Most of what we do is ordinary: a sofa that won't fit through the door of the new place, a refrigerator that died in August, a garage that slowly stopped being a garage. Some of it is harder, like a parent's house that has to be emptied before a closing date. Either way the job is the same: arrive when we said, settle on a price, carry everything out without marking the walls, and leave the space swept.
A family business from the Cape
We started hauling in Cape Coral in 2022 as a family operation, and it still is one. The people who answer the phone are the people who load the truck, and we live with the same storm seasons, overstuffed garages and snowbird schedules as the customers we work for. That's also why we would rather help with the part you're stuck on, whether that's sorting a room, taking down an old shed or hauling a single recliner, than sell you a bigger job than you need.
Why hauling in Cape Coral is its own kind of job
The Cape was laid out as a grid of canals and single-family lots, and a lot of what fills its garages comes from that. Homes built in the 1970s and 80s are now on their second or third owner, and each one left something behind. Lanai furniture has a short life in the sun and salt air. Pool equipment, spare screen panels and boat parts collect along the side of the house. Snowbird owners close up for the summer and come back to a list.
Then there are the storms. After Hurricane Ian in 2022, regular curbside bulk pickup in Cape Coral did not restart until December, and many households paid privately to clear what the city couldn't reach. Every season since, part of our work has been fences, limbs and water-damaged furniture after a storm passes.
How a visit actually goes
You call or send the form. We ask what's going and where it is in the house, and we may ask for a photo. You get a price range on that call. On the day, the crew calls when they are on the way. Nobody shows up unannounced.
At the house, the crew walks the pile with you and gives a firm price. If you say yes, two people do all the carrying, from wherever things sit: closets, attics, the far end of the lanai. Doorframes and floors get padded where a large piece has to pass. When the truck is loaded, the area is swept or raked. Most single-room jobs are finished inside an hour.
How we work out a price
We price by the space your items take in the truck, because that is what our cost actually follows: the truck, the people and the county's disposal fee by the ton. A few items carry a named add-on, including mattresses, refrigerant appliances and heavy materials such as tile or concrete, because they cost more to handle. You hear about those before we start, not on the invoice. The price guide lists our current ranges.
Where everything goes after it leaves your house
Every load is separated before it is dumped. Furniture and appliances that still work go to local charities, including the Habitat for Humanity ReStores in North Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. Metal goes to scrap recyclers. What's left goes to Lee County's solid waste facilities, where construction and demolition debris is processed to recover concrete, wood and metal, and household waste is burned to produce electricity at the county's waste-to-energy plant on Buckingham Road.
Things we won't do
- We won't start loading before you have agreed a price, and we won't change it unless the pile changes.
- We won't take paint, fuel, solvents, propane or pool chemicals. Lee County takes them free at its Topaz Court drop-off, and that is the right place for them.
- We won't disconnect gas lines or hardwired electrical circuits. If a hot tub or appliance needs that, a licensed electrician or plumber does it first.
- We won't leave debris at the curb for the city to collect. Cape Coral's own rules say a hired contractor removes the debris from its work, and we follow them.
- We won't dump anything anywhere but a licensed facility. If you ever see a load of junk on a vacant lot in the Cape, it wasn't from a company that wants your next call.
Who calls us
Homeowners, mostly, along with the people around a house: landlords turning over a rental, realtors getting a listing ready, property managers, executors and family members handling an estate, and contractors who would rather not haul their own tear-out. Snowbirds book ahead for the week they arrive or the week before they leave, and we can work from photos and a lockbox when nobody can be there.
Plain answers to the usual questions
Are you licensed? Florida does not issue a state license for junk removal. A hauler here needs a local business tax receipt, and you should ask any company you hire for a certificate of insurance before they carry anything through your home.
What area do you cover? All of Cape Coral, plus Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Matlacha and Pine Island. If you are somewhere else in Lee County, call and ask.
What are your hours? Call (239) 579-7232 and we'll find a slot that works, including same-day when the schedule has room.
