In 1871, the railroad named this lake after superintendent Charles H. Prior — a man who probably never fished it. The families who did build here came later, putting up summer cottages along Upper and Lower Prior Lake in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. Those cottages are now year-round homes packed with 60 years of lakeside life. Alpha Haulers clears them out — same day, upfront price, no franchise markup.

The Mdewakanton Dakota called this water Bdé Mayá Thó — “Lake of the Blue Banks.” The Grainwood Hotel opened on its shores in 1879 with 150 rooms, its own railroad station, and guests from across the country. Minneapolis families built summer cottages here in the 1930s and ’40s. Those cottages became year-round homes, and those homes are now packed with 60 or 70 years of accumulated lake life — fishing gear, old appliances, dock equipment, furniture from three different eras.
Alpha Haulers serves all of Prior Lake — from the original cabin-era homes in Grainwood and along Upper Prior Lake to the newer estates in The Wilds and Cedarwood. Family-owned, same-day available, and priced upfront before we lift anything. Call (651) 373-6627.
The original lakeshore properties in Grainwood, Sand Pointe, and along Upper Prior Lake were built as summer cottages in the 1930s–1950s — small footprints, tight lot access, and 60 to 70 years of accumulated lake life inside. Fishing rods, outboard motors, old appliances that haven’t moved since 1985, dock sections, water toys, three generations of furniture. When a family inherits a lake cabin or a senior moves to Grainwood senior living, we clear it all in one trip. We navigate tight shorefront access, carry heavy items up steep embankments, and leave the property ready for what’s next. Call (651) 373-6627.
Prior Lake grew 553% in the 1980s alone — one of the fastest suburban growth rates in Minnesota history. The large homes built in The Wilds, Cedarwood Estates, and the County Road 42 subdivisions during that era are now 30 to 40 years old. Original owners are downsizing; families are renovating. With a $131,000 median household income and an 86% homeownership rate, Prior Lake residents value quality service over lowest-price bids. We bring professionalism to every job — licensed, insured, upfront pricing, broom-clean finish.
Prior Lake borders Savage to the east and Shakopee to the north — both communities Alpha Haulers already serves on regular south metro routes. No out-of-area fees, no franchise dispatch from a distant hub. Whether you’re on the Upper Prior lakeshore, in The Territory near Jeffers Pond, along Highway 13, or out by Spring Lake Regional Park, we can typically schedule same-day service. One call takes care of the whole job.
From a single lake cabin cleanout to a complete estate — same-day service, upfront pricing, no surprises.

Yes — this is one of our most common Prior Lake jobs. The original cottage-era properties along Upper Prior Lake were built on small, irregular lots with tight street access, narrow driveways, and sometimes steep grades down to the water. We come prepared for challenging access: we carry items up embankments, through narrow passages, and across yards when needed. We’re experienced with the specific character of cabin-era cleanouts — the mix of old fishing equipment, vintage furniture, dock sections, and outboard motors that these properties typically hold.
Yes. Old dock sections, aluminum boats, canoes, kayaks, outboard and trolling motors, water skis, life jackets, fishing tackle, and lake storage equipment — all of it can be removed. We haul to a licensed transfer station or recycling facility depending on the material.
