Junk Master is the debris removal service Commerce City homeowners, landlords and contractors call when a project leaves behind more than a trash cart can hold. Our crew hauls remodel tear-outs, drywall, broken concrete, scrap metal, yard waste and storm branches, plus whole structures such as old sheds, fences and hot tubs. We work from Joplin Street in Commerce City, we hold the city's Solid Waste Hauler Business License, and same-day service is available. Debris hauling is one part of the junk removal service in Commerce City we run from that base. Call (720) 999-0466 and describe the pile for a free estimate.
Debris Removal Service in Commerce City: How It Works
Commerce City grew out of older communities. Voters incorporated Commerce Town on July 8, 1952, taking in Rose Hill and the southern part of Adams City, and the town became Commerce City after it annexed part of Derby in 1962. Derby was already a railroad station in 1887 and Irondale was settled in 1889, so the city has long-established neighborhoods alongside newer ones.
Growth has not slowed. The city counted 62,418 residents at the 2020 census, and its own staff now estimates more than 70,000. That mix shapes our debris work here. Older homes can produce tear-out loads and worn sheds and fences. Newer homes produce finish work scraps, yard project waste and the occasional hot tub swap.
Every job follows the same steps:
- Call (720) 999-0466 and tell us what needs to go. A photo of the pile helps us price it.
- We give you a free, no-obligation estimate, on site when the job calls for it, and confirm the price with you before anything is loaded.
- Our crew loads the debris from wherever it sits on the property, hauls it away and cleans up the work area.
- We sort each load and send what we can to recycling.
You do not need to be home, as long as the crew has access and can reach you by phone. The city also has rules on demolition permits, outside storage and brush piles, and the sections below cover the ones that apply to each type of job.
What Debris Removal Service Costs in Commerce City
We price debris removal by load size, so you pay for the space your material takes up in our truck. The truck holds 15 cubic yards (12 feet long, 7 feet wide and 5 feet high), and a full load equals about four regular pickup truckloads.
| Load | Price |
|---|---|
| Minimum charge | $85 |
| 1/8 load | $150 |
| 1/4 load | $250 |
| 1/3 load | $300 |
| 1/2 load | $350 |
| 2/3 load | $400 |
| 3/4 load | $450 |
| Full load | $550 |
The price is all-inclusive. It covers labor, loading from anywhere on the property, disposal fees and cleanup of the work area. The only extra is the local government recycling fee on computers and TVs, passed through when those items are part of the load. We take major credit and debit cards or cash.
Debris varies more than household junk. A pile of loose branches and a stack of broken slab take up very different amounts of room, so a photo or a quick look on site lets us confirm an accurate number before the crew starts.
Construction and Renovation Debris for Contractors, Landlords and Homeowners
Remodels across Commerce City leave lumber offcuts, old cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, fixtures and packaging behind. Our construction debris removal in Commerce City suits builders and contractors who need a jobsite cleared at the end of a phase or at the end of the build. For kitchen, bath and basement tear-outs in an occupied home, or in a rental between tenants, renovation debris removal in Commerce City gets the old material out so the new install can start.
We serve residential and commercial customers. The crew does all the lifting, loading and carrying, and we load from anywhere on the property, so there is no need to drag the debris out to the driveway first.
Check the permit side before walls come out. Commerce City requires a permit to demolish buildings and structures, and to demolish building interiors. The city's guide to when a permit is required lists the projects that need one. Homes fall under the Residential Demolition permit, which covers partial, whole-house and interior demolition.
Older houses need one more step. Federal asbestos rules call for a thorough inspection where many demolition and renovation projects will take place, and owners of single-family homes should confirm with the state which parts apply to them. Have older building materials checked first, then call us to haul the tear-out.
Drywall, Concrete and Scrap Removal in Commerce City
Some debris is heavy, dusty or sharp enough to hold up a project until it is gone. These three services cover the material people least want to carry.
Drywall removal in Commerce City handles full sheets and broken pieces from basement finishes, wall replacements and water damaged rooms. Drywall fills space quickly and leaves dust behind, so our crew carries it straight out to the truck and cleans the work area once it is loaded.
