How it works east of I-35
1 · Photo, English or Spanish
The garage, the room, the debris pile — one photo and the flat price comes back in seconds, in whichever language the household runs on.
2 · Pick a window
Crews cross 78702 and 78721 daily — same-day most days, evenings bookable, and generational clears staged over the days the family needs.
3 · Cleared, sorted, done
Loaded from inside the house or the site, donation split from disposal at the truck, alleys and old driveways navigated like locals — because the crews are.

5 ways to clear junk in East Austin
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin Resource Recovery on-demand bulk | Free | Scheduled from request | City-curbside houses only, capped volume, limited pickups/year, curbside-only — and no construction debris ever |
| Complex dumpster (apartments) | "Free" | Instant | Private-hauler contracts ban bulk — billed back to the unit |
| Curb it with a FREE sign | Free | Days, maybe | Code-enforcement notices arrive faster than porch scavengers on these blocks |
| Self-haul to Creedmoor | Truck + ~$60/ton, 2-ton min | Repeated trips | A remodel is many loads; a generational home is many more |
| JunkRabbit | $241 garage · $120/cy debris | Same-day | None — bilingual crews, donation-routed, receipts |
Does the city pick up bulk in East Austin?
For the bungalow blocks on city curbside service — within limits, yes. Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand program (austintexas.gov/service/ondemand) grants a limited number of free pickups a year, each volume-capped, collected from the curb only. For one broken dresser it works, slowly. For the two jobs that define this neighborhood, it doesn't:
The generational clear — a family home holding fifty years — is many multiples of any cap, and staging a household's history on the curb of a block where everyone knows the family isn't a real option. The remodel — and 78702 is one of the fastest-rebuilding ZIPs in Texas — is excluded outright: the city program takes no construction debris at all. Meanwhile the apartment complexes scattered through both ZIPs are on private hauling and outside the program entirely.
We fill the whole gap: from inside the house, off the job site, out of the complex — flat-priced, bilingual, same-day when you need it.
What we haul in East Austin
- Bungalow garage and estate clears — attic to cochera, staged at the family's pace, keepsakes protected, donation receipts kept.
- Teardown and remodel debris — cabinetry, fixtures, lath and plaster, fencing, at $162 per cubic yard with proper C&D disposal.
- Furniture and appliances — muebles, refrigeradores, lavadoras — flat by piece, carried from inside.
- Duplex and rental turnovers — whole-unit clears between tenants, one invoice for the landlord.
- The mixed pile — the loose pile behind the house at $129 medium, bagged loads by count.
- New-build move-in debris — the boxes and packing wave that follows every infill closing.
Where it goes
Usable furniture and household goods route to Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank — often furnishing homes a neighborhood away from where the pieces started — with receipts for families and estates that need them. Metal goes to scrap recovery, appliances get EPA-code refrigerant handling, and clean demo debris routes to C&D processing rather than raw landfill. The genuinely finished remainder is the smallest share.
The East Austin specifics we plan around
History is present tense here. These blocks were shaped into a Hispanic and Black community by the 1928 plan, and while 78702 now gentrifies as fast as anywhere in Texas, the established community remains — which is why Spanish-first service is the product, not a feature: bilingual crews, Spanish quotes and receipts, and the full Spanish page. The housing tells you the job: narrow 1920s doorways and gravel alleys on the bungalow blocks; dumpster-banned complexes near the corridors; demo containers on the infill lots. Generational clears deserve patience — documents and photos set aside, the family's pace respected, in the family's language. And the rebuild boom sets the tonnage: half our East Austin volume is remodel debris now, priced by the cubic yard so the number is checkable against the pile.

Do you haul teardown and remodel debris?
Yes — the infill boom east of I-35 makes demo debris a daily job: old cabinetry, fixtures, lath and plaster, fencing and the cleared-out furniture that comes with a rebuild, priced at $162 per cubic yard and hauled to proper C&D disposal.
Does the city pick up bulk items in East Austin?
Houses on city curbside service can use Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk program — limited pickups per year, volume-capped, curbside only, and no construction debris at all. Renters in complexes on private hauling can't use it. For a generational bungalow clear or a remodel's debris, the caps and exclusions rule it out, which is where we come in.
Can you clear a family home respectfully?
Generational clears are common here and we treat them that way — family photos and documents set aside, keepsakes protected, usable furniture donated with receipts, and crews who work at the family's pace, in Spanish when that's the family's language.
What happens to what you haul?
Usable furniture and household goods go to Goodwill Central Texas, Habitat ReStore and the Austin Furniture Bank; metal to recovery; clean debris to C&D processing. Receipts available on request.
