The Junk Thief is a hauling and waste disposal company servicing the entire NOVA area. We offer Recycling, Donations & disposal of unwanted debris.
"We used The Junk Thief to remove pieces of an old asphalt driveway from our property on March 23. I was in over my head with the size of the project and didn't know where to turn. They called within minutes of my post on Angi's List website, arrived promptly, and did an excellent job. The crew was very friendly and I hope my neighbors can give them more business in the future. I would definitely recommend this company for any junk or hauling needs."

At Dumpster Bags, we didn’t just enter the waste removal industry—we redefined it. Traditional dumpsters are bulky, expensive, and often more trouble than they’re worth. We saw an opportunity to bring a smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective solution to homeowners, contractors, and businesses alike. By introducing large, durable, and flexible dumpster bags, we made junk removal easier, more affordable, and accessible to everyone.
"Great service. Highly recommend. Would use again."

"Very professional, before the actual move. During, items were dragged on concrete instead of picked up and the lead mover damaged a sconce at our new house. One of the crew was smoking pot in the breezeway. They left trash all over from the water bottles we gave them and the lunch we provided to them. Customer service is non existent, the national emails get answered and referred locally, which goes nowhere. Apparently they only respond to reviews. Those things aside, one of the movers made my wife uncomfortable. She waited until the end of the move to tell me. She said he kept touching her shoulders, and while I had seen it she can take care of herself. She was asking if we should tip the full amount because she had been made uncomfortable. We ended up tipping generously because it was a hot day, but when she brought it to Maxwells attention (the crew leader) he immediately said "thats not how he comes across" and tried to gaslight her that nothing like that could have happened. The guy in question was smoking weed on the job, touching my wife each time he passed her. Additionally, the crew member informed this guy afterwards and he came back to the house - not to apologize, but to confront her and call her a liar. That night I texted the crew lead, and asked him if he could check the truck because I was having trouble finding a box. His response, copied from the text: >I can't check the back of the truck because I'm home already but even if I could no because I asked for you and your wife to check the back of the truck. Plus your wife said that my coworker was inappropriate and she's lying Avoiding getting into the heresay, this is beyond unprofessional. I reached out to customer service about the sconce, and about the behavior of the crew. They 'forwarded' the claim to the local office. I followed up two weeks later, and they again forwarded it to the local office. Apparently bad reviews are the only way to get their attention. Learn from my mistake, use a different company. We were quoted between 1400 and 1900 for 5-7 hours of work. The crew took regular, long breaks. We ended up paying over 2k for the total, to move a 2bd apt w/o appliances about 40 miles...and when they opened the back of the truck nothing was secured and stuff was laying all over the place. Would not recommend. They owe me money for the sconce, inappropriately touched my wife, they called both me and my wife liars, and were all around unprofessional. This was the gaithersburg/rockville location."

Garbage removal services FAQs
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
Contact your local municipality to request garbage collection services. In most areas, your local city or municipality manages garbage collection, which contracts a waste collection company to do trash collection and other garbage collection and disposal services. However, if you can’t wait for the next trash collection day, you can also contact a local junk removal service to come and haul away your garbage. Confirm with any junk removal companies what items they will take. If you’re renovating your home or have a lot of garbage to get rid of, consider renting a dumpster.
A garbage collection pro or junk removal company can typically take anything from a single item such as refrigerator to the entire contents of a house or out-building being emptied. One exception is disposing of hazardous waste (like bleach or used oil), which is typically handled by your municipality. Check reviews, references, and qualifications of any company you hire to collect garbage. Ask what the company’s limitations are, what tools and equipment they use, and their availability.
Disposing of old paint, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal.
