Junk Removal Las Cruces
Fort Smith Dumpster Co. hauls away furniture, appliances, yard waste, and whole-property cleanouts across Las Cruces and Doña Ana County. We load it, lift it, and dispose of it, so you never touch a thing. Single-item pickups in Las Cruces typically start around [$XX to $XX], and a full truckload runs [$XXX to $XXX]. Call [(575) XXX-XXXX] for a free quote, and in many cases we can be there the same day.
That is the difference between junk removal and a dumpster. With a dumpster, you do the loading. With us, our crew walks in, carries it out, and sweeps up after. You point, we lift.
Our Junk Removal Services in Las Cruces
We take almost anything that is not hazardous. Here is what people call us for most.
Furniture Removal
Couches, sectionals, recliners, dressers, tables, and bed frames. Old furniture is heavy, awkward on stairs, and does not fit in a car, which is exactly why people call. Our crew handles the lifting and the doorways so you do not throw out your back getting a sleeper sofa down a hallway. Couch removal, sofa haul-off, and full living-room clearouts are some of our most common jobs in Las Cruces.
Appliance Removal
Washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, and water heaters. Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerant and have to be handled correctly, and we do. Old appliances also do not belong in a regular landfill load. The SCSWA Recycling Center on West Amador takes scrap metal and white goods like refrigerators and freezers, so appliances we haul get routed to the right place instead of dumped.
Mattress Removal
Mattresses and box springs of every size. They are bulky, they are banned from many disposal streams, and they are miserable to move alone. We pull them straight from the bedroom, no dragging them through the house yourself.
Yard Waste Removal
Branches, brush, tree limbs, old fencing, dead cactus and shrubs, and the pile left behind after a xeriscape conversion. The valley makes a lot of green waste, especially after monsoon storms and spring windstorms. Note that green waste has its own disposal path in Las Cruces through the city’s Green Waste and Compost facility, and we sort accordingly rather than sending clean brush to the landfill.
Construction Debris Removal
Drywall, lumber, tile, flooring, cabinets, and remodel leftovers. If your contractor left a mess, or you did the demo yourself, we clear the site so the next phase can start. For larger ongoing construction, a roll-off dumpster is usually the cheaper route, and we will tell you honestly when that is the better call rather than sell you a service you do not need.
Estate and Foreclosure Cleanouts
Clearing an entire property is the hardest job on this list, and not just physically. We handle estate cleanouts after a loss, foreclosure and eviction cleanouts for landlords and banks, and downsizing moves for families. We work at your pace, set aside anything you want kept or donated, and clear the rest quietly. Coordinating from out of state? Many families here do. We work by phone and photos and send updates as the job goes.
Hot Tub and Shed Removal
The two jobs almost nobody wants to DIY. Hot tubs have to be drained, cut down, and hauled in pieces. Sheds have to be dismantled. We bring the tools and the crew and take the whole thing, pad or foundation debris included.
Cleanouts We Handle Across Las Cruces
A cleanout is a whole-space job, not a single item, and it is where our crew saves you the most time. Each of these is a common call in the valley.
Garage Cleanout
The garage collects a decade of everything: broken tools, old paint cans, dead exercise equipment, boxes nobody has opened since the last move. We clear the whole space in one visit and you park a car in there again. Paint and chemicals get flagged for the household hazardous waste program rather than tossed, which keeps you compliant and keeps the crew safe.
House Cleanout
Moving out, moving on, or clearing a home top to bottom. We work room by room, haul furniture, appliances, and clutter together, and leave the place broom-clean. Realtors and homeowners prepping a house for sale use this to turn a full property into a showable one in a single day.
Office and Commercial Cleanout
Old desks, chairs, filing cabinets, cubicle walls, and dead electronics. Businesses relocating, downsizing, or renovating call us to clear the space after hours so the workday is not interrupted. We can schedule around your operating hours and coordinate with a property manager on access.
Property and Rental Cleanout
Landlords and property managers around NMSU and across the city deal with tenant turnovers that leave behind whatever the last renter did not want. We clear the unit fast so it is rent-ready, and repeat accounts get priority scheduling. Foreclosure and eviction cleanouts fall here too, handled discreetly.
What We Take, and What We Don't
What We Take
We take the overwhelming majority of household and commercial items: furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, exercise equipment, patio sets, grills, carpet, construction and remodel debris, yard and green waste, boxes, and general clutter. If it fits in the truck and it is not on the banned list, it is fair game.
