What junk removal after eviction is
After a lawful setout, something usually remains. Junk removal is disposal of that remainder — documented, priced before the truck arrives, and handled under the same belongings rules that applied to the writ.
Key facts
- Lifecycle stage: After possession.
- EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
- Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
- Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.
What this service is
County rules on storage, notice, and disposal still apply after the officer leaves. “It was junk” is not a legal category. Photograph before and after.
Volume should be assessed and scoped before a truck is dispatched. Surprise dumpsters are how owners get surprised invoices — and this site will not invent a number to replace that scoping.
Georgia recoveries can be bundled with EvictIQ setout work. Other markets need a local hauler who will follow that county’s disposal rules.
When this step is needed
You need junk removal after the writ, when volume is left that must leave the property under that county’s disposal rules — not the morning you get a judgment.
“It was junk” is not a legal category. If a hold or storage period applies, it still applies after the officer leaves.
How the process usually works
- Confirm the writ was executed and any required hold has been understood.
- Assess volume before a truck is dispatched.
- Photograph before and after.
- Dispose only as the county allows.
- Keep the haul on the same invoice as the setout when it is truly one job.
Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.
What this step usually covers
- Removal scheduled with or immediately after the setout
- Disposal handled per county requirements
- Volume assessed before the truck arrives
- Condition photographed before and after
- A single invoice when it is bundled with the setout
These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.
What you must verify locally
- Required hold or storage period for remaining property
- What may be discarded the same day versus what must be stored
- Dump, landfill, and permit rules
- Whether the hauler will document the load
We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.
What this does not include
- Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
- A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
- Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
- A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts

Common questions
Can I call a junk company the day I get the judgment?
Not if the tenant still has possession. Judgment is not possession. Wait until the writ is executed, then follow the belongings rules for that county.
Is junk removal the same as cleanout?
Related. Junk removal is haul-away and disposal. Cleanout is the broader reset of the unit so you can inspect and turn it. Many jobs need both.
Does EvictIQ haul junk in every state?
No. We do not operate field crews nationwide. Georgia we can bundle this with setout. Elsewhere, hire a local hauler and keep the documentation.

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.
