Seasonal Guide to Junk Removal in Minnesota

If you’re staring down a garage full of clutter, a basement of old furniture, or a backyard full of broken-down junk, the good news is this: there’s never a bad time to call a junk removal company. But here in Minnesota, the time of year can play a big role in how quickly and efficiently that junk disappears.

At Hauling It Away, we operate year-round—but each season brings its own set of advantages and obstacles. Let’s break it down so you can plan your clean-out with confidence.
 

 

 

Spring: The Season of Rush and Renewal
Pros:

• Spring cleaning fever hits hard—perfect time to declutter your home, garage, or yard.
• Great for tackling yard waste, furniture, or leftover renovation debris.

Challenges:

• Schedules fill up fast! Everyone wants to clean up at once.
• Early spring can be muddy, and some areas are tough to access depending on conditions.

Tips:

• Book early to beat the rush. Even better—schedule during late winter to be first on the spring list!

Summer: Big Projects, Big Heat
Pros:

• Long days make it easier to get big outdoor cleanups done.
• Ideal time for large-scale projects like estate cleanouts, shed demos, or moving-related junk removal.

Challenges:

• Extreme heat can slow down projects or make certain jobs unsafe.
• Outdoor work becomes more physically demanding (especially during heat waves).

Tips:

• Start early in the day to beat the heat.
• Hydration breaks and safety are top priorities—so we may space out work on the hottest days.

Fall: Beat the Snow, Prep for the Holidays
Pros:

• The weather is cooler, which makes for comfortable working conditions.
• A great time to clear out garages before winter or prep the house for holiday guests.

Challenges:

• Like spring, fall gets busy—especially in October as people rush to get things done before snow flies.
• Shorter daylight hours can limit large jobs later in the day.

Tips:

• Book early in the season to avoid weather-related delays.
• Use this time to responsibly dispose of patio furniture, yard debris, or summer equipment.

Winter: Slower Season, But Still an Option
Pros:

• More availability and flexible scheduling.
• Indoor cleanouts (like basements, offices, and storage units) are perfect this time of year.

Challenges:

• Snow and ice can slow things down or delay service—especially for outdoor or garage pickups.
• Safety is a top concern when navigating icy driveways, stairs, or hauling through deep snow.

Tips:

• Clear walkways ahead of time to keep things safe and efficient.
• Use winter to tackle those long-put-off indoor projects—you’ll be glad you did come spring!
