What We Take
At Grunber, the goal is to help you clear out unwanted items—whether you’re a homeowner tackling a garage cleanout or a business owner dealing with office clutter. Below, you’ll find detailed information about the most common junk we remove, how we handle each type, and the steps we take to dispose of everything responsibly.
What We Take
.avif)
Pallet Removal
Pallets play a critical role in shipping, storage, and organization—especially for businesses. They provide a stable base for transporting goods, protect products from damage, and keep stockrooms in order. However, when pallets become worn out, broken, or simply accumulate over time, they can quickly become a liability rather than an asset.
Types of Pallets We Remove
Wood Pallets:
The most common type, made from hardwood or softwood. Many can be refurbished or recycled into new pallets or mulch.
Plastic Pallets:
These sturdy pallets can crack over time. Once collected, they’re sent to specialized facilities that melt and repurpose the plastic.
Presswood & Composite:
Lightweight pallets that can often be broken down and recycled into wood-based products.
Oversized Pallets:
Custom sizes for specific industries can still be broken down for repurposing or recycling.
Cardboard Removal
Cardboard is one of the most commonly used packaging materials today. It’s lightweight, affordable, and easy to fold into various shapes. As a result, households and businesses alike end up with large amounts of cardboard—ranging from product deliveries to moving supplies.
Common Cardboard Items
Moving Boxes:
Don’t let boxes from your last move keep stacking up.
Shipping & Packaging Materials:
Ideal for businesses dealing with regular deliveries.
Corrugated Cardboard Sheets:
Often used for cushioning or product separation.
Food Packaging:
(Clean-only) Cardboard from pantries, grocery stores, or cafeterias.
Cardboard Bales:
Perfect for malls, industries, and larger retailers. We load and remove compacted bales using trucks with lift gates and pallet jacks, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free pickup.

Furniture Removal
Over time, furniture can become outdated, worn out, or simply take up space that could be used for something else. Whether you’re upgrading home décor or revamping an office, dealing with bulky items is often the biggest challenge.
Types of Furniture We Remove
Living Room Sets:
Couches, loveseats, recliners, and sectionals.
Bedroom Furniture:
Mattresses, bed frames, dressers, and nightstands (non-hazardous only).
Office Furniture:
Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and cubicles.
Dining & Kitchen:
Tables, chairs, and barstools.
Miscellaneous Pieces:
Bookcases, patio furniture, and entertainment centers.
Scrap Metal Removal
Scrap metal comes in many forms—old shelving, broken machinery, leftover construction materials, and more. Grunber offers comprehensive scrap metal pickup and disposal services, ensuring each piece is recycled in accordance with environmental guidelines.
Types of Scrap Metal We Remove
Aluminum:
From soda cans to vehicle parts, aluminum is highly recyclable.
Steel & Iron:
Common in appliances, pipes, and structural beams.
Copper & Brass:
Often found in wiring, plumbing fixtures, and decorative pieces.
Mixed Metal Loads:
: If you aren’t sure which metals you have, we’ll sort and recycle them for you.
Appliances:
We safely and efficiently remove a wide range of appliances, including refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, dryers, washers, boilers, furnaces, water heaters, radiators, and oil tanks.
Commercial Junk Removal
Running a business can produce a surprising amount of junk—from broken office chairs and outdated equipment to surplus inventory that no longer sells. Grunber understands the fast-paced nature of commercial environments and provides prompt, reliable solutions so you can focus on day-to-day operations. Whether you manage a small retail shop or oversee multiple corporate locations, our nationwide network is equipped to handle large-scale pickups with minimal disruption to your workflow.
Common Commercial Items We Handle
Office Furniture & Equipment
Desks, chairs, cubicles, filing cabinets, and conference tables that are worn out, outdated, or simply taking up valuable space.
Retail Fixtures & Displays
Shelving units, mannequins, point-of-sale counters, and more. Perfect for seasonal store revamps or major reorganizations.
Warehouse Debris
Pallets, shipping crates, surplus packaging, and damaged merchandise that can clutter up loading docks and storage areas.
Restaurant & Bar Clearouts
Old kitchen equipment, refrigerators, and other commercial appliances needing safe and fast removal.
Property Management Cleanouts
Ideal for eviction cleanouts, foreclosures, and tenant move-outs. We quickly clear out everything left behind so you can rent or sell sooner.
Piano Removal
A piano can be the heart of a home or music venue—until it’s time to move or replace it. These instruments are incredibly heavy, often fragile, and can become a major obstacle if they’re no longer in use.
Grunber’s specialized piano removal service takes the stress out of hauling away these hefty items, preserving both your space and the instrument (if it’s still playable).
Types of Pianos We Remove
Upright Pianos:
Often found in homes and small music venues; we carefully maneuver these through tight doorways and stairs.
Grand & Baby Grand Pianos:
Larger, heavier models that require special handling and protective measures to prevent damage.
Digital Pianos & Keyboards:
While lighter, these can still be bulky, especially if mounted on stands or within cabinets.
Organs & Console Pianos:
Heavier than many upright models, often featuring additional internal components.

Customer Testimonials

Mattress Removal
Wow! Just......WOW! After having a mattress on my porch for months, I finally found a company to recycle it. The whole process couldn't have been easier. From the website, to the online chat, to getting the invoice, to paying, and finally to haul away, it was simple. The person assisting me through chat was very helpful. And pick up was super fast! An hour after I paid the invoice the mattresses were gone. They also do junk removal which I plan on taking advantage of as well. Thanks Grunber for a seamless experience.
Pam Berrigan
Same-day Removal
We finally get two trashy tenants moved out who left a yardful of trash on Sept 1st we have to haul away quickly before the city enforcement come to give us a fine. These guys responded quickly and professionally. Within three hours of my call, all the trash in the yard were gone. Definitely recommend them.
Julianne Li
Highly Recommended Service
I have worked with Leonardo Vargas and the folks at Grunber on multiple occasions over the past few months and every time has been EXCELLENT. Leonardo is the nicest guy. Thoughtful and friendly. He listens to every request and gladly provides amazing service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Grunber to anyone who needs to have things removed and quickly. And at the best prices!
Mike Ariel
Efficient and Reliable
After some research, I suggested to my employer that we enlist Grunber to clean out a client's condo. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Leonardo initially came out to give us an estimate and promptly emailed it that evening. We thought the quote was very reasonable and quickly booked their services. We set up a day for them to come out and his team was on time, ready to go. They cleaned out a three-story condo unit with some stuff in the attic and garage, removed the wall-to-wall carpet and a built-in chair lift from the entry way to the stair landing and from the first floor to the second floor. What we initially thought would be a 3-day job was completed in ONE day. They were thoughtful and considerate, and we will definitely reach back out to them with future projects.
Joanne Rateau
Hardworking and Thorough
Leo and his team were excellent. On a very hot and humid day they emptied two floors of furniture and an attic with 54 years of collected “junk”. Never complained, just put their heads down and finished the job. Took a little longer than anticipated but the house and yard were left in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend them for your next clean out.
Terry Mahoney
Affordable and Professional
Received several quotes and Grunber was definitely the least expensive. He arrived on time, was friendly and professional. I will be definitely recommending this company to friends, family and clients.
