One of the fastest-growing master-planned HOA suburbs in the country — Power Ranch, Seville, Val Vista Lakes, packed two- and three-car garages. Your HOA won't let you leave bulk at the curb, so we clear the garage as truck-fill and haul it straight from the garage. Quarter truck $325, full truck $985, flat from a photo. No curb, no HOA fine, no service tax.

Upload a Photo & Get Quote →Gilbert (85233, 85234, 85295, 85296, 85297, 85298) is a town built almost entirely out of new master-planned subdivisions, and it consistently lands near the top of the national lists for both growth and safety. That means one very specific thing for a junk hauler: it is full of young families in houses that are newer than their stuff. Nobody in Power Ranch or Seville is clearing out a grandparent's forty-year accumulation. They're clearing out the last six years — the bikes three sizes too small, the trampoline the kids stopped using, the swing set the youngest outgrew, the crib and the bunk bed nobody needs anymore, and the wall of flattened boxes and packing paper that came with the move-in and never actually left.
Arizona homes are slab-on-grade with no basements, so there is exactly one place all of that goes: the garage. A three-car garage absorbs a remarkable amount before anyone notices, and then one Saturday you can't park in it. That's the call. We clear the whole thing — priced flat as truck-fill from a photo — and haul it straight out of the open garage door on a scheduled pickup, never the curb. You don't lift anything. We carry it out, split donation from disposal, break down the steel that needs breaking down, and sweep the slab. In summer we start early to beat the heat, and because Arizona doesn't tax labor-only hauling, there is no sales-tax line on your bill.
Open the door, stand at the driveway, take a wide shot. Add close-ups of the big things — trampoline, swing set, weight bench. You get an exact flat number back in seconds, no walkthrough and no "call for a quote."
Same-day is usually open across the East Valley. Tell us if there's a subdivision gate or a guest-parking rule and we work to it, so the truck is never the thing your neighbors notice.
Crew loads from the garage and the side yard, disassembles what needs it, sets aside donations, and leaves the slab broom-clean. Nothing ever touches the curb.
A garage is a volume job, so it's priced as truck-fill: how much of our truck your stuff fills. You get the number from a photo before we roll, and loading, sweep-out and disposal are already inside it.
| Truck-fill | Flat price | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter truck (2/8) | $325 | One bay's worth of boxes and a couple of big items |
| 3/8 truck | $455 | A bay plus the shelving and the outgrown bikes |
| Half truck (4/8) | $580 | The typical two-car Gilbert garage purge |
| 5/8 truck | $690 | Garage plus the playroom overflow |
| Three-quarter truck (6/8) | $790 | Three-car garage, most of the way down |
| 7/8 truck | $890 | Garage, side yard and shed together |
| Full truck (8/8) | $985 | Floor-to-rafters, nothing left |
If it's really only a handful of big things, we price them individually instead and you pay the smaller of the two:
| Single item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Trampoline (disassembly included) | $156 |
| Backyard swing set / play structure | $192 |
| Bunk bed | $165 |
| Crib | $90 |
| Weight bench | $93 |
| Patio chair (each) | $40 |
| 20 contractor bags of boxed-up garage clutter | $348 |
$75 minimum. Loading, disassembly, sweep-out and disposal are included, and the truck loads from the garage. Mixing a truck-fill with a couple of oversize items? Send one photo and we price the whole thing as a single number. No Arizona sales tax on the service — Arizona has no transaction-privilege classification for labor-only junk hauling, so the quote is the bill.
