Junk removal in Manayunk
Manayunk's hills are great for views and terrible for carrying a couch. We handle the stairs so you don't have to.
Manayunk homes and what that means for junk removal
Manayunk grew up as a mill town along the Schuylkill River and the Manayunk Canal, and its rowhomes climb some of the steepest streets in Philadelphia. Plenty of homes have exterior stairs up from the street before you even reach the front door.
A lot of residents rent, so move-in and move-out turnover is constant, especially around the start and end of leases.
What usually needs to go
- Move-out furniture and mattresses
- Basement storage in older rowhomes
- Items left behind by previous tenants
- Old appliances and window units
- Bikes, grills, and patio furniture
What leaving junk can do to a Manayunk home
Water and low-lying basements
Neighborhoods near the river deal with flooding. Boxes and furniture stored on basement floors are the first things ruined when water gets in.
Steep carries
Hauling heavy items down exterior stairs and steep sidewalks is one of the easiest ways to get hurt.
Lease deadlines
Leaving furniture behind at move-out usually comes out of your deposit.
Mildew
Damp basements and stored upholstery are a recipe for musty odors that spread through the house.
Handling it yourself in Manayunk
Manayunk residents are close to the city's Northwest sanitation convenience center on Domino Lane in Roxborough. It accepts mattresses unwrapped, up to two bulk items a day, and requires proof of residency.
