Junk Removal in Lake Charles, LA
Pickups start at $125 and estimates are free. Text a photo of what needs to go and get a real number before anything is booked.
The City Truck Will Not Take It. Now What?
You finally tore out the old kitchen, or the tires have been stacked behind the shed for two summers. Then pickup day comes and goes, and the pile is still there.
That is not an oversight. The City of Lake Charles garbage rules exclude roofing, concrete, plaster and other remodel material, and say the owner must have it privately removed. Tires and automobile parts are out too, and so is hazardous waste. The parish drop-off will not help a business either, because commercial and industrial waste are prohibited there. Every week it sits, it is in the way.
Klutter Krewe is the private haul the city rules point you to. Send a photo, get a real number, and a veteran-owned local crew loads it from wherever it sits and sweeps up behind.
What Lake Charles curbside pickup will not take
- Roofing, concrete, plaster and other remodel or repair material
- Tires and automobile parts
- Hazardous waste
- Appliances, unless you call the city ahead first
We load from wherever it sits: the garage, the attic, the back room or the pile by the shed. You point, we lift, and the space gets swept before we leave.

What Lake Charles Residents Ask Before Booking
These cover what the city will and will not collect, tires, cost and scheduling.
No. The City of Lake Charles garbage pickup rules list roofing, concrete, plaster, wallpaper and other material from construction repairs or remodeling as items the city will not collect, and say the owner must have that waste privately removed. That is a normal job for us. Send photos of the pile and tell us where it sits.
Yes, including tractor tires. The city does not pick up tires or automobile parts from residences, so they need a private haul. Tell us how many and roughly what size when you ask for a quote.
Pickup service starts at $125. The final price depends on volume, material type, labor and disposal requirements, and construction debris and other specialty materials can carry added disposal costs. Estimates are free, so send a photo and get the real number first.
If you live in Calcasieu Parish and can haul it yourself, the two parish drop-off centers are free. Our Calcasieu Parish junk removal page lists both addresses and what they turn away.
Yes. Zach works around people’s schedules rather than fixed shop hours. Tell us the window that suits you, and if there is a closing, move-out or walkthrough date, give us that up front.
