Cottage Grove's Trusted Junk Removal Team
Cottage Grove was farmland until the 1950s, when developer Thompson Grove and the arrival of the 3M plant on Highway 61 kicked off a suburban expansion that hasn't stopped since. The city grew in distinct waves — ramblers and ranch homes in the 1950s and 1960s, split-levels and two-stories in the 1970s and 1980s, then the largest housing expansion in city history during the 1990s. That last wave alone added 15,000 residents and thousands of homes that are now 25 to 35 years old — hitting the first major renovation cycle, generating basement cleanouts, appliance swaps, and garage haul-aways at scale.
Alpha Haulers covers all of Cottage Grove — from the original Thompson Grove neighborhood and the Kingston Park area to the newer Calarosa and Heritage Estates communities in the north, and the River Oaks and Grey Cloud Trail area along the Mississippi bluffs in the west. Washington County, East Metro — we know the area and run the route regularly. Family-owned, same-day available, firm quote before we start. Call (651) 373-6627.
Why Cottage Grove Residents Choose Us
Cottage Grove's 1990s Build-Out Is in Its Renovation Window
The largest housing expansion in Cottage Grove's history happened in the 1990s — thousands of homes went up across Cardinal Reserve, Kingston Fields, Heritage Estates, Hawthorne, and the subdivisions along Jamaica Avenue and the East Point Douglas corridor. Those homes are now 25 to 35 years old. The first major kitchen renovations are happening. Basements finished in 1997 are being gutted and redone. Garages that have been accumulating for 30 years are overdue for a cleanout. Alpha Haulers hauls away what the renovation leaves behind — full loads, single trip. Call (651) 373-6627.
Thompson Grove Estate Cleanouts — The Original 1950s Neighborhood
Thompson Grove was the subdivision that started everything in Cottage Grove — built in the 1950s and 1960s as the 3M plant drew workers to Highway 61. Those ranch-style homes are now 60 to 70 years old, and the families that have been there since the beginning are clearing out decades of accumulated belongings. Estate cleanouts in older Cottage Grove are some of the most complex jobs in the East Metro — full basements, packed garages, outbuildings with tools and equipment accumulated over a lifetime. We handle the whole volume, work respectfully through the space, and make sure usable items go to donation before disposal.
East Metro Route — We Already Cover Woodbury Next Door
Cottage Grove and Woodbury share a border along the north edge of the city, and Alpha Haulers already runs the Woodbury route regularly. That means Cottage Grove is a natural extension of a route we know well — no dead zones, no inflated travel time, no out-of-area surcharges. Whether you're near the 80th Street and Highway 61 commercial hub or out near the River Oaks Golf Course and the Mississippi bluffs, we cover all of Cottage Grove on the same circuit. Call in the morning and we can often be there same day.
