I needed a dumpster for some remodeling work to dispose of debris like drywall, flooring, and appliances such as a microwave and dishwasher. A member of the community suggested this service. When I reached out to them, they responded promptly,…
Cowboy Site Services hauls construction junk out of Melissa, TX homes and job sites, from a bathroom tear-out to a barn stacked with old lumber. We load it where it sits, haul it off on the same visit and sweep up. Melissa is about 12 minutes up US-75 from our base in McKinney.
Why won't Melissa's curbside crews take remodel debris?
Melissa's monthly bulk pickup takes plenty of household items. Remodeling and construction debris is on its excluded list, though, so a pile of drywall at the curb just sits there.
The city's FAQ is plain about the trash contractor too. CWD doesn't pick up commercial demolition, construction or remodeling debris.
The free resident drop-off at the landfill doesn't solve it either. It leaves out remodeling waste of every type, and the rules section below links each source.
What we haul from Melissa remodels and builds
Melissa has grown fast without losing the older rural properties around its edges. One call is a kitchen tear-out in a new subdivision. The next is a shop on acreage that has collected building scraps for years.
If the material is already pulled and piled, it's a straight haul-off. Here's what usually rides out on the trailer.
- Drywall and sheetrock offcuts
- Lumber scraps, trim and old framing
- Tile, carpet, pad and plank flooring
- Cabinets, vanities and countertops that are already out
- Packaging, boxes and builder leftovers
- Repeat pickups while a longer job runs
Contractors and commercial job sites in Melissa
Builders and remodelers call when a roll-off won't fit the drive or the debris is spread across a site. We load from wherever it sits and leave the area swept for the next trade.
Melissa is a short run from our shop, so a second trip for a phased job is easy to set up. You don't have to stage everything for one big pickup.
If an office or retail space is being emptied rather than built out, that's commercial junk removal in Melissa. Desks, shelving and fixtures are priced the same way.
How construction debris is priced
Drywall, lumber and flooring are priced by how much trailer space they take. You get a firm price on site before anything is loaded.
Brick, block and broken concrete are heavy for their size, so we quote those from photos. Breaking out a slab or walkway is a separate job, covered on our light demolition in Melissa page.

Construction Junk Removal in Melissa: questions
Can I set leftover drywall out for Melissa's bulk Friday?
No. Melissa's bulk pickup excludes remodeling and construction debris. Our Melissa bulk pickup guide covers what the city does collect.
Will you take a small load, like one bathroom's worth?
Yes, small loads are welcome. An old vanity, a few boxes of tile and some drywall scraps is a common job. Send a photo, and we'll price it by the trailer space it takes.
Can the old appliances from a kitchen remodel go too?
Yes. The old dishwasher, range or microwave can ride out with the cabinets and flooring. Larger appliance jobs are covered on our appliance removal in Melissa page.
