Junk Removal in Claflin, Kansas
We clear sheds, garages, basements and full houses in Claflin, 17 miles northeast of Great Bend. We carry it out, load it and haul it away.
Junk Removal in Claflin, KS
$40 a cubic yard, $32 if it's already at the curb.
Claflin is farm country. Most of what we clear here is outbuildings, machine sheds and barns, and there's usually more metal in a Claflin load than a town one.
That metal is worth telling us about. It goes to the scrap yard, not the landfill, and on a load that's mostly steel it changes the price.
The other common one is a family clearing a house all at once, usually over a weekend when everybody can be there.

Great consistent pick up, communication is the best, even did an extra paid pickup on a pile of junk on short notice.

Thank you Bin Wranglers for deep cleaning my trash bin. Thanks for taking your time and doing a great job! The bin now looks new and has my entire garage smelling good.
