Junk Removal
One couch or a garage packed to the door. We carry it out, sweep up, and haul it off — same day when we can swing it.
Dubuque & the tri-state area
Point at it.
We'll haul it off.
Furniture, appliances, a garage you can’t park in, a whole estate, a pile of tear-out. We do the lifting, tell you the price before anything moves, and sweep up on the way out.

What we haul
If you want it gone, it's probably on this list.
One couch or a whole house — same deal either way. We look at it, tell you the price, and if you're good with it we load it right then.
Property & Estate Cleanouts
Whole houses, estates, rental turnovers, foreclosures. Emptied, swept, and ready to list or re-rent.
Construction Debris Removal
Tear-out and jobsite debris cleared when you need it gone — drywall, lumber, shingles, concrete, fixtures.
Before & after
This is the bit you're actually paying for.
Not a truck in the driveway — a room you can walk into again. Drag the handle.
Stock photos, not one of our jobs — ask us for references nearby and we'll give you some.
Why folks call us
Everyone's got the same four complaints about junk guys.
Surprise pricing. No-shows. Being told to move it yourself. A mess left behind. Here's how we deal with each one.
The price we say is the price you pay
We quote it standing in front of it, before anything moves. No clock running, no weight surcharge on the invoice, no awkward phone call halfway through.
You don't have to drag it outside
Basement, attic, back bedroom, up two flights — we'll go get it. If it's heavy and awkward, that's kind of the whole job.
Call in the morning, gone by dinner
A lot of the time, anyway. If the day's already full we'll just say so instead of leaving you wondering.
The landfill is the last stop, not the first
Good furniture goes to a donation center. Metal, cardboard and old electronics get recycled. Only the truly done-for stuff goes to the transfer station.
You're calling us, not a call center
No franchise, no dispatcher three states away, no script. The person on the phone is the person who shows up.
We sweep up before we go
Small thing, but it's the difference between a truck showing up and a room you can actually use again.
How this goes
Three steps, and only the first one is yours.
- 01
Tell us what's going
Call or fill in the form. A photo of the pile helps, but honestly a rough description gets us close enough.
- 02
We come look and give you a number
Flat price, based on how much room it takes up in the trailer. Don't like the number? We drive off. Costs you nothing.
- 03
It's gone before we leave
Say the word and we start loading. We sweep up after, then sort out what can be donated or recycled back at the yard.
Kicking the tires
Don't take our word for it. Go look.
We could stick five glowing quotes on here and you'd have no way of knowing if they were real. So instead: pull up Google Maps, search JP's Junk Removal, and read whatever's there. Good and bad.
Want to talk to an actual customer? Ask us when we come quote. We'll hand you a name and number from a job down the road.
Where we go
Dubuque, and pretty much an hour in any direction.
We're over the river into Illinois and Wisconsin all the time, so those are no trouble. Town not on the list? Call anyway — odds are we'll still come out.

Not sure we come out that far?

Stuff people ask
The questions we get on every call.
So what does this actually cost?
It comes down to how much room your stuff takes up in the truck — not weight, not hours. You get the number on site before anything is loaded, and it doesn't move once we start. Want a ballpark before we drive out? Send us a photo and we'll get you close over the phone.
Do I have to be there?
Nope. A good chunk of our work is rental turnovers and estates where nobody's around. As long as we can get to the stuff and you've okayed the price, we'll handle it and send you photos when it's done.
Do I need to drag it all outside first?
Please don't — that's the part you're paying us for. Basement, stairs, back bedroom, doesn't matter. You point, we lift.
Can you come out today?
A lot of the time, yes — depends how the day is already stacked up. Give us a call and we'll tell you straight away instead of stringing you along.
Where does my stuff end up?
Anything still usable goes to a local donation center. Metal, cardboard and old electronics get recycled. Only the genuinely finished stuff ends up at the transfer station. Need a donation receipt for taxes? Ask and we'll sort it.
Is there anything you won't take?
Hazardous stuff is the one no — wet paint, solvents, asbestos, chemicals, medical waste. Just about everything else is fair game, including fridges and AC units with refrigerant, which we dispose of properly. Not sure about something? Call and describe it.
Want it gone?
Tell us what you've got and we'll give you a price. If it works for you, it can be out of there today.
