Responsible area rug disposal & recycling

We recycle and donate as much as possible to reduce landfill waste and give old items a new life. We partner with local charities to donate items that are in good condition and make every effort to repurpose the items we collect. 

If your area rug is too worn out to donate, we’ll dispose of it responsibly. Unusable items are taken to local recycling facilities or transfer stations, where recyclable components like wood frames, metal hardware, foam, and fabrics can be broken down and turned into new products instead of ending up in a landfill.

How our area rug removal pricing works

We charge by volume, which is how much space your items take up in the truck. We have a minimum charge for very small loads; from there, prices go from 1/8th of a truck up to a full truckload. We also have special pricing if you only have one single item. We can give you an exact price once we see the items in person.

Our prices include everything

  • Junk removal from anywhere--no need to move items out
  • Our friendly teams, who are fully licensed and insured
  • All lifting, loading, and cleanup
  • Disposal and environmental fees

Frequently asked questions

Why should you hire a professional area rug disposal service?

Getting rid of an old area rug is often more complicated than it looks. Hiring a professional team like 1-800-GOT-JUNK? makes the process fast, safe, and stress-free.

Here are the benefits of using us over DIY or city pickup:

Professional service vs. DIY disposal

  • Save your vehicle–and your back: Heavy furniture can damage your vehicle and lead to injuries if you try hauling it yourself. We have the trucks and the team to handle it safely.
  • Effortless removal: Our full-service team handles the heavy lifting, maneuvering, and loading, right from where your items are located.
  • No prep work required: Unlike taking it to the dump yourself, you don’t need to disassemble the area rug or break it down beforehand. We take it as-is.

Junk removal service vs. city bulk pickup

  • Pickup from anywhere: City services usually require you to drag heavy furniture to the curb. We’ll remove your area rug from anywhere on your property, whether it’s in the basement, bedroom, or garage.
  • Flexible scheduling: Municipal pickup often requires appointments weeks in advance or only happens on specific days. We offer same-day and after-hours service to fit your schedule.
  • One-stop junk solution: We take more than just area rugs. Whether you’re clearing one room or an entire property, we can remove everything in a single visit, leaving your space clutter-free. 

How quickly can you pick up my item?

We can be there as quickly as you need. We offer same-day service and flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, to make booking easy. If you book today, there is a great chance we can be there today.

Do I need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Nope! You don't need to wrap, tape, or clean the item before we get there. Our team will handle the entire removal safely and efficiently.

Do I need to carry my item out to the curb?

Not at all! Whether your item is in the basement, a third-floor bedroom, or the backyard, we will pick it up from wherever it is located and load it into the truck for you.

Can I leave my item on the curb or by a dumpster?

Leaving large furniture curbside without a scheduled bulk pickup is often considered illegal dumping and may result in local fines. Standard garbage trucks are also not typically equipped to handle bulky furniture, so they may leave it behind. We ensure your item is disposed of responsibly so you can avoid the hassle.

What happens to my item after you pick it up?

We prioritize keeping items out of the landfill. If your item is in good condition, we’ll do our best to donate it to a local charity. If it’s too damaged or worn out, we will take it to a specialized facility where materials like wood, metal, and textiles can be processed and reused.

Do you take other furniture items?

Yes, we take all types of furniture and almost any non-hazardous items. If our two-person team can carry it, we can remove it.

What condition must an item be in to be donated?

To be donated, an item should be in good, usable condition with minimal damage. While we accept items with light wear, charities generally look for furniture free of major structural issues. If your item is no longer fit for donation, we’ll still pick it up and ensure as many parts as possible are recycled.

What parts of an item are recyclable?

Most furniture is made of highly recyclable materials. This includes wood frames, metal hardware or springs, and various plastic components. For items like rugs or upholstered seating, the natural and synthetic fibers can often be recycled as well.

Don’t just take our word for it

Real customer reviews, typos and all ;)

Markel and Will came out and were amazing! They helped get rid of some hard stuff that we had trouble moving. They were super friendly and very professional and we would love for them to come back and help again when we need to get rid of some more junk in the future.

Antonio and Kevin were great to work with! They came out on a cold snowy evening and were so professional and kind! They were quick and hauled away items from our basement and other yard items. We were calling places to compare prices and they were the most responsive and fair company!

I needed some stuff picked up late on a Friday and 1-800-GOT-JUNK was able to make it happen in less than an hour. Holly showed up and loaded the truck up in no time at all. If you need something picked up with no hassle, give them a call.