For outside context: third-party home-services cost trackers put the average Phoenix-metro junk-removal job in the $226–$237 range, and national franchise crews commonly land $600–$800+ on a full truckload — with the number typically confirmed only after an on-site visit. Our ladder above is the whole price list, published before anyone drives out.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Town bulk-collection schedule | Free | Whatever the next scheduled date is | Gilbert runs its own calendar and its own limits — confirm yours. Either way it's curbside, it's capped, and a whole garage is more than a bulk set-out. |
| Dumpster in the driveway | Rental + haul fees | Days on site | A brand-new HOA subdivision has the strictest appearance rules in the Valley, and a container parked out front for a week is exactly what they're written about. You also load every pound of it yourself, in Arizona heat. |
| Donate the kids' gear yourself | Free | Days | ReStore, Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul take usable bikes, toys and furniture — but car seats and used cribs are normally refused for safety reasons, and you still need a truck and a Saturday. |
| Self-haul to a transfer station | ~$55/ton gate rate | Multiple trips | The City of Phoenix transfer stations charge $55/ton at the 2026 gate rate and Salt River Landfill runs about $60–$70/ton commercial — both a real drive from Gilbert, and you'll do two or three round trips with a borrowed truck. |
| JunkRabbit | $325–$985 flat | Same day | None — photo price up front, loaded from the garage, donation-routed, slab swept |
No municipal program does — and Gilbert's is not the one people usually read about. Gilbert sets its own bulk-collection schedule, separate from the City of Phoenix system, with its own dates and its own limits; check the town's current rules before you stage anything, because we won't quote you numbers we haven't verified.
What we can point to precisely is the program next door, because it shows the shape of the problem. City of Phoenix bulk trash — the program that covers Phoenix proper, not Gilbert — is now appointment-based: a maximum of four collections per calendar year, scheduled up to three business days out, with items set out no more than seven days ahead. That's the modern version of "the city will get it." Four windows a year, booked in advance, for a household's entire year of bulk.
And here's the part that actually decides it in Gilbert: whatever window your municipality gives you, your HOA's is shorter. In a new-build master-planned community the covenant governs how long anything can sit visible at the curb — often a matter of hours around a scheduled collection, not days. So the practical answer for a Power Ranch or Val Vista Lakes homeowner isn't "which calendar do I use," it's "how do I get a garage's worth of stuff off my property without ever putting it out front." That's the job we do: the truck backs to the driveway, the crew loads out of the garage, and it leaves with us.
Very little from a Gilbert garage is actually garbage, which is why we sort at the truck instead of at the landfill. Usable toys, bikes and furniture get donated with a receipt — Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill of Central & Northern AZ and St. Vincent de Paul all have a strong Valley footprint and all take intact household goods. The one thing worth knowing before you get your hopes up: car seats and used cribs are usually refused by donation centers, because expiration dates and recall history make resale a liability. Those we take as disposal, and we'll tell you straight rather than let you assume otherwise.
Trampoline and swing-set steel gets recycled — frames, springs, poles and anchors are scrap metal, not landfill, and we route them accordingly. Electronics and old TVs go to e-waste recycling. Whatever genuinely can't be donated or recycled goes to a transfer station, where the 2026 City of Phoenix gate rate is $55/ton. That cheap desert disposal is a real reason our flat prices can sit where they do — and it's already inside the quoted number, not a line item added later.
Gilbert's building stock is uniform in a way that makes this easy. Slab-on-grade construction, no basements, two- and three-car attached garages, and a side yard behind a gate — that's the vocabulary of nearly every house in 85295 through 85298. It means everything we're hauling is already at ground level and already next to the driveway, which is why a Gilbert garage load moves faster than the same volume out of a two-story home anywhere else.
The two access details that matter: the side gate and the backyard. Trampolines, swing sets, patio furniture and the shed contents all come out through the gate rather than through your house, so nothing gets scraped on the way. Tell us the gate width if it's narrow and we'll plan the disassembly around it. And in the gated pockets of the newer subdivisions, give us the visitor code or leave us on the gate list — we check in the way the community expects.
The other constraint is the calendar: June through September we book early-morning windows. A closed-up garage with a metal roll-up door is one of the hottest rooms in Arizona by ten in the morning, and the crew works safer and faster at 7 a.m. It's not a marketing line — it's how the Valley schedules real outdoor work.
"Cleared the whole garage — furniture, a treadmill, packed shelves. Hauled from the garage, swept clean, nothing at the curb, no tax line. Same-day."
"All the kids' outgrown stuff and old furniture, gone in an afternoon. HOA-safe, donation-routed, fair flat quote."
"They started at 7am to beat the heat and were done before it hit 100. Pulled it all from the garage. Easy."
How much does it cost?
Truck-fill from a photo: quarter $325, 3/8 $455, half $580, 5/8 $690, three-quarters $790, 7/8 $890, full $985. Big single items price on their own — trampoline $156, swing set $192, bunk bed $165, crib $90, weight bench $93, patio chair $40, twenty bags of packed clutter $348. $75 minimum, everything included, no Arizona sales tax.
