Our work in University Park

Junk removal in University Park doesn't have to be a weekend-long ordeal. Junk Genius has been hauling for Twin Cities homeowners for about 15 years, and the crew Mike Reimann built has logged nearly 2,000 five-star jobs across the metro. If you've got a garage full of stuff you haven't touched in two years, a basement that's starting to feel like a storage unit, or a single fridge that nobody wants to deal with, one call to (612) 444-5865 gets it scheduled, often the same week.

University Park sits close enough to Minneapolis that we're familiar territory here. Whether you're clearing out ahead of a move, dealing with an inherited property, or just finally tackling that corner of the basement you've been stepping around, Junk Genius serves University Park with the same crew and the same standards as every other job. Licensed in Minnesota under #3772090-2, and operating seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., we're not hard to reach when you're ready.

WHY IT PILES UP

The Junk in University Park Homes Doesn't Disappear on Its Own

It takes about ten minutes to decide something is junk and about ten months to actually do anything about it.

Here's how it usually goes. You move an old couch to the garage to make room. Then the garage fills up. Then you stop parking in the garage. Then a year passes. Sound familiar? University Park homes accumulate stuff the same way every house does, and the problem isn't willpower. It's that hauling bulk items yourself means renting a truck, finding a dump, paying disposal fees, and losing a Saturday. Most people decide it's not worth it and walk past the pile again. That's exactly the cycle we break. Call (612) 444-5865 and the crew shows up, loads everything, and it's gone before lunch.

WHAT WE HAUL

What Junk Genius Takes Out of University Park Properties

From single-item pickups to full-property cleanouts, here's what the crew handles regularly.

Furniture Removal

Sofas, sectionals, recliners, bed frames, dressers. The stuff that's too heavy to carry to the curb and too bulky for a standard haul. We load it, we take it, and we sort what can be donated from what can't.

Appliance Removal & Disposal

Old fridges, washers, dryers, stoves, and dishwashers. We handle responsible recycling on appliances so they don't end up in a landfill when there's a better option available.

Garage Cleanout

The most common call we get. A garage cleanout in University Park might mean clearing decades of accumulated tools, sporting equipment, boxes nobody has opened, and furniture from three moves ago.

Yard Debris Removal

Storm cleanup, brush piles, old lumber from a deck project, or just the kind of yard waste that composting won't solve. Yard debris removal is a seasonal reality for Minnesota properties.

Estate Cleanout

Sorting through a family member's belongings is hard enough without adding the physical labor. Our estate cleanout services are handled with care, and we donate what we can to local charity partners.

Electronics Recycling

Old TVs, monitors, computers, and printers can't just go in the trash. We sort and recycle e-waste responsibly so you're not stuck wondering what to do with a 2009 desktop that won't turn on.

REAL REVIEWS

What Customers Say After the Truck Leaves

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.

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!

Lisa Laughlin

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

Colin Joyce

Sosa and Diego did a wonderful job! We ended up having more junk than we initially planned, but they were accommodating and kind. They got done very quickly but still managed to do a very thorough job. I would recommend this company.

LOCAL HAULING

Why University Park Calls a Minnesota-Owned Crew

There are national franchise junk removal brands operating across the Twin Cities. They run call centers, dispatch subcontractors, and you often don't know who's actually showing up. Junk Genius isn't built that way. Mike Reimann's name is on the license and has been for about 15 years. The crew is local, the trucks are local, and when something goes sideways on a job, there's a real person to call. That's not a brand promise. It's just how a 16-year owner-operated business works. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. If you've been putting off a hoarding cleanout or a storage unit cleanout because the whole thing feels like too much to manage, that's actually when calling us is the right move.

QUESTIONS

University Park Junk Removal: Common Questions

How quickly can Junk Genius schedule a pickup in University Park?

Most University Park jobs get scheduled within the same week, and same-day availability comes up more often than you'd think, especially mid-week. Call (612) 444-5865 in the morning and there's a real chance we can get a crew out that afternoon. We're open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so weekends work too if that's easier for your schedule.

What happens to the stuff you haul out of University Park homes?

We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Furniture in decent shape, working appliances, and reusable materials get sorted before anything goes to disposal. If you've got items you specifically want donated, tell us when you book and we'll note it. University Park pickups follow the same process as every other job we run.

Do you handle full garage cleanouts in University Park, or just single items?

Both, and everything in between. Single-item pickups like a couch or a fridge are common. So are full garage cleanouts where we clear out years of accumulated stuff in a single visit. The crew does all the carrying, so you don't have to sort or stack anything ahead of time. Just point us in the right direction and we'll handle the rest.

Can you take appliances from a University Park property that are still working?

Yes. Working appliances we'll sort for donation or recycling whenever possible. Non-working appliances get recycled through our standard process. Either way, you're not stuck with a dead fridge sitting in your garage or a washer that the next tenant doesn't want. Appliance removal is one of the most common single-item calls we get from the University Park area.

What should I do to prepare before the Junk Genius crew arrives in University Park?

Honestly? Not much. You don't need to sort anything, bag it up, or drag it to the curb. The crew will walk through, confirm what's going, and load it directly. If there are items you want to keep mixed in with stuff you're clearing out, just set those aside or put a note on them. The whole point is that you're not doing the heavy lifting. That's our job.

Does Junk Genius handle estate cleanouts in University Park?

Yes, and it's a job we take seriously. Going through a family member's property is already hard. Our estate cleanout services are handled carefully, we work at whatever pace the situation calls for, and we donate what we can rather than dumping everything. If you're managing an inherited University Park property and don't know where to start, a phone call is the right first step.
