Junk Removal in Andover, MN

Andover went from 3,830 people in 1970 to 33,000 today. The city grew fast and it grew big — large lots, large homes, large garages, large basements alongside the Rum River corridor and Bunker Hills. The houses built during that run are now 30 to 40 years old. The garages are full. The sheds are full. The basements are full. Alpha Haulers clears them out — same day, upfront price, no franchise markup.

Andover’s Trusted Junk Removal Team

Andover was farmland along the Rum River until the 1970s, when the northwest metro commuter corridor opened and families arrived looking for space. They got it — large lots, large homes, attached 3-car garages, detached sheds, and backyard decks with room for a hot tub. The city grew from a rural township of 3,830 to a city of 33,000 in five decades. Bunker Hills Regional Park — 1,600 acres of trails, the Bunker Beach wave pool, and one of the few remaining oak savannah ecosystems in the metro — sits right in the city’s backyard. Andover doesn’t feel like a suburb. It feels like you have room to breathe.

The homes built during that growth wave are now 30 to 40 years old. The median construction year for Andover housing is 1993 — which means 30 years of tools in the garage, 30 years of holiday storage in the basement, 30 years of outgrown children’s equipment on the patio. With 94% homeownership and 91.6% single-family homes, nearly every Andover household has a garage and a shed at minimum. That accumulation doesn’t haul itself.

Alpha Haulers serves all of Andover — from the newer subdivisions near Catchers Creek and Winslow Cove to the older neighborhoods along Round Lake Boulevard and County Road 7. We’re not a franchise routing calls through a national center. We show up, we give you a firm price, and we haul it in one trip. Call (651) 373-6627.

Why Andover Residents Choose Us

94% Homeownership + 30-Year-Old Homes = The Northwest Metro’s Biggest Garage Cleanout Market

Nearly every Andover address is an owner-occupied single-family home built in the 1980s through early 2000s. That means a 3-car garage, usually a detached shed, often a finished basement, and frequently a hot tub or play structure in the backyard. After 30 years in the same house, these spaces are full. Old tools, holiday decorations, sports equipment from three different children, inherited furniture, appliances that haven’t run since 2012 — every Andover garage tells its own story. We read them well. One call, one trip, done. Call (651) 373-6627.

$137K Median Income — Andover Families Pay for Done Right, Not Done Cheap

Andover has one of the highest median household incomes in Anoka County at $137,593 — and 71% of households are dual-income married couples. These are busy professional families with packed schedules. They are not loading a borrowed pickup for three Saturday trips to the Anoka County Transfer Station. They want a crew that arrives on time, gives them a firm upfront price, carries everything out without damage to the drywall or the driveway, and is gone before dinner. That’s the job. We do it every time.

Northwest Anoka County Route — Coon Rapids & Blaine Already on Our Circuit

Alpha Haulers runs regular routes through Coon Rapids and Blaine, which share Andover’s southern and eastern borders. Extending our coverage north into Andover along Bunker Lake Boulevard and Crosstown Boulevard is a natural extension — not a special trip. No out-of-area fee, no fuel surcharge, no different scheduling window. Whether you’re in Catchers Creek off the north end of the city, near the Rum River corridor, or along County Road 7, same-day service is available most days when you call before noon.

Junk Removal Built for Andover’s Homes

Large garages. Deep basements. Backyard outbuildings. Hot tubs that haven’t been used in three years. We haul the Andover jobs other companies don’t come prepared for.

Garage & Shed Cleanouts

The flagship Andover job. Three-car garages built in the 1990s are now 30 years into accumulation: old tools, sports equipment, holiday bins, inherited furniture that didn’t fit in the house, a chest freezer that stopped working in 2019, the riding mower from the previous owners. We haul the full contents of attached and detached garages in a single visit — metal to recycling, functional items to donation, the rest to the transfer station. Most Andover garage cleanouts are completed in under three hours. Call (651) 373-6627 for an upfront price before we start.

Hot Tub & Outdoor Structure Removal

Andover’s large lots see a disproportionately high number of hot tubs, and a lot of them are 10 to 20 years old and no longer worth the electricity to run. Removal looks easy until you’re facing a 700-pound spa wedged into a deck cutout with no obvious exit route. We drain it, remove panels, cut the shell into manageable sections when necessary, and haul every piece including the equipment cabinet. We also remove swing sets, trampolines, play structures, above-ground pools, and old deck furniture — same day, upfront price, no surprise weight fees.

Basement & Appliance Cleanouts

1990s-built Andover homes have finished basements that have been used as utility storage for three decades: old washers and dryers from two appliance upgrades ago, water softeners that were replaced but never removed, chest freezers, exercise equipment nobody uses, and the furniture that went downstairs when the kids were born and never came back up. We carry heavy items out of split-level and walk-out basements, off any landing, and load them directly to the truck. Appliances are recycled; everything else sorted at the truck for donation or transfer station.

Estate & Pre-Sale Cleanouts

Andover’s tight real estate market (typically 30 days to sell) means there’s no time for slow cleanouts when a home goes to market. We coordinate with Realtors and families to complete pre-listing cleanouts fast — including full estate situations where parents are downsizing out of a home they’ve owned since the subdivision was built. We sort for donation and recycle everything eligible, then haul the remainder. Call us with a listing deadline and we’ll make the timeline work.

