Junk Removal in Farragut, TN

Types of Junk Removal We Offer in Farragut

Junk hauling in Farragut tends to come in big pieces. The houses are large, the bonus rooms are bigger than you'd guess, and a three-car garage can hide ten years of stuff behind one parked SUV. These are the jobs we run there most, with the lake-side favorite up top.

Hot Tub Removal in Farragut

An old hot tub is the single biggest item we pull out of Farragut backyards. Even empty, a spa is too heavy and too wide for most side gates, so it rarely leaves whole. Once an electrician has cut the power, we drain it, cut the shell at the seams with a reciprocating saw and carry the sections out. Most cost $300 to $600. On one Farragut job the tub sat on a deck 9 feet off the ground. Four sections, down the deck stairs on a dolly, no crane.

Furniture Removal for Downsizing

When the kids are gone or parents move somewhere smaller, furniture is the hardest part to let go of. Sectionals, bedroom sets, eight-chair dining tables, pool tables and home office desks are the usual list. Good pieces go to the Knoxville Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Downtown West Boulevard or to KARM Stores, where they're resold for a good cause. In our opinion a solid cherry bedroom set has no business in a landfill, so we make the extra stop. See furniture removal for single-piece prices.

Garage and Attic Cleanouts

Pull-down attic stairs are the Farragut special. Those two-story houses have big attics, and the Christmas tubs, outgrown toys and empty TV boxes go up there and never come down. We send three people: one up top handing down, one on the ladder, one walking it to the trailer. Garages go faster. A three-car garage with shelving, bikes and a broken mower (gas drained) usually fills three-quarters of the trailer, which is $600. Out the door by noon.

Yard Waste and Storm Debris

Knox County convenience centers take no greenwaste at all: no limbs, logs, brush, stumps or leaves. In Farragut that means storm cleanup lands on the homeowner. After the 2023 tornado damage, the county ran a one-time free brush pickup for Farragut only, with no tree sections over 6 feet. It was a one-off. We load brush, broken fence panels and limbs on one trailer and take them to a greenwaste yard.

Appliance Removal

Second fridges in the garage, chest freezers in the basement, the washer from before the laundry room remodel. Anything with refrigerant costs $50 extra, because the coolant must be recovered under EPA Section 608 before the metal is scrapped. Washers, dryers and stoves go straight to scrap metal. We've seen plenty of Farragut garage fridges that still run fine, and those we try to donate first.

Piano and Exercise Equipment Removal

Upright pianos, treadmills, home gym towers and ellipticals are heavy, awkward and usually upstairs or in a finished basement. Piano removal runs $200 to $400 depending on the stairs and the turns. The treadmill nobody has used since 2019 usually fits in a quarter load at $125, unless it comes with a weight bench and a rack.

Downsizing a Farragut House: Where Everything Goes

Most Farragut downsizing jobs follow the same pattern. The family keeps a few boxes and a couple of favorite pieces, and the rest needs a new home. We sort on the driveway as things come out, so nothing rides to the landfill that could have gone somewhere better.

• Keep: photos, papers, jewelry and anything you've tagged. We box these up and leave them in one room, labeled.
• Give: furniture, housewares and tools in good shape go to the ReStore, KARM or Goodwill Industries-Knoxville, which runs about 28 to 30 stores across 15 East Tennessee counties. KARM also picks up big donations for free, usually within 1 to 2 days, if you have time to wait.
• Scrap: washers, dryers, grills, metal shelving and exercise machines go to a scrap yard, not a landfill.
• Toss: broken, stained or swollen pieces go to the transfer station at $70 a ton, a fee that's already inside our load price.

An estate sale company is another route for valuable pieces, though most take 35% to 40% of the sale as commission. We think it's worth a call if you have antiques or a house full of good furniture. Whatever's left after the sale, we come in behind them and clear it, usually in one or two loads.

How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Farragut?

Junk removal in Farragut usually costs $125 to $800 in 2026, depending on how much of our 16-yard trailer you fill. Most Farragut jobs land at half to full loads, $400 to $800, because the houses are large. Hot tubs run $300 to $600 and whole-house cleanouts $1,000 to $4,000.

For comparison, HomeAdvisor puts the average Knoxville junk removal job at about $253. Farragut runs above that, for a plain reason. Bigger houses, bigger loads.

Weight moves a price more than size does. A trailer of old tile or roofing hits its weight limit long before it looks full. Most Farragut loads are furniture and boxes, though, which are light for the room they take, so the price follows the space. Stairs and a long carry from a backyard deck are the other factor, and we count those when we look at the pile, not after.

Big Houses, Lake Homes and Storms in Farragut

Farragut voted to incorporate on January 16, 1980, mostly to keep Knoxville from annexing along Kingston Pike. It has grown steadily since: 17,720 people in 2000, 20,676 in 2010 and 23,506 in 2020. The median household income is about $142,093 and the median home value about $583,400, and Farragut has the highest incomes of any suburb in the metro. In practice that means more square footage, more storage and more stuff per house than most of our service area.

Most of the housing is 1980s to 2000s subdivisions, though Concord Hills, Thornton Heights and the old Concord village from 1854 are older, and Campbell's Station Inn dates to 1810. A house built in 1988 is now on its second or third owner. Each sale tends to leave something in the basement for the next family, and that's often their first call to us.

Fort Loudoun Lake runs along the south side of town, part of about 50 miles of lake from Lenoir City up to Knoxville. Lake houses bring their own junk: dock boxes, mildewed patio cushions, cracked kayaks, rusted gas grills and hot tubs that sat through one winter too many. We take all of it except fuel and full propane tanks, which have to be emptied or dropped off separately.

Weather is the wild card. The area gets about 52 inches of rain a year, and when a storm drops trees between Blackoak Ridge and the lake, brush becomes the problem nobody planned for. Since the county sites won't take it, call early. We also cover northwest Knox County, including junk removal in Karns, just up Pellissippi Parkway.

Inside town, Kingston Pike and Campbell's Station Road are our main routes. We try to stay off Kingston Pike at the afternoon rush and start big Farragut jobs early, since the crew's day begins at 6am. An early start on a three-load downsizing job means the last trailer pulls out before dinner.
