Junk Removal in Lenoir City, TN

Types of Junk Removal We Offer in Lenoir City

Here's what Lenoir City calls us for most, starting with the one that takes the longest. Every job is priced by how much room it fills on our 16-yard trailer, and you hear the number standing next to the pile.

Estate Cleanouts and Downsizing Moves

Many Lenoir City calls come from families downsizing, moving to a smaller place or settling a parent's home. We clear the house room by room, hold back papers, photos and keepsakes, and send furniture in good shape to donation. A whole-house estate cleanout usually runs $1,000 to $4,000, often two to four trailer loads.

If you're moving into a smaller place, we can take only what won't fit and leave the rest. Mark the pieces that stay with tape and the crew works around them. If the house is packed wall to wall, that's hoarding cleanup instead, priced at $1,200 to $5,000. See our estate cleanouts page for how a full house works.

Travis has a soft spot for these jobs. I spent six years on a thrift-store dock, he says, and the hardest thing to watch was a good dining set going in the compactor. When a Lenoir City family is downsizing, the table, the hutch and the extra bedroom set usually go to the ReStore or KARM, and we tell you which ones before we load them.

Hot Tub Removal From Lake Decks

Lake houses often have a hot tub on a back deck facing the water. Once an electrician has disconnected the power, we drain the tub, cut the shell into sections and carry them out. Hot tub weight is the real problem: an eight-person tub can weigh 1,200 to 1,800 pounds empty, which is why cutting it up beats trying to move it whole. Most hot tub removal jobs cost $300 to $600.

Steep yards and long stairs down to the water add time, so we walk the path before giving a price. We cut the shell along its seams, and the pieces are light enough for two people on a dolly. More on hot tub removal.

Shed Removal and Playsets

Wooden sheds rot from the floor up in this humid valley, and old playsets get left behind when kids grow up. We take them apart by hand, load the walls, roof and floor, and leave the spot raked. Shed removal costs $400 to $1,500 depending on size and what's inside, and shed demolition with a wood floor takes us two to three hours on most lots. The county centers don't take wood or demolition waste, so a hauler is the usual route.

We've seen plenty of sheds out on US-321 lots that look fine from the road and are soft as a sponge at the floor. One last fall had a riding mower parked on a floor that had already given way under one wheel. We pulled the mower first, then took the shed down panel by panel. Raked clean, too.

Construction Debris From Remodels

Kitchen and bathroom updates leave old cabinets, countertops, drywall, flooring and trim. The Halls Ferry Road center refuses demolition waste, so remodel debris needs another way out. We load it from the garage or driveway and haul it in one trip. Tile and concrete are heavy, so they count for more of the load than drywall does.

If you're doing the remodel yourself, keep the debris in one spot near the driveway and we'll load straight from there. Drywall scraps, a cast iron tub and a pile of carpet can all ride together. A cast iron tub is the one that surprises people: it takes three of us.

Furniture Removal

Couches, sectionals, recliners, bedroom sets and patio furniture are everyday pickups. Pieces in good shape go to the Knoxville Habitat for Humanity ReStore or KARM Stores. Broken ones go to the landfill. We take things apart when a door or stairway is tight and pad the frames so nothing scrapes.

Lake houses add one more category: patio furniture that's spent ten summers in the sun. Faded cushions, cracked resin chairs, a glass table with a chip in it. That stuff isn't worth donating, honestly, so it goes to the landfill and the metal frames go to scrap.

Commercial Junk Removal for Rentals and Shops

Property managers, landlords and small shops along US-321 call us for turnovers, office furniture and old shelving. Loudon County's centers don't take commercial waste at all, so businesses need a hauler. We can work early or late to stay out of your customers' way. See commercial junk removal.

For landlords we send before and after photos from the empty unit so you can show the owner what was hauled and when.

How Much Is Junk Removal in Lenoir City?

Junk removal in Lenoir City usually costs $125 to $800 in 2026, depending on how much of our 16-yard trailer your load fills. A few bulky items start at $125, half a trailer is $400 and a full trailer is $800. Fridges and mattresses add $50 each, and the price is set before loading.

For comparison, HomeAdvisor puts the average Knoxville-area junk removal job at about $253. Lake homes tend to run higher because of stairs, decks and long carries, not because the junk is different. Dump fees play a part too: every ton buried also carries the Tennessee landfill surcharge of 90 cents. Trailer math: a patio set and a grill take about a quarter of the trailer, which is why that line is $125.

Lake Houses, Tellico Village and Fort Loudoun Lake

Fort Loudoun Lake runs about 50 miles from Lenoir City up to Knoxville, and an 850-foot canal connects it to Tellico Lake. Lake homes collect boat gear, patio sets, old dock furniture and spas. Getting those items up a steep yard to the driveway is most of the work.

Tellico Village opened in 1986 and Rarity Bay in 1995, and both are planned communities with their own rules. Many residents are retirees, so downsizing and estate work is common. Check your community's rules about trailers and curb piles before the pickup day.

On a Tellico Village job the hardest part is usually the parking, not the lifting. We pull the trailer where the community allows, carry to it, and keep the street clear. If your community wants a heads-up before work trucks come in, tell us and we'll plan around it.

Storm Cleanup and Growth Along US-321

An F-3 tornado hit Lenoir City on February 21, 1993, killing one person and injuring 55. Storms still bring down limbs and fences here, and Lenoir City gets about 52 inches of rain a year. Storm debris is part of our yard work in town.

After a spring storm the calls look alike: a split maple across the back fence, limbs in the gutters, a trampoline that ended up in the neighbor's yard. Since the county center won't take yard waste or wood, the whole pile has to go another way. We cut the limbs to length, load the fence panels with them and haul it in one trip. A typical storm pile fills about half the trailer, so it lands near $400.

New subdivisions along US-321 bring move-ins, packing debris and builder leftovers. Lenoir City has no official city bulky pickup, and private haulers sell curbside service, so large items usually need a separate trip. We also serve Loudon, the county seat a short drive down I-75.

Most Lenoir City jobs fit in one morning. We run from 6am to 10pm Monday through Saturday, so an evening slot after work is possible too when the schedule has room.
