About Sherman
Sherman is the biggest town we run in Grayson County and the one that has changed the most. Texas Instruments built its 300mm semiconductor fab here — an investment north of $30 billion, the largest private investment in the state's history, and the reason so much of the town is either going up or being cleared out.
On top of that, Austin College has been downtown since long before any of it, and the older neighborhoods around the center of town have the housing stock to match.
What comes up in Sherman
Thousands of people moving into a town that size means constant turnover, and that's where most of our Sherman work comes from. Rentals being emptied between tenants, houses cleared before they list, and move-outs that leave half a garage behind.
The older homes near downtown give us the estate and downsizing jobs — families settling a property that's been in the same hands a long time. It's about forty minutes from the shop, so we like to know a day or two ahead when we can.
What does a Sherman junk removal job usually involve?
A lot of Sherman work is turnover. Landlords call when a unit needs emptying before the next lease, and sellers call when a house has to be clear before listing photos.
We take furniture, bedding, kitchen leftovers, garage clutter and anything else that isn't on our short no-go list. For rentals, our tenant move-out cleanouts leave the unit broom-swept and ready for your make-ready crew.
The plan stays the same as anywhere else: photos by text, a time on the calendar, then we load up, haul off and sweep.
How does Sherman's bulk and brush collection work?
Sherman offers free bulk and brush collection once a month, but you have to call it in. Requests go through the Sherman app, the city website or 903-892-7777, as the city's bulk and brush page explains.
Each pickup takes up to 5 cubic yards of bulk and up to 10 of brush, set out in two separate piles. Limbs can't be longer than 6 feet or thicker than 12 inches.
Crews skip root balls, stumps and anything bagged or tied. They also leave tires, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, hazmat, liquids, concrete, shingles and dirt or rock.
When does a hauler make more sense than the city?
One pickup a month doesn't fit a lease turnover with a deadline. If the next tenant moves in Friday, the last one's leftovers can't wait for a call-in date.
The city's citizens' drop-off station on S East St asks for a driver's license and a current water bill. An owner who lives elsewhere may not have that bill in hand.
Bagged trash is the other gap, since city crews skip it. We take bags right along with the furniture, and our Sherman and Denison pickup guide covers the city options in more depth.
Do you do light demolition in Sherman?
Yes. Small structures and interior tear-outs are covered on our Sherman light demolition page, and each job is quoted after we see it.
Sherman requires a demolition permit for any residential use, including internal demolition, per its permits-required list.
That permit is usually pulled by the general contractor or the homeowner. If it's needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually handle it ourselves for an added fee, which varies by city.

Sherman: common questions
Can you clear a rental the week the tenant leaves?
Send photos as soon as you have the keys and we'll find the first open day. Same-day is possible when the schedule allows, but Sherman runs go smoother with notice.
Do I need to split brush and bulk into separate piles?
No. That's a city rule for its own trucks. Limbs, furniture and boxes can all go on our trailer together.
More answers on pricing, scheduling and what we take are in our full FAQ.
Sherman, TX. About 40 minutes from the shop in McKinney.
Need it gone in Sherman?
Send photos for a quote, pick a time, and we'll haul it off and sweep up. The firm price is confirmed in Sherman before anything goes on the trailer.
