What Does TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK Actually Take?
Written By: DaShawn Williams
We always get tons of questions about what we actually take and what we don’t take. I would say it is probably one of the most common questions we hear. To be short, the answer is probably more than you think.
Our junk removal services go far beyond day-to-day operations. Tons of people assume junk removal is only for large cleanouts or piles of trash, like old couches, dressers, and big bulky items, but that's not always the case.
Here at TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK®, we strive to help residences and businesses remove a wide variety of unwanted items from places like their homes, garages, basements, storage units, and offices. If you're looking around your home or business wondering what can go, here's a good place to start.
Furniture and Household Items
You guessed it correctly; furniture is one of the most common things we remove. It doesn’t matter if you are replacing old furniture or finally getting rid of pieces that have just been sitting there in the basement for years, we can help. Here are some of the most common furniture and items we take:
• Couches
• Recliners
• Bed frames
• Dressers
• Dining room tables
• Entertainment centers
• Chairs
• Bookshelves
• Household décor
If you just have this taking up valuable space in your home and you no longer want it, we probably can haul it away.
Appliances
Have you ever moved a large appliance? They are not just heavy; they are also super difficult to move. So instead of trying to wrestle them through your home where you’ll probably hurt yourself, let our team handle the heavy lifting. It is our job to be trained in how to remove these safely and efficiently.
Here are some common appliances we remove:
• Freezers
• Washers
• Dryers
• Dishwashers
• Stoves
• Microwaves
Electronics
I have firsthand experience knowing electronics tend to pile up over the years. First, it starts with an old TV where the screen is all messed up and then maybe your old computer that is so slow. Perhaps it's a printer collecting dust in the office, or a box full of cords you've been hanging onto "just in case."
We can remove many types of electronics, including:
• Computer monitors
• Desktop computers
• Printers
• Speakers
Exercise Equipment
It is okay, you can be honest here. This is a safe place. A lot of you have bought a piece of workout equipment with good intentions, but then maybe just never used it and over the years that treadmill, exercise bike, elliptical, or weight bench kind of ended up becoming an expensive clothing rack. We are all guilty of it, but these items are large, heavy, and difficult to move. With that, it kind of makes them perfect candidates for junk removal.
Garage, Basement, and Storage Unit Cleanouts
Garages, basements, and storage units are the first places that start filling up with stuff. You throw something in there because you don't know what to do with it, then you do it again, and before you know it there's barely any room left. Old furniture, boxes, tools, decorations... it all just kind of piles up over time. If that sounds like your house, that's exactly the type of stuff we can help get rid of.
Office Furniture and Business Items
A lot of our customers don’t know this, but we don’t just do junk removal for residential. We also do businesses as well! A lot of time businesses call us when they're remodeling an office, replacing furniture, or simply making room for something new.
We commonly remove:
• Desks
• Office chairs
• Filing cabinets
• Cubicles
• Shelving
• Office equipment
Building Materials and Scrap Metal
During our Community Clean Out Day on July 11, 2026, we accepted building materials and scrap metal.
Some examples include:
• Lumber
• Trim
• Doors
• Cabinets
• Metal shelving
• Other reusable building materials
If you're wrapping up a home improvement project or cleaning out leftover materials, these are often items we can help remove.
What We Can't Accept
As much as we'd love to say we take everything, there are a few items we simply can't accept because of safety and environmental regulations.
Some of those items include:
• Paint
• Chemicals
• Hazardous waste
• Propane tanks
• Tires
Every now and then someone has an item they're not quite sure about. Gasoline, automotive fluids, pesticides, certain batteries, and other hazardous materials are a few things that usually have different disposal rules depending on where you live. If that's you, just ask us. We'd rather spend a minute answering your question than have you set something aside expecting us to take it when we can't.
Why People Choose Junk Removal
One thing I think people get wrong is they assume junk removal is only for huge cleanouts. That's definitely not the case. We've helped people get rid of one item before, and we've also helped clean out entire homes. Maybe you're moving, remodeling, cleaning out the basement, or just finally getting rid of things you don't use anymore. Every job is different.
My Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if you're getting rid of one item or cleaning out an entire house. If it's taking up space and you don't want it anymore, there's a good chance we can help. We haul away everything from furniture and appliances to electronics, office furniture, building materials, and a whole lot more. If you're looking at something and thinking, "I wonder if they'll take this," just give us a call. We'd rather answer that question ahead of time than have you sitting there guessing.