Learn More

Renovation & Construction Debris

Andover’s homeowning culture means constant renovation — kitchen remodels, basement finishing, bathroom updates, additions, deck replacements. We haul drywall, framing, tile, cabinetry, flooring, concrete, and demo waste. Call us when your contractor needs the job site cleared and we’ll schedule around the project timeline so the work keeps moving.

Learn More

Yard Equipment & Large Outdoor Items

Large Andover lots accumulate large outdoor items: old riding mowers, lawn tractors, snowblowers, fire pits, old trampolines, fence sections, lumber piles, landscape timbers, and the swing set the youngest kid outgrew five years ago. We haul everything yard-related in a single trip. Metal and scrap go to recycling facilities. Text us a photo at (651) 373-6627 and we’ll price it before we arrive.

How It Works for Andover Jobs

01

Call or Text — Photos Help on Bigger Jobs

Call (651) 373-6627 or text photos of your garage, basement, or whatever needs to go. For the full three-car-garage hauls that are common in Andover, a few photos let us come prepared with the right truck size and crew. We’ll confirm a same-day or next-day window that fits your schedule.

02

We Arrive On Time With the Right Equipment

Our crew arrives at the scheduled window and walks through what needs to go. We give you a firm upfront price based on truck volume — not hours, not items, not weight. You approve before we lift anything. For hot tub removals, deck structures, or large outdoor equipment, we confirm access and plan the haul route before we start so nothing gets damaged on the way out.

03

Haul, Sort, Leave It Clean

We carry everything to the truck and sort at the curb — donation-quality items set aside, metals flagged for recycling, the rest going to the Anoka County transfer station. The garage or basement gets swept before we drive away. For full-property cleanouts, we walk through every space to confirm nothing was missed before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

By far the most common job is the full garage cleanout — and in Andover, garages are large. Three-car attached garages built in the late 1980s through early 2000s are now 25 to 35 years into accumulation. They hold tools from three home improvement phases, sports gear from children who are now in college, holiday bins stacked to the ceiling, a second refrigerator that holds nothing, old appliances waiting for the "right time" to deal with them, and typically at least one piece of furniture that was supposed to be temporary storage in 2014.

After garages, the next most common requests are: hot tub removal from backyard decks (Andover’s large lots have a high rate of outdoor spas), basement appliance removal (old washers, dryers, chest freezers, water softeners), and pre-sale cleanouts when homes go to market. Call (651) 373-6627 regardless of how big or small the job is — we’ll price it honestly.

Yes — we serve all of Andover including the newer subdivisions on the north and west edges of the city: Catchers Creek, Winslow Cove, Fields of Winslow Cove, and the neighborhoods developing along Bunker Lake Boulevard. We also serve the older established areas along Round Lake Boulevard, Crosstown Boulevard, and County Road 7. No corner of Andover is outside our coverage area.

If you’re unsure whether you’re in our service zone, call or text at (651) 373-6627 — we’ll confirm immediately. We also serve the surrounding communities of Ham Lake, Anoka, Ramsey, and Coon Rapids on the same northwest corridor route.

Yes — hot tub removal is one of our most common specialty jobs in Andover. The challenge with deck-inset hot tubs is that they can weigh 500 to 800 pounds when drained and are surrounded by decking that limits access angles. We start by draining the tub completely, then remove the side panels and disconnect electrical. For tubs in deck cutouts, we typically need to remove a section of decking for access — we’ll assess this at the start and walk you through what’s needed before we do anything.

Once the tub is accessible, we cut the shell into manageable sections with a reciprocating saw and haul each piece to the truck. The equipment cabinet and all electrical components come out with it. For standard freestanding hot tubs on a patio, the process is simpler. Text us a photo at (651) 373-6627 so we know what we’re dealing with before we arrive.

Yes. Andover sits on our northwest Anoka County route through Coon Rapids and Blaine. Call (651) 373-6627 before noon on most weekdays and we can schedule same-day pickup. We offer morning and afternoon windows and will give you a 1-2 hour arrival range so you’re not waiting all day.

For larger jobs — full garage cleanouts, hot tub removals, or complete estate situations — it helps to call the day before if possible so we can allocate the right truck size and crew. But if you need it today, call and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.

It’s real. Every load gets sorted at the truck before we leave your property. Items in usable condition — furniture, appliances that still work, children’s gear — are set aside for donation partners. Metals, including scrap steel from old equipment and appliances, go to recycling facilities. Electronics are handled through certified e-waste channels. The Anoka County transfer station is the last resort for what genuinely can’t go anywhere else.

We don’t have a minimum donation quota and we don’t charge extra for sorting. It’s part of the job. If something you’re getting rid of has value to someone else, we’d rather it go there than to a landfill.

Pricing is based on the volume your items take up in our truck — measured in fractions of a truckload. A quarter-truck load has one price, a half has another, a full truck is the most. There are no hourly fees, no per-item charges, no weight surcharges, and no hidden fees added at the end. You get one firm number after we walk through the job, and you approve it before we pick up a single item.

For Andover jobs — especially larger garage cleanouts or full-home situations — we can often give you a price range over the phone if you send us photos first. Text photos to (651) 373-6627 and we’ll respond with a ballpark before we ever make the drive.
