From sudden cleanouts to last-minute hauls, FLX Junk Removal shows up fast and gets the job done right across Ithaca.
Junk emergencies happen when you least expect them. Maybe the landlord gave short notice. Maybe the basement flooded. Or maybe you’re rushing to clear out a space before a move or sale. Whatever the reason, when you need fast help, we’re ready.
At FLX Junk Removal, we specialize in same-day and next-day junk hauling across Ithaca and nearby towns. We’re local, we answer the phone, and we show up fast. No games, no ghosting, just real people getting the job done.
Not all junk emergencies look the same, but we’ve seen just about all of them. When time is tight and junk can’t wait, here’s how we can help:
Did a last-minute renovation project leave debris everywhere? We’ll clear out leftover materials like drywall, wood, tile, and fixtures fast.
Need a unit cleared ASAP after a tenant leaves or a property changes hands? We remove furniture, trash, and anything else left behind, so you can move forward without delay.
If your dumpster fills up too soon or your trash service misses a pickup, we can step in and haul it off right away. No waiting around for next week.
Storms can leave behind soaked furniture, broken branches, and destroyed belongings. We help clear the mess quickly so you can focus on repairs and safety.
After damage from fire or smoke, we remove destroyed items, debris, and structural junk so cleanout and restoration can begin.
Sudden move? Health issue? Safety concern? We handle hoarder-type cleanouts with care, speed, and zero judgment.
No matter what kind of mess you’re facing, we’re ready to haul it away. Here’s a look at the kinds of items we can remove on short notice:
*We sort and recycle wherever possible, and always dispose responsibly.
*Please note: While we remove a wide range of items, we don’t handle hazardous waste, wet paint, or anything requiring special permits.
We’ve made our emergency service simple and fast from the first call to the final sweep:
Time-sensitive? Just call or text us directly. We pick up quickly and ask a few basic questions about what’s going on, where you are, and what needs to go.
You’ll get a no-pressure quote right away. If you're ready, let's get moving. We can often be there the same day, sometimes within hours.
Our crew shows up fast, in uniform, with everything needed to tackle the job. No extra prep needed from you, just point us to the junk.
Big, small, wet, heavy, we take almost anything. Furniture, appliances, yard waste, construction debris, trash, and hoarder situations. We load it up fast and safely.
When junk needs to be gone now, there’s no time to waste calling around. That’s why folks across Ithaca and nearby towns turn to FLX Junk Removal when they’re in a pinch. Here’s what sets us apart when time is ticking:
We work around your schedule, not the other way around. If it’s urgent, we’ll find a way to be there fast.
We’ve handled flood-soaked basements, hoarder emergencies, last-minute move-outs, and disaster site cleanouts. We’re quick, careful, and respectful every time.
In a stressful moment, peace of mind matters. We’re a local business with proper coverage, no fly-by-night crews here.
You’ll get a clear quote upfront. If we show up and see it’s a bit more or less than expected, we’ll walk through the changes with you before doing a thing.
When Caroline was facing a stressful move, she called us in for help clearing out the leftover junk. We showed up on time, tackled two full pickups, and had everything gone in under an hour. No delays, no mess just fast, friendly service.
In her words, we were “quick, courteous, efficient,” and the pricing? “Fair and reasonable for the great work they do.” She ended her review with: “100% worth it. Heartily recommend!”
That’s the level of care we aim to bring to every job because in a moment of chaos, a little calm goes a long way.
Quick Service, Smart Disposal
Even during urgent cleanouts, we don’t just dump and go. We sort what we haul, donating usable items and recycling what we can.
Donations Stay Local
Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good shape are donated to Ithaca ReUse, Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Thrifty Shopper.
Electronics & Scrap Are Recycled
We drop off TVs, computers, and e-waste at Tompkins County Recycling or Casella (Elmira/Newfield). Metal, cardboard, and other recyclables are sorted too.
Fast, Responsible Service
You get fast emergency junk removal without sacrificing care for the community or environment.
Even in an emergency, we don’t play games with price. No hidden fees, no pushy sales talk, and no guessing. You’ll always know what you’re paying.
Our emergency junk removal pricing is based on how much space your junk fills in our trailer.
Every quote includes:
All labor (even the heavy lifting)
Dumping costs
Tax
Recycling and donation drop-offs
We’ll give you a straight-up quote before we touch a thing. If you’re in a hurry and not sure how much junk you’ve got, just shoot us a few photos, and we’ll give you a rough estimate before heading out.
Bottom line: You’ll know the price before we load a single item.

They were quick to reply and quick to come out to get the job done. Reached out yesterday, they came today and hauled away our old 24 foot swimming pool. I had it all disassembled for them. They came on time and I think it took him and his dad like 15 minutes to get it on their truck and they were gone. Fair pricing that made me happy. I'd use them again in the future and just may, some I'm cleaning out house to sell.Posted on Kira HydeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
