About Melissa
Melissa is our closest neighbor going north — about twelve minutes up US-75 and we're there. It's grown fast in the last decade without losing the older rural properties around its edges.
That mix is the whole character of the job here: new subdivisions on one road, acreage with a barn on the next.
What comes up in Melissa
In the new neighborhoods it's move-in leftovers and garage clutter. Out on the acreage it's the opposite — brush and limbs after a storm, old fence panels and scrap metal.
Being this close makes Melissa one of the easier places for us to fit in when something opens up on the schedule.
What does residential junk removal in Melissa include?
Inside the house, we take couches, mattresses, dressers, appliances and whatever the last move left in the garage. Outside, it's limbs, brush piles and scrap metal from the edges of larger lots.
If you've been searching for junk removal near you in Melissa, we're about as close as it gets. Text a few photos, choose a time Monday through Saturday, and we'll carry, load and sweep.
You won't get a sales pitch. You get someone who knows how to pack a trailer tight and leave the floor clean. That's what a junk removal expert in Melissa should look like.
How does Melissa's monthly bulk pickup work?
Melissa's bulk items page says CWD picks up bulk free once a month, with no call needed. Your Friday is set by your trash day, and items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. The city puts one cubic yard at about one washing machine.
The limit is 4 cubic yards, with nothing over 150 pounds. Refrigerators and freezers need a tag certifying the refrigerant was removed, and loose debris must be boxed.
Brush must be bundled, at most 4 by 2 feet and 40 pounds, and loose brush isn't taken. The Melissa bulk trash and brush guide covers every detail.
When should you skip the wait and call a hauler?
A storm can drop more limbs than anyone wants to saw and tie into 40-pound bundles. A full garage can top 4 cubic yards in an afternoon, and your bulk Friday may be weeks away.
Residents can drive loads to the 121 landfill themselves, but Melissa's landfill page says brush there costs the posted gate rate. That's because the city doesn't take part in the compost program.
We handle the carrying and loading in one visit. Same-day service is possible when the schedule has an opening. Nothing waits on the curb for a month.
