away on their own. We haul furniture removal including sofas, recliners, bed frames, and dining sets. We handle appliance removal and disposal for fridges, washers, dryers, and stoves. Got a garage packed floor to ceiling? Our garage cleanout crew clears it efficiently, and we separate what can be donated or recycled from what goes straight to disposal. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. We don't take hazardous materials, paint, or certain chemicals. If you're not sure whether something qualifies, call us and we'll tell you straight.

WHY THIS CREW

What Makes Junk Genius Different from the Big Franchise Names

An Owner With His Name on the Truck

Mike Reimann founded Junk Genius about 15 years ago. He's not managing from a corporate office. When something goes sideways, you're dealing with a person who built this business, not a customer service script.

1,987 Real Google Reviews

That number isn't rounded up or estimated. 1,987 reviews averaging 4.9 stars is what happens when a crew shows up on time, does the job, and doesn't create new headaches in the process.

Licensed and Certified in Minnesota

MN License #3772090-2. Our crews carry MSW Hauling certification, Waste Management Safety training, and Recycling Management credentials. That's not wallpaper, that's proof the work gets done the right way.

We Recycle and Donate First

Before anything goes to a landfill, we sort it. Furniture in decent shape goes to charity. Electronics and appliances go through proper recycling channels. You don't have to think about where it ends up.

Available Seven Days a Week

We run seven days, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. If Saturday morning is the only time your schedule opens up, that works for us. Forest Hill pickups are available weekends without extra fees.

No Call Center, No Franchise Layer

When you call (612) 444-5865, you reach our local Minneapolis crew. Not a national booking system, not a dispatcher in another state. The person you talk to knows this market.

SERVICES NEAR FOREST HILL

Specialized Pickups Forest Hill Residents Actually Need

Beyond the standard haul-it-away call, there are a handful of jobs that come up again and again in this part of the metro. Mattress removal and disposal is one of the most common, especially after a move or an estate situation where multiple beds need to go at once. Hot tub removal is another, where the size and weight make a DIY trip to the dump impossible. We've also handled full hoarding cleanup situations where the amount of material involved requires a crew with real capacity and discretion, not just a pickup truck. If you've got a storage unit that got away from you, we do those cleanouts too. Same deal: we show up, sort what can be donated or recycled, and clear the rest. Honestly, the benefits of hiring a professional crew over doing it yourself become pretty clear once you realize how many trips to the dump a full unit actually takes. For contractors and renovators working on Forest Hill properties, we handle construction debris and renovation waste. If you'd rather manage your own timeline, ask about our dumpster rental options, though that's a separate product with a separate conversation.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

Reviews from the Crew's Recent Jobs

Brent Neveau

Sosa and Diego were absolutely amazing. They cleaned out the whole garage in just over an hour. Very professional. Will use them again when needed. A+.

Diane Hansmeier

I had a few places come do estimates, and Junk Genius was definitely the most reasonable. They were also able to switch our day/time when we had something coming up. Big shout out to Lester and Isaiah! They were friendly, respectful of the space, and incredibly efficient!

Riley Jay

Sosa and Diego did an incredible job on my garage. I had bought a house and the seller had left all sorts of junk in the garage including an old fridge and many mattresses. They were able to work with me to get it done fast and affordably. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future work

Lisa Laughlin

Lester and Neil were quick and efficient. Super friendly. Great company! Easy scheduling and great communication. Can't beat the value

Dusty Kemmis

Fast and very good communication. Cleaned out some debris I have been looking at for months. Well worth the price for getting it gone quickly. Saved me a day of doing it myself. Thank you!

Shannon Stordahl

Owen and Curtis were so helpful in figuring out how to address my unwanted items! They had great ideas to make it for my budget. Very kind, professional, and explained everything. Great experience.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can Junk Genius get to Forest Hill for a pickup?

Most Forest Hill jobs get scheduled within the same week, and in many cases we can get there within a day or two of your call. We run seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so Saturday and Sunday pickups are available without any premium. Call (612) 444-5865 and we'll tell you the earliest open slot. Every job is different. Contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

What kinds of items do you take from Forest Hill homes?

We take furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, yard debris, construction debris, and general household junk. For Forest Hill properties, common calls include garage cleanouts, basement clearances, and post-move hauls where the previous owner left items behind. We don't take hazardous materials, paint, or certain chemicals. If you're not sure whether something qualifies, call us before the appointment and we'll give you a straight answer.

Do you handle full estate cleanouts in Forest Hill?

Yes, and these are some of the most meaningful jobs we do. Estate situations often involve clearing an entire home's worth of furniture, appliances, boxes, and personal items under time pressure. Our crew works efficiently and respectfully. We separate what can be donated to local charity partners from what needs to go to disposal, which matters to a lot of families managing an estate. Call (612) 444-5865 to walk us through the scope and we'll give you an honest estimate.

How does Junk Genius price a job in Forest Hill?

Pricing is based on volume, the type of items, and the difficulty of the haul. A single sofa is a very different job from a full two-car garage cleanout. We don't publish flat rates because a number on a page is almost never accurate for the actual job. What we do is send a crew to Forest Hill, look at what you've got, and give you a clear price before anything moves. No obligation to proceed. Every job is different. Contact Junk Genius - Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

Can I get a dumpster dropped at my Forest Hill property instead of a full-service pickup?

Yes, though it's a separate product from the full-service haul. Dumpster rental is the right call when you want to load on your own timeline, for example during a renovation or a multi-day cleanout. Full-service removal is the better fit when you want a crew to do the lifting and sorting for you. Both options are available to Forest Hill addresses. Call (612) 444-5865 and we'll help you figure out which one makes more sense for your job.

Do you donate or recycle items picked up from Forest Hill?

We do. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Furniture in decent condition, working appliances, and electronics all get sorted before disposal. If what you're clearing out has reusable items in the mix, there's a real chance some of it ends up helping someone else instead of a dump. We keep you informed if something from your haul is going to a good home.
