Junk Removal in Des Moines County, IA

A house that has been standing since before 1980 collects things in every room. Across Des Moines County, about 75 percent of homes were built before that year, which means decades of stored furniture, appliances, and boxes are common. Junk Rhinos clears those spaces out for you.

We handle the carrying, the sorting, and the loading from any property in the county. Whether you are in town or on a farmstead, the crew arrives ready to work.

How Des Moines County Homes and Properties Differ

Des Moines County is rural, and the housing stock reflects that. About 78 percent of homes here are single-family detached, which means cleanouts often involve outbuildings, porches, and larger lots.

With about 93 people per square mile across 416.1 square miles, the distance between properties can be significant, so a job in Burlington may look very different from one near Yarmouth.

The age of homes varies as well. The median year housing was built here is 1958, and about 5 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later. Older homes tend to have basements and attics packed with decades of accumulation, while newer construction often has garages full of boxes and old gear.

About 27 percent of occupied homes are rented, which creates demand for move-out and eviction cleanouts. With 18,778 housing units in the county, the mix of owner-occupied and rental properties means the crew sees everything from a single room to a whole farmhouse.

How a Junk Rhinos Pickup Works Across Des Moines County

Same-day and next-day pickups are available in most areas, so you can book when you are ready. The crew works Monday through Sunday from 7am to 7pm, giving you a full week of options.

You get a ballpark estimate up front from a photo or description, then a firm all-in price confirmed for free on-site before any work starts. You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck, with no deposit and no hidden fees.

• The crew does all the lifting, including stairs and tight spaces.
• Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before they leave.
• Loads are sorted; usable items are donated and metal is recycled.

What Your Pricing Covers in This County

Junk Rhinos prices by volume, so you pay for the space your load takes up in the truck, not by the hour or by the item. That structure works well for rural properties where a truck may travel farther between stops.

Because about 55 new homes were authorized here in 2024, construction debris is a common call. The same volume-based pricing applies to drywall, lumber, and fixtures from a remodel as it does to an old couch.

What Junk Rhinos Cannot Take From Your Property

Hazardous materials are the one category the crew cannot haul. Paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos are not accepted, so ask before the visit if you are unsure about an item.

Everything else is sorted at the curb or truck. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, and metal, electronics, and green waste are recycled whenever possible.
