Our work in White Bear Lake

Junk removal in White Bear Lake doesn't need to be complicated. You call, we show up, we haul it. Junk Genius has been doing exactly that across the Twin Cities for about 15 years, and we're in White Bear Lake regularly. Whether it's an old fridge in the garage, a couch nobody wants to deal with, or a full house and garage cleanout after an estate situation, Mike's crew handles it. We carry MN License #3772090-2, and 1,987 Google reviews at 4.9 stars back up what we say we do. Call (612) 444-5865 and we'll get you scheduled, often within the same week.

White Bear Lake has a mix of older lakeside homes and established neighborhoods where stuff accumulates over decades. Attics fill up. Garages stop fitting cars. Sheds get packed and then forgotten. We know the area, we serve it consistently, and we're not a national franchise routing your call through a 1-800 number. Mike Reimann's name is on the truck. When something goes sideways, you're talking to the person who built this business, not a call center rep in another state.

What We Haul

From a Single Sofa to a Full White Bear Lake Cleanout

Most jobs in White Bear Lake fall into one of these categories. If yours doesn't, call us anyway.

Furniture Removal

Couches, mattresses, bed frames, dressers, recliners. We carry it out ourselves. You don't lift a thing, and we don't charge extra because something is on a second floor.

Appliance Removal

Old refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves. Appliances can't go in the trash, and most White Bear Lake residents don't have a way to haul one. We do. We also handle appliance recycling responsibly.

Garage and Attic Cleanouts

Older White Bear Lake homes collect decades of stuff up in the attic and out in the garage. We do the whole thing in one trip when possible. Call before a home sale, after an inheritance, or just because you're done looking at it.

Yard Debris and Shed Removal

Brush piles, old lumber, broken-down furniture left outside. If you've got a structure you no longer need, our shed removal service tears it down and hauls every piece.

Electronics Recycling

TVs, monitors, printers, computers. E-waste can't go to landfill in Minnesota. We recycle it correctly. The TV removal and recycling service handles flat screens and old CRT sets alike.

Hoarding Cleanouts

This kind of job needs a crew that moves efficiently and treats the space with respect. We don't make it harder than it already is. No judgment, no commentary. Just steady work until the job's done.

Why Junk Genius

What Makes This Different From Calling a 1-800 Number

Junk Genius is Minnesota-owned. It's been that way for about 15 years.

National junk removal franchises operate in White Bear Lake. You can call them. But you're getting a territory licensee whose connection to the local market goes as deep as a zip code list. Junk Genius was built here. Mike Reimann started hauling in the Twin Cities before most of those franchises had a Minnesota presence. The crew members reviewers mention by name, Sosa, Diego, Lester, are the people who show up. That's not a coincidence. We don't subcontract your job to whoever's available.

1,987Google reviews at 4.9 stars: The volume alone is unusual for this category. Read them and you'll see the same crew names appear repeatedly.
MN License #3772090-2: Verifiable. A competitor copying this number would be committing fraud, which is exactly why it matters more than any adjective.
MSW Hauling and Recycling Certifications: Crews are certified in waste management safety and recycling management. This is how we responsibly sort what we haul.
No subcontracting: The person who picks up is the person Mike trained. We don't hand your job to a third-party crew.

White Bear Lake Specifics

What We See Most Often in White Bear Lake Homes

White Bear Lake has a lot of homes built in the mid-twentieth century. Those houses come with attics full of things people meant to deal with, garages that absorbed thirty years of "we'll figure it out later," and occasionally a basement that became a storage unit nobody officially signed a lease on. After an estate transfer or a sale, there's often a significant amount of clearance work to do before the next owner takes over. That's exactly the kind of job we handle. If you're prepping a White Bear Lake property for sale or settling an estate and need a basement cleanout or full house cleanout, one call to (612) 444-5865 covers it. We also handle donation drop-off for anything still in usable condition, which cuts down the volume that actually needs to be disposed of.

Customer Reviews

What White Bear Lake and Twin Cities Customers Say

What did Brent Neveau say about the 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+.

How did Colin Joyce describe the crew's flexibility?

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.

What was Diane Hansmeier's experience comparing estimates?

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!

What did Riley Jay say about a garage cleanout after buying a house?

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.

How did Lisa Laughlin rate the value and communication?

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

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can Junk Genius schedule a pickup in White Bear Lake?

Most White Bear Lake jobs get scheduled within the same week. Depending on what's open on the calendar, we can sometimes get out in a day or two. Call (612) 444-5865 and we'll tell you exactly what's available. We're open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., so weekend appointments are a real option if your week is packed.

Do you handle full estate cleanouts in White Bear Lake?

Yes. Estate cleanouts are a significant part of what we do in the White Bear Lake area. Older homes in the neighborhood often have decades of accumulation across multiple rooms, attics, and garages. We can coordinate a full-property cleanout, sort what's donateable from what needs disposal, and clear everything in one or two visits depending on the scale. These jobs move faster than most people expect.

What happens to the junk you haul away from White Bear Lake homes?

We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Furniture in usable condition often goes to donation. Appliances and electronics get recycled through certified channels. Construction debris gets sorted for materials recovery where possible. We don't promise everything is reusable, but we don't default to landfill when there's a better option.

Can you remove large items from a White Bear Lake home without an elevator?

That's a standard part of the job. Attic pull-downs, steep basement stairs, two-story carries. We don't charge a separate flight fee because navigating older homes is just what hauling in this market requires. White Bear Lake has plenty of older two-story homes and tight garage layouts. The crew handles it. You point at what needs to go and we figure out the rest.

Do you take appliances from White Bear Lake properties?

Yes. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers. Minnesota has specific disposal requirements for appliances, particularly refrigerators with refrigerant. We handle the process correctly, which means you don't have to worry about it. Appliances are one of the most common single-item jobs we get called for in the White Bear Lake area. The appliance removal service covers pickup and responsible recycling.

Is the junk removal quote really free in White Bear Lake?

The quote is free and it happens on-site. The crew walks through what you need removed, assesses the volume and access, and gives you a firm price before a single item gets moved. If the number doesn't work for you, no charge and no obligation. We don't do estimates over the phone for complex jobs because volume and access conditions in White Bear Lake homes vary too much to quote accurately without seeing the space.
