Out of the basement and off your hands

Basements have a way of swallowing whatever you are not ready to part with. Old furniture, boxes that came down during a move and never left, retired appliances, and damp cardboard that has been sitting for years. Getting it all back up the stairs is exhausting, especially when the pieces are heavy or awkward. Shoals Junk Removal takes care of the whole job for homeowners across Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and the Shoals region. We haul everything up and out and clean up behind us.

What we clear out of a basement

Basement loads are often the heaviest in the house, and they can include:

For specific heavy items, see our pages on furniture removal, appliance removal, and exercise equipment removal. If your basement flooded or holds soaked carpet, our carpet removal service can help too.

We do the stairs, you stay put

The reason most people put off a basement cleanout is the staircase, and that is exactly the part we handle. Our crew carries every piece up the steps, through the door, and out to the truck. You never have to lift, drag, or navigate a heavy load on the stairs.

How pricing and scheduling work

Describe how full the basement is and what the stairs are like when you call or text, and we will give you a ballpark on the spot. On site we look over the load and hand you a firm, flat quote before we start, so the price is settled before any lifting. We charge by how much room your items fill in the truck, with a small add-on for especially heavy pieces. A minimum applies to very small loads, and there is never an upcharge for stairs or a long carry.

Donating and recycling before the landfill

Even things stored away for years often still have use. Usable furniture, working appliances, and household goods go to donation centers and thrift outlets around the Shoals whenever we can. Metal, cardboard, and electronics are recycled. Only what is truly finished gets disposed of properly. It keeps good items in the community and costs you nothing more.

Basement help across the Quad Cities

From walk-out basements in Florence to cellar storage in Sheffield and Tuscumbia, we serve the Quad Cities and the broader Shoals area, often with same-week availability. Many households pair a basement cleanout with a garage cleanout to clear all their storage at once.

Is there an extra charge for stairs or a long carry?

No. We do not add fees for stairs, tight doorways, or carrying items a long way to the truck. The quote we give you on site is the price you pay.
