Hampton Roads, VA
Junk Removal in Richmond, VA
Richmond runs from the Fan's pre-war row houses to the Short Pump suburbs out west and the Midlothian / Chester corridor down south. Henrico and Chesterfield each have their own waste-stream rules, and the city's own convenience centers are residents-only. Bid-based hauling fits Richmond because every zip has a different access pattern and a flat-rate quote rarely matches the work.
What Richmond customers usually haul
Row-house furniture in the Fan + Church Hill
Couches, dressers, and mattresses that won't fit down a narrow stairwell without disassembly.
West End garage and basement cleanouts
Multi-decade accumulation in Henrico's Short Pump / Tuckahoe / Glen Allen housing stock.
Chesterfield estate cleanouts
Multi-generational homes in Midlothian and Chester that need full clear-outs before sale.
Typical bids range $80 to $400+ depending on volume, access, and items. Single mattresses run $80 to $160; full pickup loads $240 to $420; estate or large garage cleanouts $600+.

Richmond junk removal FAQ
- How much does junk removal cost in Richmond?
- Single items typically run $60 to $220, a half-truck cleanout $140 to $260, and a full pickup truck $240 to $420. Estate or large garage cleanouts run $600+. PoofHaul shows you actual hauler bids in writing before you accept, so the price you see is the price you pay.
- Where do Richmond haulers dump?
- Henrico runs two Public Use Areas (Springfield Rd in Glen Allen, Charles City Rd on the East End) but they are residents-only. Richmond city runs the Southside Transfer Station at 3520 N Hopkins Rd (residents-only) and the East Richmond Road Convenience Center at 3800 E Richmond Rd (residents-only, HHW + tires). Chesterfield runs two convenience centers (NACC at Warbro Rd in Midlothian, SACC on Landfill Drive in Chester) for Chesterfield residents only. Commercial haulers typically tip at the WM Charles City regional landfill (8000 Chambers Rd) where rates are negotiated by phone.
- Do PoofHaul haulers serve all of Henrico, Chesterfield, and the city?
- Yes. Haulers set their own service-area zips so coverage varies, but the bid you see comes from a hauler who actually serves your zip. If a hauler doesn't cover your area, you'll see other bids from haulers who do.
- What about apartments in the Fan or Carytown with no driveway?
- Mention street parking, basement-only access, or stairs in the job description and include access photos. Haulers price difficulty into their bid up front so there are no surprises on job day.
- Can PoofHaul handle a refrigerator or AC unit?
- Yes. CFC appliances require EPA-certified handling. Henrico's PUAs charge $15 per CFC appliance; Chesterfield NACC/SACC also charges $15. Mention the appliance in the job title so haulers who hold the cert and know the local fee can bid accurately.
- How quickly can I get a haul scheduled in Richmond?
- Richmond is brand new on PoofHaul as of 2026-04-27, so timelines depend on how quickly local haulers commit. Post the job and we'll notify nearby applicants; bids land as the supply ramps up. Hampton Roads typically saw first bids within hours during business days; Richmond should follow a similar pattern.
