Your contractor finished the demo or remodel. The debris pile in your driveway — or the drywall dust and scrap lumber left in every room — didn't make it into the quote. We haul construction debris by the load, same-day when you call before 3 PM. Pricing is transparent: we tell you the number before we touch anything. Need ongoing debris hauling for an active construction project?

What Your Contractor’s Quote Doesn’t Include

Most general contractors price the build, not the cleanup. When the project wraps, the site doesn’t — and what’s left is usually your problem.

Almost Never Included

Drywall scraps and dust
Leftover tile and grout bags
Packaging from fixtures and appliances
Cut lumber and dimensional offcuts
Old appliances they swapped out
Demolished cabinet doors and hardware
Subfloor pieces and underlayment

What We Handle

All leftover construction materials
Demolished fixtures and cabinetry
Flooring: hardwood, tile, carpet
Appliances removed during remodel
Packaging and cardboard in volume
Bathroom tear-out debris
Any mixed load the contractor left

When to Book — Before or After Final Walkthrough?

Book us before your final walkthrough with the contractor. Clearing the debris gives you a clean view of the finished work — and means any punch-list items aren’t buried under leftover materials.

Most renovation cleanouts take 1–3 hours depending on volume. Same-day service is available in most areas. If you’re in the final week of a remodel, call ahead so we can hold a slot before your walkthrough date.

What Happens to the Debris

Mixed construction loads go to licensed disposal facilities. Before they do, we pull out what can be diverted:

Scrap metal — copper pipe, conduit, and steel components go to certified scrap recyclers
Clean wood — unpainted dimensional lumber can go to salvage partners where available
Concrete and masonry — clean material can be processed at aggregate recycling facilities rather than standard landfill

We don’t take asbestos-containing materials or regulated hazardous waste. Pre-1978 homes sometimes have asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, or ceiling texture. Have materials tested before demo in older homes. See what we don’t take for the full restricted list.

FAQ

Questions Answered.

How much does post-renovation debris removal cost? +

Renovation debris is priced by volume adjusted for weight — drywall and concrete cost more per cubic foot than furniture because they're denser. A single-room cleanout (one bathroom gut, one kitchen demo) typically runs $200–$500. A whole-home renovation cleanout runs $600–$1,500 depending on material type and volume. We give you the exact number after a walk-through, before anything gets loaded.

Why is construction debris removal priced differently from regular junk removal? +

Weight. Drywall, concrete, tile, and brick are significantly heavier than furniture and household items. A half-truck of drywall scrap weighs as much as a full truck of sofas. Disposal facilities charge by weight, so we price accordingly. We'll explain the pricing formula before we start — no surprises.

My contractor left a debris pile — can you come today? +

Often yes. Call before 3 PM and we can usually be there the same afternoon across Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro. If you're outside those metros, call to check availability in your area.

Do you work with contractors directly, not just homeowners? +

Yes. We work with remodelers, general contractors, and specialty subs across NC who need a reliable haul-away partner when a phase ends. If you're a contractor, ask about contractor rates and priority scheduling. We can be your standing cleanup crew.

Do you take concrete and heavy masonry? +

Yes, with a weight surcharge. Concrete, brick, stone, and pavers are accepted — but because they're so dense, heavy material loads are priced separately from standard debris. Tell us what you have when you call and we'll quote it accurately.

What if the debris is mixed — drywall, wood, tile, and garbage all together? +

Mixed loads are our most common renovation job. You don't need to sort it. We load everything, and mixed loads are priced by volume at a standard rate unless heavy material (concrete, brick) makes up a significant portion of the load.

Can you remove old cabinets, countertops, and fixtures from a kitchen remodel? +

Yes. Cabinets, countertops, sinks, vanities, tubs, and any pulled fixture are standard renovation debris. If the item is still installed and needs to be removed before hauling, that falls under our demolition services — see our [demolition services page](/what-we-take/demolition-services/).

Do you haul renovation debris from commercial projects? +

Yes — office remodels, retail buildouts, and commercial renovation cleanouts are handled the same way as residential jobs, priced by volume. For ongoing commercial projects, ask about contractor pricing and scheduled haul-away.

Why Junk Doctors

Why Customers Choose Us

Your Contractor Finished the Job — We Finish the Cleanup

Most renovation quotes don't include cleanup. Demo crews tear out the drywall; they don't always haul the pieces. Tile guys pull the floor; the broken tiles are your problem. We work with homeowners in Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro who have a finished renovation and a pile of debris that has nowhere to go. One call, one trip, one invoice — the pile is gone before your next contractor phase starts.

Construction Debris Is Priced Differently — Here's Why

Drywall, concrete, and tile are heavy. A half-truck of drywall scraps weighs more than a full truck of furniture. That's why construction debris removal is priced by weight-adjusted volume — not the same formula as a couch pickup. We'll tell you exactly what formula we're using before we start, so there are no surprises when the truck is full. A typical single-room renovation cleanout runs $200–$500. A whole-home gut job runs $600–$1,500 depending on material weight.

Same-Day Available When You Need the Driveway Back

The debris pile in the driveway isn't just an eyesore — it blocks your next contractor, frustrates your neighbors, and makes your finished renovation feel unfinished. Call before 3 PM and we're typically there the same afternoon. We work across the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex), Charlotte, and Greensboro markets. Call to confirm same-day availability in your area.

We Also Work With Contractors Directly

If you're a contractor and cleanup is the friction point that holds up your next project, we can be your standing haul-away partner. We've worked with remodelers, general contractors, and sub-contractors across NC who call us when a phase ends. You manage the build; we manage the debris. Ask about contractor rates and priority scheduling when you call.
