Junk Removal in Ellinwood, Kansas
We clear sheds, garages, basements and full houses in Ellinwood, 10 miles east of Great Bend. We carry it out, load it and haul it away.
Junk Removal in Ellinwood, KS
$40 a cubic yard, $32 if it's already at the curb.
Ellinwood has more below-ground storage than most towns its size. We clear cellars and basements far more often here than in Hoisington or Claflin, and back buildings that nobody has opened in years.
We quote cellar jobs differently. Carrying a load up a set of cellar stairs takes longer than walking it out of a garage, so when you call, tell us where it is as well as how much there is.
Everything worth saving still goes to Golden Belt Thrift Store or the Salvation Army before anything goes to the landfill.

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.
About Ellinwood, Barton County
Ellinwood sits in the southeast corner of Barton County on US 56, just north of the Arkansas River and on the old Santa Fe Trail route. The 1903 brick depot is still standing, and there's a set of tunnels under the downtown that used to be shops and are still down there.
In Ellinwood we do junk removal. The town is old enough that a lot of the housing stock predates the Second World War, and the storage that came with those houses is below ground more often than it is in a garage.

Ellinwood's Mid-Century Housing
Two out of three homes in Ellinwood were built before 1960, the second-highest share of the seven towns we have pages for, and nearly a quarter were built before 1940. We clear basements and detached garages in houses that age.
Three in four homes here are owner-occupied, and only about 12% are vacant. For an estate or a move into something smaller, we bring the 20-yard trailer for a full-house clearout.
Figures: U.S. Census ACS 2019–2023.
Estate Cleanouts in Ellinwood
Ellinwood has the highest share of residents 65 or older of the seven, about 30%, and about 43% of households include someone that age. Downsizing and estate cleanouts are a big part of our junk work, and we do all the lifting.
Nearly three in ten Ellinwood households moved in before 2000, and about 19% before 1990. A house lived in that long usually has a full basement or garage to clear.

Trash Pickup in Ellinwood
We don't run the weekly trash route in Ellinwood yet. Ellinwood is about ten miles east on US 56 and the trash route is Great Bend only, so a route there would have to be its own run.
If you want pickup in Ellinwood, call (620) 314-8908 and we'll put your address on the list. When we bring the route the 10 miles out to Ellinwood, we work down that list, and the people on it hear first.
Using the County Landfill From Ellinwood
Barton County's landfill is on the other side of Great Bend from Ellinwood, off NE 30 Road past the college, and you take US 56 most of the way there. You can take almost anything from a cleanout there: furniture, mattresses, household waste, shingles, drywall, concrete, and e-waste like TVs and computers.
Cover the load. Kansas requires loads to be secured on the highway, and the county charges an extra 50 percent at the gate for a loose load. The landfill is also closed on severe-windy days, which is worth knowing if you've already rented a trailer.
The full accepted and unacceptable lists are at Barton County Solid Waste.
