FROM THE CREW
These tips come from thousands of junk removal jobs in Charlottesville. Use them to save money, do it right, and help someone else in the process.
1. Price by volume, not item count
Junk removal is priced by truck space — not pieces. Describe the space you're clearing (a 2-car garage, a basement room), not the item list. Call 434-230-4551.
2. Use a coupon code — they're real
FULL175 saves $175 on a full load ($599 → $424). QUARTER49 saves $49 on quarter. HALF100 saves $100 on half. Mention when you call. Valid May 1, 2026 – Jan 1, 2027.
3. Don't throw away what someone needs
65%+ of every Albemarle Moving load is donated to local families before disposal. Habitat ReStore at 1221 Harris Street also accepts furniture and building materials.
4. Fridges need freon recovery first
Refrigerants are federally regulated. Albemarle Moving handles certified freon recovery on every fridge job. Use FREON17 to waive the $17 fee.
5. Same-day is available most weekdays
Call before 10am. No rush fee — same $149–$599 pricing. Fastest way to stop living around the pile.
6. Estate cleanouts — call 48 hours ahead
For estate or hoarder cleanouts, 24–48 hours notice ensures the right crew size. Use ESTATE329 for $329 off on 2+ truck jobs.
7. Gas appliances — disconnect before we arrive
Gas must be shut off and disconnected before our crew handles a gas stove or dryer. We handle everything after disconnection.
8. Ivy MUC is where it legally goes
Ivy Materials Utilization Center at 4576 Dick Woods Road is Albemarle County's legal disposal site. Ask any company you hire where they actually take your junk.
9. Check your garage before clearing it
Charlottesville garages often have tools, collectibles, and furniture worth more than they look. Walk through before the truck arrives.
10. Leave a Google review the same day
46 five-star reviews and counting — each from a real customer who took 60 seconds. It's the single best thing you can do for a small local business if the job went well.
Use active codes: FULL175 ($175 off full load), HALF100 ($100 off half), QUARTER49 ($49 off quarter). Price-match guarantee. Call 434-230-4551.
Identify items for donation. Disconnect gas appliances. Set aside anything you want to keep in the removal area. The rest we handle.