What We Can't Take
What we cannot take, by law and disposal rules: wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, pesticides, solvents, other chemicals, asbestos, and medical or biohazard waste. These go through the SCSWA household hazardous waste program, and the Recycling Center on West Amador accepts household hazardous waste from residents for safe disposal. If you are unsure about something in your pile, ask when you call. We would rather tell you up front than leave a surprise item behind on pickup day.
How Our Junk Removal Process Works
Four steps, no surprises.
Request a Free Quote
Call [(575) XXX-XXXX] or send a photo of your pile by text. We price junk removal by how much room it takes in the truck, so a photo usually gets you a real number fast. No walk-through fee, no obligation.
Schedule Your Pickup
Pick a window that works. We run same-day and next-day pickups across Las Cruces when the schedule allows, and we call ahead before we roll up so you are not sitting around waiting.
We Remove Your Junk
The crew shows up, confirms the price before touching anything, and does the lifting. Stairs, tight hallways, back yards, second floors, we handle it. You point at what goes.
Responsible Disposal and Recycling
This is where a good hauler earns it. We do not just drive everything to the landfill. Appliances and scrap metal go to the SCSWA Recycling Center, usable furniture and household goods go to local donation centers when they are in good shape, green waste goes to the compost facility, and only what is truly trash goes to the Corralitos Regional Landfill. Sorting takes us longer. It is the right way to do it.
Junk Removal vs a Dumpster Rental: Which Do You Need?
Straight answer, because it saves you money. Choose junk removal when you have a defined pile, you do not want to do the lifting, or the job is a one-day clearout: a few rooms of furniture, an appliance or two, a garage, an estate. Choose a dumpster when you are doing a multi-day project and will fill it yourself over time, like a full remodel or a roof tear-off. Junk removal is labor included and faster; a dumpster is cheaper per pound if you supply the muscle. Not sure which fits? Tell us the job on the phone and we will point you to the cheaper option, even when that is the dumpster.

How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Las Cruces?
Junk removal in Las Cruces is priced by volume, meaning how much space your stuff takes in the truck, plus labor and disposal. As a market reference, single bulky items in this area commonly start around [$70 to $100], and full-service jobs range from roughly [$100 to $800] depending on load size, with the local average landing near [$270]. Heavier loads and items that need special handling, like refrigerators or hot tubs, sit at the higher end.
Here is what actually moves the price:
Volume. A quarter-truck costs less than a full truck. The more you clear at once, the lower the per-item cost, which is why bundling a whole garage beats calling three separate times.
Item type. Standard furniture is easy. Refrigerators and freezers carry a small handling fee because of refrigerant rules, and mattresses sometimes do because of disposal restrictions.
Access. Curbside is quickest. Second-floor, backyard, or long-carry jobs take more crew time. Tell us up front and the quote holds.
Disposal fees. Some material costs more to dispose of than to haul. We fold that into the quote so the number you hear is the number you pay.
We give every price before we lift anything. No hourly surprises, no charge for the estimate.

Where Your Junk Goes, and Why It Matters
Not every hauler thinks past the landfill, and in Doña Ana County that difference is real. The South Central Solid Waste Authority runs the disposal system here: the Corralitos Regional Landfill sits about 15 miles west of Las Cruces along Interstate 10 on a 600-acre engineered, lined site, while the Recycling Center on West Amador takes glass, electronics, scrap metal, and appliances like refrigerators and freezers, and the city’s Green Waste and Compost facility handles clean brush and yard debris.
Because those separate streams exist, a load of mixed junk should not all end up buried. We pull the recyclable metal and appliances, route clean green waste to compost instead of the landfill, and set aside furniture and household goods that a local donation center can still use. What is left, the true trash, is the only part that goes to Corralitos. It takes our crew more sorting time, and it is the reason a job done right is worth more than the cheapest truck that dumps everything in one pile. Eco-friendly disposal is not a slogan here; it is just using the facilities the county already built.
Junk Removal for Every Situation
People call us at very different moments, and the job looks different each time. After a monsoon storm or a spring windstorm, it is downed limbs, ruined fencing, and water-damaged furniture hauled out fast. During a move, it is the furniture and clutter that will not make the trip. For a growing family, it is clearing the garage or spare room to make space. For an aging parent downsizing, it is a careful, patient clearout with the family setting aside what matters. For a business, it is old office furniture and equipment gone over a weekend. Same crew, same upfront pricing, whatever the reason.
