Junk Removal
Junk Removal - Where it all started
It all started with one carport full of junk — and a friend’s trailer ready for action. That first job kicked off Just Ask Alex Junk Removal, and we haven’t stopped hauling since! From cluttered garages to full home clean-outs, we bring the muscle, the trailer, and a thumbs-up attitude every single time.
Proudly serving Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties with fast, friendly, and reliable junk removal.
Move-out Junk removal for a 55+ Community— Puyallup, WA
This move-out clean-out in Puyallup, WA took place in a 55+ community where the homeowner was transitioning into assisted living. Her home had already sold and she needed to be fully moved out by the end of the month. While her family packed and removed the larger belongings, the leftover items — the small things in closets, patios, garages, and hallways — still needed to be cleared quickly. As this project shows, the little stuff adds up fast. What started as “just a few items left behind” turned into a full trailer load in no time. We stepped in to make the move-out stress-free, on schedule, and completely handled from start to finish.
Before — Small loveseat left behind during the move-out.
Before — Desk and misc items needing removal.
Before — Cedar chest left behind in the closet.
Before — Patio table ready for haul-away.
Before — Grill, planters, and bench pieces on the patio.
Before — Old blue yard trash can and garden debris.
Before — Planter and yard clutter along the walkway.

Before — Garage shelf with old chemicals.
Before — Garage clutter pile with chairs and boxes.
Before — Tools, garden rakes, and trash staged for pickup.
During — Trailer filling quickly with small household items.
After — Garage fully cleared and swept out.
Even when most items have already been moved out, the leftover “little stuff” in garages, patios, and closets can fill a trailer fast. For this homeowner in Puyallup, we handled the last of the cleanup so she could transition smoothly into assisted living and meet her deadline without stress. If you need dependable, deadline-ready move-out junk removal, we’re here to help.
Lot Clearing & Junk Removal — Crystal Springs Mobile Home Park, Sumner, WA
Day 1 — Before Cleanup
This is one of our bigger projects, to show the scale at which we can work with. The property management company for Crystal Springs Mobile Home Park hired us to clear the junk that was illegally dumped at the front entrance of the park and inside one of their empty lots. The lot was heavily overgrown and filled with years of abandoned items, trash piles, and debris scattered along the fence line and behind the shed. Since the management team planned to convert the area into additional parking for residents, they needed a full clean-out completed quickly. These Day 1 photos document the entire area before we began this multi-day cleanup project.

DAY 2 — CLEANUP & LOT CLEARING PROGRESS
On Day 2, we concentrated on removing all large debris the property management team needed eliminated before converting the lot into additional resident parking. This included hauling out bulky furniture, metal, loose trash, and long-abandoned items from the fence line and shed area. We also continued addressing illegal dumping at the park entrance to maintain a clean and safe appearance for the community. By the end of the day, the majority of the lot was opened up and prepared for the final cleanup phase.

On Day 3, we focused on clearing the last heavy debris and preparing the lot for its final cleanup. This day included sorting leftover household junk, staging recyclable scrap metal, and breaking down large metal pieces with a sawzall so everything could be hauled in a single run. After loading the first full trailer of mixed debris, we returned for a second run dedicated exclusively to scrap metal, which we delivered to the recycling center. These photos show the final push—sorting, cutting, loading, and hauling out the remaining items so the property management team at Crystal Springs Mobile Home Park could move forward with converting the lot into new resident parking.
