Dominic at Reno Tahoe Junk Removal handles debris removal in Reno and across the Reno-Tahoe area. That means drywall and lumber from a remodel, branches from the yard, an old shed coming down or carpet pulled up from a bedroom. Junk removal covers the stuff itself, like the couch, the fridge in the basement or an office full of old desks. If it's bagged trash or things to donate, that's garbage collection. If you'd rather fill a roll-off yourself, that's a dumpster rental. Debris removal is the waste a project or a yard leaves behind, plus any tear-out that comes before the haul.

The minimum is $80. You text a photo of the pile, and the price is set by how much room the load takes on the truck. It's a quote for the whole job, with loading, hauling and disposal inside it, dump fees included. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed. Payment is cash, credit or debit card, Venmo, Zelle or check. The Reno pricing guide walks through how he charges, since that's the question he hears most.

A lot of debris jobs mix a few of these together, like a bathroom tear-out with old carpet from the hall and branches waiting in the yard. Before loading, he explains the work. When the load is out, he cleans up the area and does a final walkthrough with you. For cleanouts, trash hauling and dumpsters, see the page with every service Dominic offers. The guide to what goes on the truck covers the few things he won't take.

Construction debris removal in Reno

New builds and additions leave scrap lumber, broken drywall, empty boxes and offcuts stacked by the garage. Construction debris removal gets that pile loaded and hauled once the framing or finish work wraps up, so the lot is clear before the next trade arrives. The load rides on a silver Ford pickup towing a black Texas Pride dump trailer, 16 feet by 7 feet with 4 foot sides. The price is set by how much room the load takes on it. Scrap lumber and broken drywall go to the Carson City landfill or the Stead landfill.

Yard debris removal in Reno

A fallen limb or a pile of dead shrubs you pulled out of a bed can sit in the yard for weeks. Yard debris removal clears that pile wherever it ended up in your yard. It doesn't need to be moved anywhere first. He drives up to 75 miles for a job, so a brush pile at a place in Truckee or Fallon still counts. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470.

Light demolition in Reno

Some jobs need a little taking apart before anything can be hauled. Light demolition covers small tear-downs like an old swing frame or a run of shelving bolted into the garage wall. He has hauled an old 4,000 pound concrete mixer, so heavy pieces from a tear-down are nothing new. The metal from pieces like those goes to a scrap yard to be recycled. If you're not sure your job counts as light, a photo usually settles it. He takes it apart and loads every piece.

Shed removal in Reno

An old shed that's falling apart, or one that just eats up the corner of the yard, can come down and leave in the same job. Shed removal covers taking down the walls and roof and hauling the panels, framing and floor, plus whatever was still stored inside. Tools, a bike or patio chairs that still have life in them go to Goodwill first. The rest heads out with the load.

Carpet removal in Reno

Old carpet comes up heavy, and the pad under it adds more. Carpet removal means pulling it up, rolling it and hauling it away with the pad, so the floor is bare and ready for what goes down next. An upstairs bedroom or a finished basement is the same job, since the rolls get carried out from where they are. Tell him which rooms and roughly how big they are when you send the photo.

Remodel debris removal in Reno

A kitchen or bathroom remodel fills a garage fast with old cabinets, broken tile, drywall, a sink and the toilet that came out. Remodel debris removal hauls that pile, even if you did the tear-out yourself over a few weekends or a contractor left it stacked by the driveway. Cabinets or a vanity still good enough to use go to Goodwill first. Leftover paint from the job goes to Greymar for disposal. Dump fees are inside the quote. Once it's out, you can park in the garage again.

Interior demolition in Reno

Before a remodel, the old stuff inside has to come out. Interior demolition handles that tear-out and the haul-away together, like dated cabinets, a closet's shelving, an old vanity or a stretch of damaged drywall. You end up with an empty room ready for the next step and no debris left in the hallway. If the job is too big to judge from a picture, he comes out and quotes it in person.

Selective demolition in Reno

Sometimes only one part has to go. Selective demolition takes out a tiled backsplash, a single built-in or a half wall and leaves the rest of the room standing. Mark what goes in the picture, or describe it in your text, and the quote covers just that part. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470.

“I had a great experience with Dominic and Reno Junk Removal. Professional, reasonably priced, on time, same day service. My garage was filled with old toxic chemicals from the swimming pool and cans of paint that needed to be properly disposed of. What a relief it was to watch the mess disappear and to know it was not going to have a negative impact on the environment by just going into a landfill. Highly recommended!”

“Dominic’s service was top tier. Within an hour of calling him, he was at my house and ready to haul off the multitudes of junk including the rusty spool of wire left by previous owners, saving our puppy from an inevitable tetanus shot. They can’t be beat on price and they also provide services like snow removal and holiday light decorating. My husband is already looking in to their Christmas lights service. You can’t go wrong hiring these efficient professionals.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Reno Junk Removal. Dom is very professional and responsive. He and Tyler came to my house the same day and picked up and hauled off a quarter of a garage worth of cardboard. The amount of time they saved me from trip after trip of taking it all to the dump was well worth the reasonable price. I highly recommend Reno Junk Removal.”
