We’re McJunk. We haul away what you don’t want, and we do every bit of the heavy lifting. Our shop is in northeast Raleigh, just down the road from Wake Forest.

Three easy steps

1. Snap and send. Text pictures of your junk to (919) 850-4377, or attach them to our quote form.
2. We price it and pick a day. Estimates are free.
3. We load up and go. We phone you roughly 15 to 20 minutes ahead of time. Later, we sort the load and donate or recycle everything we can.

Pricing goes by volume: the share of our truck your things take up. Smaller than we guessed? It costs less. It never costs more than the estimate.

Furniture, appliances and garage junk

Most calls are pretty simple. The garage turned into a storage unit. The spare room is stacked with boxes from the last move. The old fridge quit, or a new sofa is coming and the old one has to go.

We haul furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, tires, yard waste and lots more. Dried-out paint is fine too. Ask us how to dry out a leftover can. We do all the carrying. Nothing gets dragged to the curb.

Hoarder cleanouts at your own pace

A hoarder cleanout starts with a private talk, not a truck in the driveway. Maybe you’re worried about a parent’s place. Maybe it’s your own home and you’re ready for a change. Call or text and just ask questions. Estimates cost nothing, and you won’t get a hard sell.

We can go room by room, with spots for keep, donate and haul, so the person who lives there decides what stays, or we can clear the whole house if the family wants it all gone. Our crew wears protective gear when a home is unsanitary, and we keep things quiet and respectful from the first box to the last.

One limit: hazardous, chemical and biological waste can’t go on our truck. Learn more about our hoarder cleanout services.

Estate and whole-house cleanouts

Clearing a loved one’s home is hard work at a hard time. Grown kids, executors, realtors and attorneys all call us when a mom or dad has passed, gone into assisted living or decided to downsize. Live out of town? A single phone call or text gets the estimate going.

Before cleanout day, set aside the photos, papers and keepsakes the family wants. Then point us to the rest. We clear every room, plus the attic, garage, basement and any sheds. If the house was also packed full, one crew can handle both jobs at once. See our estate cleanout service for more.

Move-outs, rentals and property managers

Moves leave junk behind. Buyers close on a house and find a garage full of broken stuff. Sellers run out of time before closing. Landlords get a unit back full of trash and old furniture.

We clear houses, apartments, condos and rentals so the next step can start, and that next step might be fresh paint, new carpet, a new renter or a set of listing photos. Property managers can text us photos of a unit for a quote.

Offices, businesses and construction debris

Businesses collect junk too. When an office moves or remodels, we haul out old desks, chairs, cubicle parts, computers and boxes of files. Metal and old electronics go to recycling. Contractors call us to clear construction debris so the job keeps moving.

Commercial accounts can set up billing once credit is in place. Read about our commercial junk removal service.

Where your Wake Forest junk goes

We aim to keep 80% of what we haul out of the landfill. After a pickup, each item gets sorted by where it can do some good. Furniture and building supplies head to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, while clothes and furniture can go to Cause for Paws. Old sheets and towels help shelters such as the SPCA and Saving Grace. Toys go to Toys for Tots, and food goes to food banks.

Metal, and anything that plugs in or takes batteries, goes to a metal recycler. Paper, plastic, cardboard and glass go to a recycling center. Only the true leftovers end up at the county landfill. That matters here, since all that growth in Wake County means more trash headed for its one landfill. Our where the junk goes page lists every stop.

Rolesville and North Raleigh too

Wake Forest sits in the same corner of the map as our northeast Raleigh shop. We also serve nearby Rolesville and North Raleigh, including the Wakefield area. Past that, we cover Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle, from Knightdale and Franklinton to Durham, Cary and Apex.
