We run jobs all across Minneapolis, from older craftsman homes in Linden Hills stacked with decades of accumulated stuff, to high-rise apartments in the North Loop where the elevator makes hauling a two-person job, to garages in South Minneapolis that somehow swallowed an entire household worth of items. We know the neighborhoods, we know the parking challenges, and we show up ready for whatever the job actually looks like. Our crew handles appliance removal, yard debris, furniture, mattresses, renovation leftovers, and full bulk pickup jobs. One call, one crew, one truck. One recent customer, Lucky (October 2026), wrote: "Junk Genius came out and got our stuff same day that I called in." Another, Alex (September 2026), booked online or by phone and wrote that the crew was "here within 24 hours of booking." We also serve Burnsville.

Why Minneapolis Calls Us

What Sets Junk Genius Apart in Minneapolis

Sixteen years in this market means we've seen every kind of cleanout job this city throws at you.

Most junk removal companies you'll find online are franchise operations. Someone in another state owns the brand, and a subcontractor shows up to do the work. That's not us. Mike Reimann founded Junk Genius in Minneapolis about 15 years ago, and his name is on the truck. When you call, you're talking to the same team that hauls. We won't sub out your job and we won't send you a stranger. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. That's not a slogan. That's how we've operated since day one.

What We Haul

Minneapolis Junk Removal Services We Actually Do

From a single busted recliner to a full estate cleanout, here's what the crew handles.

Furniture Removal

Sofas, sectionals, mattresses, bed frames, dressers. We carry bulky items out of tight Minneapolis apartments and older homes where the hallways were built before sectionals existed. No damage, no drama.

Appliance Removal

Old fridges, washers, dryers, stoves, and dishwashers hauled and disposed of responsibly. Minneapolis has specific appliance disposal requirements and we follow them. No fridge gets left at the curb.

House and Garage Cleanouts

Whether you're clearing a property before a sale, handling an estate, or finally tackling the garage that's had one car in it for years, we clear the whole thing. One trip, done.

Yard Debris Removal

Spring cleanups, storm cleanup, old deck boards, brush piles. Minneapolis springs are brutal for yard debris after a winter. We haul it all so you don't have to bag it yourself.

Electronics Recycling

Old monitors, computers, printers, and TVs can't go in the trash in Minnesota. We handle computer monitor removal and recycling and make sure e-waste gets processed correctly.

Construction Debris Removal

Renovation leftovers, drywall scraps, old flooring, busted cabinets. If you've been doing work on a Minneapolis home and the pile in the driveway is growing, we'll haul it. We also offer a dumpster rental if your project runs long.

What Customers in Minneapolis Are Saying

Brent Neveau: Garage Cleanout

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: Comparison Shopper

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: New Homeowner Cleanout

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.

Dusty Kemmis: Debris Removal

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!

Lisa Laughlin: Scheduling and Value

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

Built for This City

Minneapolis Neighborhoods We Know Well

Minneapolis housing is its own thing. Uptown has walk-up apartments on tight streets. Northeast has older industrial lofts with freight elevators that work on a good day. Dinkytown has college-era accumulation that somehow multiplied after graduation. South Minneapolis has basements. Many basements. Full of things. Linden Hills and Kenny have craftsman homes with attics that haven't been touched since the Carter administration. We've hauled out of all of them. We know which alleys are accessible, which blocks have permit parking that'll slow a truck down, and how to work efficiently in the spaces Minneapolis actually has. If you're in a neighborhood where you've been told junk removal is complicated, call us. We've heard that before and we've figured it out. We also serve the broader metro, including Fridley and Inver Grove Heights.

Minneapolis Junk Removal FAQ

How quickly can you schedule a junk removal job in Minneapolis?

Most Minneapolis jobs get scheduled within the same week. We're open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so weekend availability is real, not just listed. If you've got a tight deadline, like a property closing or a move-out date, call (612) 444-5865 and we'll tell you exactly what's available. We don't promise same-day on every job, but we do have a track record of making tight timelines work.

Do you remove items from Minneapolis high-rise apartments or condos?

Yes. We handle apartment and condo jobs regularly in Minneapolis, including buildings in the North Loop, downtown, and Uptown. If your building requires a certificate of insurance or has freight elevator scheduling rules, let us know when you call. We've navigated those situations before and we'll work within whatever the building requires. Bring us the constraints. We'll figure out the logistics.

What happens to items you haul from Minneapolis homes?

We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. That includes furniture in usable condition, working appliances, and electronics that get processed through certified recycling rather than landfill. Minneapolis has strict e-waste and appliance disposal regulations, and we follow them. You don't have to sort anything or make calls to figure out what goes where. We handle that side of it.

Can you haul renovation debris from a Minneapolis remodel?

Absolutely. Old flooring, drywall, cabinets, tile, lumber scraps. Renovation debris removal is one of the more common calls we get from Minneapolis homeowners doing kitchen or bathroom work. If your project is ongoing and you'd rather have a bin on site, we also offer dumpster rental as a separate option. The two services have different buyer journeys, and we won't push one on you when the other fits better.

How is pricing determined for junk removal in Minneapolis?

Pricing is based on the volume your junk takes up in the truck. We don't charge by the item or by the hour. That means a garage packed with medium-sized stuff costs more than a single heavy appliance. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. Every job is different. Contact Junk Genius Minneapolis for an accurate estimate.

Do you handle carpet removal and disposal in Minneapolis?

Yes. Carpet is one of the more annoying things to deal with on your own because it's heavy, it's awkward to roll, and Minneapolis doesn't make it easy to dispose of. We pull it, roll it, haul it, and handle the carpet recycling and removal so you don't have to figure out where it goes. Works for both residential and rental properties.
