Do you charge Colorado sales tax on junk removal?

No. Colorado doesn't tax the junk-removal service, and there's no separate refuse tax riding on top — so your flat photo-quote is genuinely all-in. Sofa $170, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221; cleanouts price as truck-fill from $325 (1/4) to $985 (full). $75 minimum, disposal included, nothing added the day of. See the full Denver pricing guide.

Do you offer same-day pickup?

Usually, when a crew and truck slot are open. Send a photo and we'll give you the soonest real window — often same- or next-day across Denver, Aurora, and the suburbs. See same-day removal.

Which suburbs do you serve?

Denver plus Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Englewood, Commerce City, Thornton, and Westminster. Golden and the far-south Douglas/Arapahoe communities come in a later phase.

Do you clear full basements and garages?

Yes — it's the single most common job we do here. Unlike a lot of Sun Belt cities, Denver homes have basements, and the Denver Squares and bungalows in Wash Park, Park Hill, and Platt Park are full of decades of dry-climate storage. We carry it up the basement stairs or out of the attached or detached garage and price the whole thing as a flat truck-fill. See basement cleanout and garage cleanout.

No elevator, just stairs — is there a surcharge?

No. The 1900s brick walk-ups in Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park mean stair-carries are normal here — but Denver is flat, so there's no hill drama and no per-flight fee. Up or down the stairs, it's in the flat price.

Do you take pop-top and scrape-off renovation debris?

Yes. Denver's teardown market — second-story pop-tops and scrape-off rebuilds in the Highlands, Berkeley, Wash Park, and Sloan's Lake — generates whole-house pre-demo cleanouts and C&D debris (drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures). We handle it, tarp every load, and price heavy construction debris as its own volume line. See pop-top & scrape-off debris.

Can you take my fridge — doesn't it have freon?

Yes, and that's exactly why you need a hauler: refrigerant appliances are excluded from Denver's Large Item Pickup, so the city won't take a fridge or freezer. We recover the refrigerant with EPA-certified handling and scrap the metal. See appliance removal.

Can I just leave a mattress at the curb?

No — you can't put a mattress out for regular Denver trash. Denver's Large Item Pickup only takes it bagged and wrapped, and only about every nine weeks. We haul it the same day and route it to a mattress recycler. See mattress removal.

What about TVs and old electronics?

Colorado bans TVs, computers, monitors, and printers from landfills (SB12-133), and they're excluded from Large Item Pickup — so residents genuinely can't self-solve them. We recycle them properly through a certified e-cycler rather than dumping them. See TV & electronics removal.

Can you handle a building COI and freight elevator?

Yes. The LoDo, RiNo, and Cherry Creek towers require a Certificate of Insurance naming building management (typically $1M general liability) before the freight elevator can be used, and there's no curb — everything goes out the loading dock. We file the COI, reserve the elevator and dock window, and the wait is already in the flat price.

What happens to my stuff?

We route usable furniture and goods to donation — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and the Salvation Army — and recycle appliances and electronics per Colorado's rules, rather than dumping. On estate and downsizing jobs, donation can mean a tax receipt.
