Junk Removal in Garland, TX
Heavy furniture, appliances, garage and estate cleanouts and remodel debris across Richardson's eastern neighbor.
Embree, Duck Creek and Garland
Garland was incorporated in 1891 from two rival towns, Embree and Duck Creek, and named for U.S. Attorney General Augustus Hill Garland, according to its history. It grew quickly after World War II, from just over 10,000 people in 1950 to about 81,500 by 1970, and counted 246,018 in 2020.
Much of its housing dates from that postwar growth, which means plenty of homes now due for estate cleanouts, remodels and garages that have been filling up for decades.
How Garland's Curb Pickup Works
Garland picks up brush and bulky goods weekly, on the same day as the green trash cart, according to the city's sanitation page:
- Weight limitIndividual items over 40 pounds are not collected.
- TimingBulky items go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before.
- Separate pilesBrush, bulky items, appliances and bagged grass in separate piles at least four feet apart.
- Not at the curbMasonry, concrete, rocks, tires, dirt, pallets and roofing.
- Construction debrisOnly from a resident's own remodel, up to four times a year.
When Hiring Makes Sense in Garland
The 40-pound limit rules out a lot of furniture and most appliances. Add items that are still inside, a contractor's remodel debris, or more than four remodel set-outs a year, and hiring a hauler is often the practical choice.
Garland Jobs That Need a Hauler
Recliners, solid wood dressers, refrigerators, washers, treadmills and mattresses in heavy frames often weigh more than 40 pounds, so they are left at the curb under the city's rule. Contractor debris, masonry and roofing are excluded altogether. Those are the jobs that come up most often in Garland, along with estate cleanouts in older postwar homes and garage cleanouts that have waited too long.
Hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday through Sunday. Same-day service may be available, depending on the schedule and the size of the job.
