Frequently asked questions

Everything we get asked most. If your question is not here, send us a quote request and we will reply within 30 minutes.

How much does TN Junk Bros charge for junk removal?+

Our pricing is flat and based on truck volume. Single-item pickups start at $79. A quarter-truck (sofa plus a few boxes) is $150-275. Half a truck is $275-450. A full truck (about 12 cubic yards) is $450-700. Estate cleanouts and large jobs are quoted separately. The number we tell you on the call is the number you pay - no surprise dump fees.

How fast can you pick up?+

Same day in most cases if you call before noon. We run a daily truck rotation across our service cities in Middle Tennessee. Quote requests through this site get a callback within 30 minutes during business hours. Need next-day pickup? Just say so on the call.

What cities do you serve?+

We currently serve Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Franklin, Brentwood, Mt. Juliet, Gallatin, Smyrna, Lebanon - that covers most of Middle Tennessee. If you are in a town not on the list, call us with your zip code and we will tell you on the spot whether we can be there same-day.

What kinds of items do you take?+

Furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, hot tubs, construction debris, yard waste, and general household clutter. If it fits in our truck and is not on the hazardous list, we can take it. See our learn page for the full list of what we cannot legally take.

What can you not take?+

We cannot legally take hazardous chemicals, oil-based paint, gasoline, automotive fluids, propane tanks, asbestos, medical waste, or large quantities of e-waste with broken screens. Most counties run periodic Hazardous Household Waste drop-off events for these items. Call us and we will point you to the next one.

Do you donate items instead of dumping them?+

Yes - donation-first is our default. Usable furniture, appliances, kitchenware, and building materials get routed to Habitat ReStore, Goodwill, or Salvation Army before disposal. You get a donation receipt for tax purposes. Items that are damaged, pet-stained, or rejected by donation centers go to licensed disposal facilities.

Do I need to be home for the pickup?+

It helps but is not required for most jobs. If the items are in a clearly accessible spot (driveway, garage, curb) and you have walked us through what is going and what is staying on the quote call, we can pick up while you are out. For full estate cleanouts or interior cleanouts, we ask that you or a representative be on-site.

How do you handle refrigerators and freezers?+

Per EPA Section 608. We evacuate refrigerant safely before disposal and the unit goes to a certified Tennessee recycler. You will not have a freon-leaking fridge sitting at the curb, and you will not have to call a separate appliance recycler.

What do you do with mattresses?+

Most mattresses go to a TN-licensed recycling facility where the cotton, foam, and springs are separated and reprocessed. Mattresses are illegal to curb-dump in Tennessee and create pest issues, so we recycle by default.

How does payment work?+

Card, cash, or check on completion. No deposits, no upfront billing. We text you the flat price after the quote call so you have it in writing before the truck arrives.

Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes. TN Junk Bros is a licensed and insured Tennessee junk hauler. We carry general liability and auto insurance covering the truck, the crew, and your property during pickup.

Do you handle estate cleanouts?+

Yes, with sensitivity to family items. Our crews are trained to handle homes with grief context - we work around memorial items, identify potentially valuable items (jewelry, documents, family photos) before disposal, and coordinate with the estate attorney or executor as needed. Estate cleanouts are quoted separately based on home size and accumulation.
