About us
Local truck. Local crew. Local number.
No franchise fees baked into your price, no call center three states away. Ring the number and you get someone who’ll actually be on the job.
Most of this job is carrying things down stairs.
JP's Junk Removal runs on a pretty simple idea: the hard part of getting rid of stuff isn't the dump run, it's everything before it. Wrestling a sleeper sofa up the basement stairs. Working out who even takes an old TV. Finding a Saturday you're willing to burn on it.
So we just took all of that. You point at what's going, we price it on the spot, and if the number works we load it right then. No clock running while we stand around, no second trip, and nobody asking you to grab the heavy end.
We cover Dubuque and the tri-state around it, and we're over into Wisconsin and Illinois all the time. What we haul gets sorted — donation first, recycling second, transfer station only for what's truly finished.
Say hi
Tell us what you’ve got and we’ll give you a number.
What are we hauling?
Closest match is fine.
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.
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.
