Garage cleanouts, a mattress and a sofa, the old water heater, renovation debris, the limbs still stacked from the 2024 storm. Some of it Augusta will take at the curb for free; the rest needs a hauler with a trailer. Post the job free and local junk removal Pros bid.
Free first
What Augusta’s bulk waste pickup takes, and what it does not.
Augusta-Richmond County residents get weekly bulk waste collection on their regular pickup day, included in the annual solid waste fee. Before you pay a hauler, check whether your pile qualifies.
- Taken at the curb: household items too big for the cart, such as furniture and mattresses. Loose items must be bagged or boxed, glass must be taped, and old appliances with locking doors need the doors removed. Set it out by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day.
- The limit: 10 cubic yards a week, about one pile 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, with nothing too heavy to handle by hand. Keep the pile clear of the carts, the mailbox, parked cars, poles and low limbs, and out of the street.
- Not taken: construction and demolition debris, yard waste in the bulk pile, hazardous materials, automotive materials and tires. Tires go to the city's free tire recycling events instead.
- So a hauler is for: renovation debris (cabinets, drywall, flooring, shingles), anything heavy (a cast iron tub, a hot tub, a safe), a whole-house or estate cleanout that is far past 10 cubic yards, garage and shed cleanouts, and anything you need gone today rather than next pickup day.
The job
What a junk removal Pro does in Augusta.
- Quotes by the load (fraction of a trailer or truck) or by the item for single heavy pieces; a photo of the pile gets you a real number
- Loads it themselves, from wherever it sits: attic, basement, back yard, third floor
- Sorts what can be donated or recycled from what goes to the landfill; ask, because haulers differ a lot on this
- Handles the dump fees and the tipping, and sweeps up after
- Appliances with refrigerant, electronics and mattresses often carry an extra fee, because the disposal sites charge for them
- Storm limbs and stumps are a separate kind of load from household junk; say which you have
Hurricane Helene on September 26 and 27, 2024 brought a measured 82 mph gust at Augusta Regional Airport and widespread tree damage across the CSRA. Two years on, plenty of Augusta back yards still have the leftovers, and haulers are still getting those calls.
Around the city
Junk removal across Augusta’s neighborhoods.
Summerville, the Hill and downtown. Historic homes with attics, basements and carriage houses full of decades. Estate cleanouts and renovation debris are the usual loads, and narrow driveways mean asking whether the Pro brings a trailer or a box truck.
West Augusta and the Washington Road corridor. Mid-century ranches on big lots; garage and shed cleanouts, old appliances, and fence and deck tear-outs.
South Augusta, Hephzibah and Blythe. Larger lots, more outbuildings, more storm debris, and the county's solid waste operation out on Deans Bridge Road is close by. Handyman Pros in Hephzibah handle small demo and haul-off too.
Fort Eisenhower moves. Move-out cleanouts on a fixed date are a steady part of Augusta's junk removal work. Post the date you need it gone and Pros will tell you if they can hit it.

FAQ
Junk removal in Augusta: common questions.
How much does junk removal cost in Augusta?
Most Pros price by the load, with single heavy items and appliances priced on their own. Post a photo of the pile and where it sits, and compare several quotes on HammerDuck before anyone drives over.
Will Augusta pick up my old furniture for free?
Usually yes. Augusta-Richmond County collects bulk household items weekly on your regular pickup day, up to 10 cubic yards, as part of the solid waste fee. Construction debris, yard waste in the pile, hazardous materials and tires are not taken.
Can a hauler take renovation debris?
Yes, that is the main thing haulers do that the city will not. Cabinets, drywall, flooring, shingles, tile and lumber all go in the trailer, and the Pro pays the disposal fee as part of the quote.
Do junk removal Pros donate usable items?
Many do, and some charge less for a load that can be donated. Ask when you post; HammerDuck Pros answer in writing, so you can compare.
Can I get same-day junk removal in Augusta?
Often. Post the job with the date you need, and Pros with an opening that day will say so in their quote.
