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 handles construction junk removal in Plano, TX, loading drywall, flooring, cabinets, lumber and scrap from the house or driveway. We're about 25 minutes from our base in McKinney, and haul-offs are priced by trailer space starting at $189. You get a firm quote on site before anything goes on the trailer.
What comes out of a Plano remodel?
It depends a lot on which side of Central the house sits. West of US-75, near Legacy West, the work is mostly tighter remodels in denser housing. Debris tends to get staged in a garage or a short driveway.
East of Central, the houses went up in the 1970s and 80s. When those kitchens and dens get opened up, the 1980s built-ins come out with them: bookcases, desk nooks, wet bars and soffit framing.
That mix is what we load most in Plano. Torn-out cabinets, broken drywall, carpet and pad, paneling, trim and the odd vanity all ride on the same trailer.
Why the city's trucks won't solve it
Plano's bulky pickup is built for household items on a monthly schedule. Remodel rubble like brick, tile backer and roofing falls outside it, and bigger renovation loads go to a paid collection instead.
Hauling it yourself has its own catch. The resident drop-off program treats remodeling waste as a paid load, and a dump trailer pays at the gate too.
So most homeowners and small crews end up calling a hauler. We bring the truck and the 14-foot trailer, do the loading, and leave the drive swept.
Working alongside your contractor
On a bigger Plano job, the permit paperwork may already name who handles solid waste. If your contractor has that covered, we stay out of the way.
Where we fit best is the homeowner who did their own tear-out, or a small crew that needs the pile gone between phases. We can come back as many times as the job takes.
If the old cabinets or tub surround are still on the wall, that's interior demolition before a remodel, quoted per job. Already on the floor, it's a straight haul-off.
Hauling services for Plano homes beyond the remodel
Plenty of Plano calls start as debris and turn into more. An appliance swap leaves the old range in the garage, or a move-out uncovers a closet of junk.
We take all of it on one visit when it fits. Our full construction and remodel debris service explains how heavy loads like brick and tile get quoted.

Getting the pile ready for pickup
You don't need to drag anything to the curb. A little setup still makes the visit faster.
- Keep nails and screws pointed down or bundled.
- Bag loose drywall chunks and insulation where you can.
- Keep paint cans, solvents and tires off the pile, and see our household hazardous waste guide for those.
- Leave a clear lane from the pile to the driveway.

Plano draws a clear line between household junk and remodel waste, as the rules below show. Contractor projects are expected to go straight to the regional disposal facility, and the free resident drop-off excludes remodeling waste entirely. The City of Plano's bulky waste item list spells out what crews won't pick up.
That leaves a gap for the homeowner with a garage full of tear-out and no contractor hauling it. We load it, haul it to a proper facility and sweep up. Our Plano bulk trash and brush pickup guide covers the city side in more detail.

Construction Junk Removal in Plano: questions
Can you haul debris from a townhome or condo remodel near Legacy West?
Yes. Tell us about stairs, elevators or parking limits when you send photos. Those details change how long the carry takes, not the price per trailer space.
We pulled out an 80s wet bar and paneling ourselves. Is that a big load?
Usually it's lighter than it looks, since paneling and cabinet boxes stack flat. A den's worth often fits the Half Trailer Load, from $515.
Do you work in nearby towns too?
We do. Neighbors to the north can see our pages for remodel debris hauling in Allen and construction debris removal in Frisco.