Will my HOA fine me?
Not for a job we do, because nothing goes to the curb. We load out of the open garage on a scheduled pickup and leave with it. Gilbert's newest subdivisions run the tightest appearance covenants in the Valley — this is built around that.
Does the town pick up bulk trash?
Gilbert runs its own bulk schedule, separate from Phoenix's — confirm your dates with the town. For scale, the verified City of Phoenix program is appointment-only, four collections per calendar year, three business days out, items out no more than seven days early. And your HOA's window is shorter than whatever the town allows.
Can you take the trampoline and swing set?
Yes — $156 and $192, disassembly included, walked out through the side gate, steel recycled.
Do you donate the kids' things?
Usable bikes, toys and furniture go to ReStore, Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul with a receipt. Car seats and used cribs are typically refused on safety grounds, so those we dispose of.
Is this cheaper than a traditional full-service hauler?
The number is known before we arrive, which is the real difference. National franchise crews commonly quote $600–$800+ on a full truckload and confirm only after an on-site visit; our full truck is $985 flat with disassembly, donation routing and the sweep-out already in it — and our smaller tiers start at $325.
How early do you start in summer?
June through September we book first-thing windows. A 7 a.m. half-truck garage is usually loaded and swept before it hits 100 degrees.
Can you get to the side yard and the back gate?
Yes. Slab homes, no basements, and most of the overflow sits in the garage, behind the side gate or in a backyard shed. We walk it out through the gate to the truck on the driveway — nothing gets dragged through the house and nothing gets staged out front.
Priced as truck-fill from a photo of the garage: a quarter truck is $325, three-eighths $455, half $580, five-eighths $690, three-quarters $790, seven-eighths $890, and a full truck $985. If it's only a few big things, they price individually instead — trampoline $156, swing set $192, bunk bed $165, crib $90, weight bench $93, patio chair $40, and twenty contractor bags of packed-up garage clutter $348. $75 minimum, loading, sweep-out and disposal included, and no Arizona sales tax on the service.
It can. Gilbert is wall-to-wall master-planned HOA subdivisions and the newest ones — Power Ranch, Seville, Val Vista Lakes and the 85295-85298 build-outs — run the tightest appearance covenants in the Valley. Most only allow bulk at the curb inside a narrow window tied to a scheduled collection. We never use the curb: we load out of the open garage door on a scheduled pickup and drive off, so nothing sits out front for a neighbor or a compliance drive-by to see.
Gilbert sets its own bulk-collection schedule, separate from the City of Phoenix program, and you should confirm your own dates and limits with the town before you stage anything. What is verified is how little a municipal program covers even in the best case: City of Phoenix bulk trash is appointment-based, capped at four collections per calendar year, scheduled up to three business days out, with items set out no more than seven days ahead. And whatever calendar your city gives you, a new-build HOA's allowed window is shorter — the covenant, not the trash truck, is what actually governs how long a pile can sit.
Yes, and they're two of the most common calls we get in Gilbert. A trampoline is $156 and a backyard swing set is $192, disassembly included — we break the frame down in the side yard, walk it out through the gate, and the steel goes to a metal recycler rather than the landfill. Add them to a garage truck-fill and they price into the load instead of separately.
Whatever is still usable, yes. Bikes, toys, dressers, bookshelves and intact furniture go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill of Central & Northern AZ or St. Vincent de Paul, and we can get you a donation receipt. Two honest exceptions: car seats and used cribs are normally refused by donation centers on safety grounds because of expiration dates and recall history, so plan on those being disposal, not donation.
Early. From June through September we book Gilbert garages first thing in the morning so the crew is loading before the slab and the metal roll-up door turn into an oven. A half-truck garage in a 7 a.m. window is usually done and swept before it clears 100 degrees.
The real difference is that you have the number before we arrive. National franchise crews commonly quote $600 to $800 or more on a full truckload and confirm only after an on-site visit, so the figure appears when the truck is already in your driveway. Our full truck is $985 flat with disassembly, donation routing and the sweep-out already inside it, and the smaller tiers start at $325 — all published before anyone drives out.
