Fort Collins, CO (PRUnderground) November 13th, 2026

Fort Collins Junk Removal, an independent, locally owned junk removal and hauling company, is giving Northern Colorado homeowners and businesses a homegrown alternative to national franchise haulers. The company has served the region for more than a decade. It offers free estimates, flexible evening and weekend scheduling, and same-day service for emergencies.

Because it pays no franchise fees, Fort Collins Junk Removal says it can keep its rates well below those of franchise competitors. The company backs that claim with a price challenge: it will review any competitor’s written estimate and work to beat it.

“We’re from Fort Collins, our crew lives here, and we don’t send franchise fees out of state,” said Ryan Dernbach, owner of Fort Collins Junk Removal. “That lets us charge less and show up faster for our neighbors.”

The company sorts every load and sends usable items to donation partners such as Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity, or to recycling. Today, up to 70% of the items it collects are recycled or donated, and the landfill is a last resort.

“Most of what people call junk still has a second life,” Dernbach said. “Our job is to find it one before anything goes to the landfill.”

Fort Collins Junk Removal hauls almost anything except hazardous materials such as chemicals, paint, oils and biohazards. For residential and commercial customers, it removes appliances, furniture, mattresses, electronics, hot tubs, scrap metal, tires and office equipment. It also handles garage, basement, attic and estate cleanouts, yard waste and tree removal, renovation debris, and light demolition and dismantling.

Pricing depends on how much truck space a load fills, how accessible it is, and how long it takes to haul. Customers can get a free estimate by phone, on site, or by texting a photo of their items. Each job comes with one all-inclusive price, and work begins only after the customer approves the quote.

The company serves Fort Collins, Loveland, Laporte, Timnath and surrounding Northern Colorado communities, including ZIP codes 80521 through 80528 and 80553.
