How housing varies across Boone County

Boone County is a mix of older established neighborhoods and newer construction. About 34 percent of homes were built before 1980, which means many properties have original appliances, heavy furniture, and basements that have collected decades of use. For those homes, estate and basement cleanouts are a common need.

At the other end, about 16 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later. Newer construction often means different challenges, like tight staircases in multi-story houses and builder-grade appliances that need replacing sooner. About 1,303 new homes were authorized here in 2024, so that newer stock keeps growing.

Roughly 60 percent of homes are single-family detached, while about 19 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. That spread means the crew works in both houses with yards and apartments with shared hallways and elevators.

About 42 percent of occupied homes are rented, so turnover cleanouts between tenants are a regular part of the work.

How a Junk Rhinos pickup works in Boone County

The process starts with a ballpark estimate up front from a photo or description. Then a firm all-in price is confirmed for free on-site before any work starts. You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck.

Pricing is by volume. You pay for the space your load takes up in the truck, not by the hour and not by the item. There is no deposit and no online payment required to book, and there are no hidden fees.

The crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces and tight spaces. Point the crew at what goes, and set aside or flag anything being kept. Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before the crew leaves.

• Same-day and next-day pickups in most areas
• Crews are fully insured and arrive in branded uniforms
• Service runs Mon-Sun, 7am to 7pm

Where your junk goes after it leaves Boone County

Loads are sorted before anything is hauled away. Electronics, metal, and green waste are handled separately because each takes a different route. Televisions, computers, and other electronics go to certified e-waste recyclers, while metal from appliances is recycled responsibly.

Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities. Green waste from yard work is composted or recycled when possible. This sorting happens on every job, so the truck does not just take everything to one place.

The crew cannot take hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents and asbestos. Ask before the visit if you are unsure about an item.
