We’re Not a Franchise. We’re Your Neighbors.
Albemarle Moving and Junk Removal is a 100% locally owned business rooted in Central Virginia. We are not a national franchise, not a call center somewhere else taking your information and dispatching an unknown crew. When you call 434-230-4551, you’re talking directly to the people who will show up at your door.
Our business was built around a single question we ask on every single job: before this goes to a landfill, can it help someone? That question drives how we operate, how we price our work, and how we interact with every customer we serve. We donate before we dispose — every time, not just when it’s convenient.
In 2025, that approach helped over 30 local families in Central Virginia receive furniture, appliances, and household goods from jobs just like yours. All-time, we’ve diverted 700+ tons from landfills and donated 500+ tons back into the community. That’s not a marketing claim — it’s what happens when you build the model right from the start.
Meet the Team
A small crew that takes every job seriously. You’re hiring people, not a company number.
Lucas is the owner and driving force behind Albemarle Moving and Junk Removal. He built this business on the principle that junk removal done right should help people, not just move debris from one place to another. He leads from the truck — showing up on jobs, setting the standard for quality and care, and making sure every customer gets exactly what they were promised. When you call 434-230-4551, there’s a good chance you’re talking to Lucas directly.
Brittany keeps the operation running smoothly behind the scenes — scheduling, communication, and making sure that customers are heard and taken care of from the first call to the final job. She’s the backbone of the team’s organization and the reason jobs get scheduled, confirmed, and completed without confusion. If you’ve had a great scheduling experience with us, Brittany deserves a lot of the credit.
Bradford is part of the crew and the person most likely to be hauling the piano up the staircase or cutting apart a hot tub in a tight backyard. He brings the muscle and the work ethic that makes the physically demanding jobs look manageable. Bradford approaches every job with focus and professionalism — because moving heavy things safely and efficiently takes real skill, and he has it.
What We Actually Stand For
Donate Before You Dispose
Every load gets sorted. Usable items go to local families who need them before anything goes to disposal. This is not optional on our jobs — it’s the foundation of why we exist.
Transparent Pricing
$149, $249, $329, $499. Published. Confirmed on-site before loading. No deposits. No surprises. You always know the number before we lift a single item.
Show Up When We Say
We give you a time window and we keep it. Open 24/7/365. Same-day when available. If something changes, we call you — not the other way around.
Treat People Right
Estate cleanouts, hoarding situations, difficult family circumstances — we approach every job with discretion and respect. We’re in your home. We treat it that way.
Locally Rooted
We live here. We work here. The money you pay us stays in Central Virginia. We donate to families in this community. We care about Charlottesville because it’s home.
Handle Anything
Hot tubs, pianos, safes, hoarding situations, estate clearances, commercial properties — we don’t turn down the hard jobs. If it’s not hazardous, we haul it.
Our Impact by the Numbers
What Customers Say
5.0 stars from 45 verified Google reviews. A few that stand out:
"Showed up on time, worked incredibly fast, and were so respectful of my late mother's belongings. Knowing her furniture went to a family that needed it meant everything. Would absolutely recommend."
"Called at 9am with a same-day request. They were at my door by 1pm. Hauled out an entire garage full of furniture and boxes without complaint. Honest price, great attitude."
"I've used other junk removal companies before and none of them mentioned donating. Lucas explained the whole donate-first process and I saw them set things aside themselves. Different experience."
"Got a hot tub removed from a fenced backyard. They had the right equipment, cut it apart on-site, carried it out in sections, and left the area spotless. Exactly what they said they'd do."
"Cleaned out a storage unit we'd been paying rent on for years. They were quick, efficient, and sorted everything carefully. The price was exactly what they quoted. No games."
"They drove out to Ruckersville without any issue. Cleared a large amount of old furniture and appliances from a farmhouse in one trip. Very professional from start to finish."
