Junk Removal and Hauling in Ellis County, KS

Ellis County homes have been accumulating things for a long time. With about 65 percent of homes built before 1980, decades of belongings tend to collect in basements, garages, and spare rooms. Junk Rhinos helps clear that buildup across the county, from Hays to the smaller communities around it.

Whether you are dealing with an older home's clutter or a recent project's leftovers, the crew handles the heavy lifting. You point out what goes, and the team sorts, carries, and loads it into the truck.

How Conditions Vary Across Ellis County

Ellis County is a rural area with about 32 people per square mile across its 899.9 square miles. That means homes are spread out, and the distance between properties can be significant.

The crew travels to all 8 ZIP codes here, so a pickup in Hays is as straightforward as one in a more remote spot.

The housing stock reflects the county's history. About 71 percent of homes are single-family detached, and the median year built is 1972. Older homes often have basements and attics that fill up over the years, which is why estate cleanouts and basement cleanouts are common requests.

Newer construction is limited, with about 36 new homes authorized in 2024. That keeps the demand focused on clearing out established properties rather than managing new-build debris. About 38 percent of occupied homes are rented, so landlords and property managers also call on Junk Rhinos to handle turnover cleanouts.

How a Junk Rhinos Pickup Works in Ellis County

Pricing is based on volume, so you pay for the space your load takes in the truck, not by the hour or by the item. You can get a ballpark estimate from a photo or description, and then a firm all-in price is confirmed for free on-site before any work starts.

There is no deposit and no online payment required to book. You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck, with no hidden fees. Same-day and next-day pickups are available in most areas.

• The crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces.
• Point the crew at what goes; set aside or flag anything being kept.
• Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before the crew leaves.
• Crews are fully insured and arrive in branded uniforms.

What Junk Rhinos Cannot Accept

Hazardous materials are the main exception to what the crew can take. Paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos cannot be hauled by Junk Rhinos. If you are unsure about an item, ask before the visit.

Everything else is sorted at the truck. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, and metal, electronics, and green waste are recycled when possible. The goal is to keep as much out of the landfill as the items allow.
