If you live inside Brevard city limits, the City offers curbside special collection for household junk, furniture and appliances. It's $75 for a special collection or $20 for a single item, picked up within 3 business days (City of Brevard). But the City doesn't take:
Construction, remodeling or repair materials
Carpet
Tree trunks, stumps, or limbs cut by a hired landscaper or tree service
Auto parts, fluids or tires
And everything has to be at the curb.
If you live outside city limits, which includes Pisgah Forest, Connestee Falls and much of the 28712 area, there's no City curbside service. Residents take trash to a county collection center. Each bag needs a $3 pay-as-you-throw sticker, and bags have a 30-pound limit. Bigger loads go across the scales at the Woodruff Landfill: regular trash is $62 per ton with a $15 minimum, and furniture, carpet, drywall and remodel debris are charged at that rate (Transylvania County Solid Waste).
Brevard is full of mountain homes, rentals and family cabins whose owners don't live here year-round. We make cleanouts easy from anywhere.
Quote from photos or a video call: Your property manager, neighbor or realtor can send the photos.
We work while you're away: Lockbox, gate code or a key from your property manager all work.
Before-and-after photos texted to you when the job is done.
Pay online: No need to be here in person [confirm payment options].
Coordinated with your team: We work with property managers, realtors, estate attorneys and move managers.
Great for rental turnovers, pre-listing cleanouts, inherited homes and closing up a family cabin.
Furniture removal: Couches, recliners, dressers, beds, dining sets and outdoor furniture.
Mattress and box spring removal: Any size, from any room.
Appliance removal: Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters.
Remodel and construction debris: Drywall, cabinets, flooring, carpet, lumber, doors and fixtures. These are exactly the items the City won't pick up.
Carpet and flooring removal: Old carpet, pad, vinyl and laminate.
Second-home and cabin cleanouts: Clearing a mountain home for sale, rental or a new owner.
Estate and downsizing cleanouts: Patient, respectful help for families.
Garage, attic, basement and crawl-space cleanouts: One visit, all of it gone.
Brush, limbs and storm debris: Including stumps, trunks and tree-service cuts the City won't collect.
Hot tub removal: Old spas cut down and hauled away. Hot tubs are common in mountain rentals.
Light demolition: Sheds, decks, playsets and fencing.
Rental and property manager turnovers: Quick unit and cabin clear-outs between guests or tenants.

Does the City of Brevard pick up furniture?
Yes, for city residents. The City's curbside special collection is $75, or $20 for a single item, collected within 3 business days. It doesn't include construction or remodel materials, carpet, or auto parts (City of Brevard). We carry items out from inside and take the things the City won't.
I live outside Brevard city limits. How do I get rid of junk?
Outside city limits, residents use Transylvania County's collection centers, where each bag needs a pay-as-you-throw sticker, or take larger loads to the Woodruff Landfill. Regular trash there is $62 per ton with a $15 minimum (Transylvania County). If you don't have a truck or don't want to make the trips, we'll haul it all in one visit.
Can you do a cleanout if I don't live in Brevard?
Yes. We handle second-home, cabin and inherited-home cleanouts for out-of-town owners all the time. We quote from photos, coordinate access with your property manager or realtor, and text you before-and-after photos.
How much does junk removal cost in Horse Shoe?
Single items start at $99.00, and a full truckload runs $650.00, including labor, loading and disposal. Text a photo to 828-845-4046 for a quick quote or book a free walkthrough for barns and acreage.
Will the City take my remodel debris or old carpet?
No. The City's special collection excludes construction, remodeling and repair materials, and carpet. We haul drywall, cabinets, flooring, carpet and lumber.
Do you remove stumps and tree-service debris?
The City won't collect tree trunks, stumps or limbs cut by a hired tree service. [If you take these: "We do. Just tell us the size and number when you book."]
Do you remove hot tubs from mountain homes and rentals?
Yes. Have an electrician disconnect the power, and we'll handle cutting it down, carrying it off the deck and disposing of it.
What can't you take?
We can't take hazardous materials such as liquid paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste. If you're unsure about an item, text us a photo.
