Do not let the lowest teaser price make the decision for you.
The low-ball approach
- Advertise a number that covers very little
- Wait until arrival to settle the real price
- Put customers through a call center or sales pitch
- Treat donation and recycling as an afterthought
The Dakota Valley way
- Text photos and skip the estimate visit
- Review the written quote before booking
- Confirm an available pickup window with the crew that fits your day
- Route usable and recyclable items responsibly
Where your junk goes
Donated, recycled, composted — not dumped.
Every load gets sorted by destination instead of heading to a landfill. Tell the crew which items are donation candidates and they route them with the rest.
Donated
Usable furniture and household goods go to Bridging, Arc’s Value Village, and Savers.
Recycled
Metal to certified recyclers, electronics to R2-certified e-waste facilities, mattresses to certified Minnesota mattress recycling.
Composted
Brush, branches, and compostable yard material routed to certified compost facilities.
The hard stuff
The heavy, awkward items most haulers refuse.
If it's bulky, heavy, or a pain to break down, it's exactly what we're set up for. Text a photo and we'll quote it.
Service areas
Minnesota coverage with routes that make sense.

About Dakota Valley
Twin Cities-grown since 2023.
Dakota Valley Junk Removal started in 2023 with one truck serving Minneapolis and St. Paul. The routes now reach across Minnesota, but the principles have stayed simple: honest communication, dependable service, and responsible disposal.
Donation partners include Bridging, Arc's Value Village, and Savers. Loads are sorted for donation, recycling, and compost when practical instead of automatically heading to a landfill.
The team lives in the same communities it serves—from Edina and Eagan to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Every job gets the same attention, whether it is one bulky item or a full property cleanout.

FAQ
Quick answers before you text.
What is the minimum pickup price?
Eligible curbside, driveway or accessible-garage pickups have an $85 minimum. This is not a flat price for every item. Send photos for the exact total in writing before booking. The written quote covers the items, volume, weight, access and disposal needs shown in your photos and details. When those match, the approved total stays the same. Any change to the agreed scope requires a revised quote that you approve before work begins.
Why do you quote from photos?
Photos show the actual volume, item type, access, and disposal needs. That lets the crew give you a more accurate written quote without scheduling an on-site sales visit.
Will the price change when the crew arrives?
The written quote covers the items, volume, weight, access and disposal needs shown in your photos and details. When those match, the approved total stays the same. Any change to the agreed scope requires a revised quote that you approve before work begins.
Do you serve my city or county?
Send your pickup address to confirm service and route availability before booking. A listed city or county is not a guarantee of an available pickup time.
When is the soonest you can pick up?
Pickup is by appointment after you approve the written quote and the crew confirms an available window. Timing depends on your address, job size and route capacity. Same-day pickup may be available, but is not guaranteed.
Do I need to be home during pickup?
You do not have to be home when the crew has confirmed safe access to all approved items at the curb, in the driveway or in an accessible garage. Arrange access in advance; the crew does not enter living areas.
What items do you remove?
Furniture, appliances, mattresses, yard waste, construction debris, exercise equipment, office furniture, and general household items. Larger jobs such as hot tubs and estate cleanouts are quoted from photos.
What items do you not accept?
For safety and legal reasons, hazardous waste, medical waste, asbestos, biological waste, and explosives are not accepted. Text a photo first when you are unsure.
Do you recycle or donate items?
Yes. Usable furniture and household goods are routed to donation partners when practical, while electronics, mattresses, metal, and compostable material are sent to appropriate recycling or processing facilities.
