Moving Cleanout in Dothan, AL — Clear It Before You Pack or After You Move
By Dothan Junk Removal Co. | For Dothan & Wiregrass Residents in Transition
Moving is the great forcing function. You finally have to deal with everything you've been avoiding for years — because it has to either go in the truck or go somewhere else. The question is whether you deal with it before the move (the smart approach) or after (the overwhelming approach).
Dothan Junk Removal Co. handles both. Pre-move hauls to lighten the load and reduce moving truck size. Post-move hauls from the old address when you realize what you don't actually want at the new place.
Pre-Move Cleanout — The Smart Play
Every cubic foot in a moving truck costs money, either in truck rental or moving company fees. The furniture you hate but move anyway because you don't have time to deal with it will still need to go somewhere at the new house — usually your new garage.
- Identify large items you won't want at the new place — old couch, guest bed, shelf units
- Call us 1–2 weeks before move day
- We haul the unwanted pieces, leaving you with a smaller, cleaner load
- Moving truck needed gets smaller. Stress on move day reduces.
We called them the week before our move and had them haul out an old couch, a treadmill, and a bunch of garage stuff. Saved us at least $200 on our moving truck size and made move day so much easier.— Alicia T., Dothan
Post-Move Haul From the Old Address
You've moved out but the old house still has stuff in it. Could be things the movers wouldn't touch. Could be things you decided at the last minute you didn't want. Could be the previous owners' leftover items if you just bought a house. We clean it out so you can hand over keys or close the sale.
For Military Families PCSing From Fort Novosel
PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moves happen fast and often leave you with limited time to deal with big items. The government's move covers your household goods, but 'household goods' doesn't include the shed full of stuff or the furniture the overseas weight limit won't accommodate.
We've helped dozens of Fort Novosel families with PCS cleanouts. Call us as soon as you have your orders and know your out-date. We'll get on the schedule.
For People Moving Into Dothan
Just bought a house and the sellers left stuff behind? That happens more than you'd think, especially with estate sales or quick closings. The former owner's old riding mower, the stuff in the storage room that was 'excluded from sale' and then somehow wasn't moved — we handle it.

The Stuff Movers Won't Take
Professional movers and government move contractors have a list of things they won't load — hazardous materials, propane tanks, certain plants, items over a certain weight. Junk removal fills that gap. We haul the things the movers skip.
