An honest and transparent company to work with. I had a rather unusual task of reorganizing my shop and tooling, as well as moving debris and junk in the process. I plan on doing business again with these guys real soon.

About Van Alstyne
Van Alstyne sits on US-75 right about where Collin County hands off to Grayson. It's still a small town, but it's on the road everybody takes north, so it's been growing at the edges while the middle of it stays much the same.
A lot of what we work on here isn't in a subdivision at all — it's a place on a few acres with a barn, a shop, and forty years of things that accumulated behind them.
What comes up in Van Alstyne
Acreage work is the pattern. Sheds and barns that have outlived their use, fence lines being replaced, brush and limbs stacked after a storm, and scrap metal that's been in the same pile long enough to have grass growing through it.
In town it's the more ordinary mix — furniture, appliances, garage clear-outs, and estate work in the older homes near the middle of town.
What do Van Alstyne households need hauled?
In the older blocks near downtown, it's usually indoor stuff. A sofa that won't fit after a move, a washer that quit, or a spare bedroom filled with boxes.
Out on the bigger properties, the pile tends to live outdoors. Rusted scrap, old lumber, broken patio sets and whatever's stacked behind the shop all fit on the trailer.
Booking is simple: text photos, settle on a day, and we load, haul and leave the area broom-swept. Our junk removal service page lists what we take.
What will Van Alstyne's weekly bulk pickup take?
CWD collects bulk every week on trash day, capped at 2 cubic yards with no single item over 150 pounds. That's laid out on CWD's Van Alstyne page.
Brush has no volume cap, but it must be tied in bundles up to 4 by 2 feet and 50 pounds. Loose brush gets left behind.
Commercial construction and remodel debris is excluded, along with tires, batteries and propane. For paint and chemicals, CWD runs a monthly door-side program that you book two weeks ahead.
When does calling a hauler beat waiting on CWD?
The 150-pound limit rules out plenty. An old chest freezer, a cast-iron tub or a solid wood armoire can run past it, and we carry those out for you.
Storm cleanup is the other big one. After a blow, nobody wants to tie a downed limb into 4-by-2 bundles, so we load it as it lies. See brush and limb hauling for details.
We can't take tires either, so set those aside for a separate trip. Everything else on our list rides on the same trailer.
Do you tear down sheds in Van Alstyne?
We do light teardown on acreage, such as small sheds and worn-out fence runs. Anything structural, or anything needing heavy machinery, is outside our work.
Van Alstyne's permits page lists demolitions, and removing an accessory building, among work that needs a building permit. Each teardown is quoted per job once we've seen it.
A permit, where the city wants one, is normally pulled by the homeowner or the general contractor. When it's needed and no one else is pulling it, we usually can, for an extra fee that depends on the city.
