Pulling up worn, stained, or water-damaged carpet is dirty, tiring work. We rip it out, roll it up, and haul every scrap away so your subfloor is clean and ready.
Call (256) 967-3054Free quote · Fast pickups across the ShoalsRipping up carpet looks simple until you are on your knees prying staples out of plywood and wrestling with a roll that weighs more than you expected. Shoals Junk Removal takes that whole chore off your hands across Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and the rest of Northwest Alabama. We pull the carpet, tear out the padding, pop the tack strips, and sweep the subfloor so the room is a clean slate for tile, hardwood, laminate, or fresh carpet.
People call us for all kinds of flooring situations. A few of the most common:
We handle the pad and tack strip too, not just the top layer, and we bag the staples and debris so you are not stepping on anything sharp later.
Plenty of our carpet calls are from DIY homeowners who are glad to lay their own flooring but do not want to deal with hauling the old material to the dump. We can pull everything for you, or simply pick up carpet you have already rolled and stacked. Either way works.
Carpet is bulky, so we price it the same way we price the rest of our hauling: by how much space the rolled-up material and debris take in the truck. Tell us the rooms or rough square footage when you call and we will give you a ballpark on the spot. On site you get a firm, flat quote before we start pulling, so the number is settled up front. There is a modest minimum for small loads, and we will let you know if a job clears it.
Carpet is not something a thrift store can reuse, but we still keep it out of the trash where we can. Clean padding and certain carpet backings can be recycled through the right channels, and any metal tack strip goes with our scrap loads. Whatever cannot be diverted is taken to a proper disposal site, never dumped.
From older homes near downtown Florence to rentals in Sheffield and Tuscumbia, we cover the Shoals region and often have same-week or next-day openings. If you are already tearing out floors, look at our light demolition and construction debris removal pages too.

Point out what's going and relax — it all gets hauled out, from upstairs bedrooms to packed crawl spaces.
You hear the full cost before we touch anything, priced by how much space the load fills — no surprises.
Call in the morning and same-day pickup is often open; next-day is standard across the Shoals.
Usable furniture and appliances go to local charities, metal to scrap yards — dumping is the last resort.
You reach people who live and work in the Shoals, not a national call center that's never been here.
From one couch to a whole warehouse — homes, rentals, offices, storefronts, and job sites.
Yes. Unless you tell us otherwise, we take the carpet, the pad underneath, and the tack strips along the walls, then sweep the subfloor so it is ready for your next flooring.
Absolutely. If you have already rolled and stacked the old carpet, we can come load and haul it. If you would rather we do the tear-out, we handle that too.
We price by how much room the rolled carpet and debris take up in the truck, with a firm flat quote given on site before we start. For a ballpark, call or text (256) 967-3054 with the rooms or square footage.
We do. We bag loose staples and debris and sweep the subfloor before we leave, so you are not left with a mess to handle before the new floor goes down.
