How conditions differ across Franklin County
Franklin County is a suburban-shaped area with a spread-out character. The county has about 408.9 square miles of land, which puts the population density near 92 people per square mile. That means some homes sit close together in town centers like Benton, while others are far apart on larger lots.
The housing stock reflects this mix. Across Franklin County as a whole, about 78 percent of homes are single-family detached, with only about 2 percent in buildings of five units or more. About 11 percent of homes are mobile or manufactured homes.
A cleanout in a detached house often involves a full garage and attic, while a mobile home job tends to be more compact.
The age of housing also varies. The median year a home here was built is 1965, and roughly 70 percent of homes went up before 1980. That older stock tends to accumulate more over time, which is why estate and appliance removals are so common.
Only about 15 new homes were authorized in 2024, so most work here involves clearing out what has piled up over decades rather than managing new construction.

What Junk Rhinos takes and where it goes in Franklin County
Loads are sorted after pickup. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, and metal, electronics, and green waste are recycled. For a big cleanout, this matters because it keeps the bulk of what you haul away from ending up in a landfill.
There are some items the crew cannot take. Hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos, are not accepted. If you are unsure about an item, ask before the visit.