Concrete removal in Commerce City covers broken slabs, old walkways, patio sections and loose chunks left from earlier work. Commerce City does not require a permit for driveways and on-grade patios, although that work still has to meet city code and setbacks. Concrete is dense, so tell us the rough size and thickness of the pile when you call and we can size up the load.
Scrap removal in Commerce City picks up the metal a remodel or yard project leaves behind: ductwork, pipe, old fence hardware, metal shelving and broken fixtures. Because we sort every load, scrap metal goes to recycling whenever we can send it there.
Yard Waste, Tree Debris and Branch Removal in Commerce City
Commerce City summers run warm, with average daily highs near 88 F in July, and lawns, hedges and trees put on growth fast. By fall the trimming piles are large. A windy day or a wet snow can drop limbs across a yard in a single afternoon.
City rules also cover yard debris. Code enforcement does not allow piles of brush or dead vegetation on personal property, and grass and weeds must be kept to 8 inches or less. Tree branches have to stay at least 10 feet above sidewalks and 15 feet above street and alley travel lanes. Owners are responsible for trimming trees that reach into the public right-of-way and for keeping up the tree lawn.
All of that trimming has to leave the property. Yard waste removal in Commerce City clears grass, sod, leaves, weeds and seasonal cleanup piles. Tree debris removal in Commerce City takes the larger limbs and wood left after a tree is cut back or comes down. Branch removal in Commerce City fits a pruning pile or a few storm limbs too long for the trash cart. Our crew loads every piece and cleans up the work area before leaving.
Shed, Fence and Hot Tub Removal in Commerce City
Backyard structures wear out, and once they do they turn into debris far too big for any cart. We remove the structure and haul every piece away, along with anything still stored inside.
Shed removal in Commerce City takes care of old tool and storage sheds that lean, leak or sit empty. Fence removal in Commerce City covers worn wood and chain link runs, posts and gates. Hot tub removal in Commerce City gets an old spa off the patio or deck and out of the yard.
Know the permit lines before the work starts. The municipal code exempts one-story detached tool sheds and similar structures up to 256 square feet from a building permit, along with residential fences up to 72 inches. Fences over 6 feet, sheds and hot tubs are permitted as Residential Accessory Structures. The code also lists demolition as permit work and states that an exemption never allows work that breaks the code or other city ordinances. The Building Safety Division answers project questions at 303-289-3790 or cdpermits@c3gov.com. Once you have the answer, we handle the removal and the haul.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Debris Removal Service in Commerce City, CO
When does Commerce City require a demolition permit for a remodel or tear-out?
Commerce City requires a demolition permit for taking down buildings and structures and for demolishing building interiors. The Residential Demolition permit covers partial, whole-house and interior tear-outs, and commercial sites use a separate Commercial Demolition permit. Permit questions go to the Building Safety Division at 303-289-3790. Once the work is permitted and done, our crew hauls the lumber, cabinets and flooring away, and same-day service is available.
Does Commerce City need a permit before a shed or fence comes down?
A permit for removing a shed or fence in Commerce City depends on size and on the city's demolition rules. The municipal code exempts one-story tool sheds up to 256 square feet from a building permit and residential fences up to 72 inches, yet it also lists demolition as permit work, and an exemption never allows work that breaks city code. Call Building Safety at 303-289-3790 to confirm, then book our crew.
What materials will a Commerce City debris crew refuse to haul?
Our Commerce City debris crew will not haul hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, solvents, oil or gasoline, and we point customers to Denver's Household Hazardous Waste program for those. In an older home, have suspect building materials checked before tear-out, because federal asbestos rules call for inspection ahead of many demolition and renovation jobs. We haul the rest of the project debris we cover, from drywall to broken concrete.
Is Junk Master licensed and insured to haul debris in Commerce City?
Yes, Junk Master is licensed and fully insured with liability coverage, and we hold Solid Waste Hauler Business Licenses for both Commerce City and the City of Denver. That matters on a debris job, where crews carry heavy, sharp material through your yard, garage or jobsite. We serve residential and commercial customers, and our satisfaction guarantee means we come back if anything gets missed.
What does Colorado law say about securing debris loads on roads near Commerce City?
Colorado law says no vehicle may use a highway unless its load is secured so nothing can drop, scatter or leak onto the road. Loads of aggregate 1 inch or smaller hauled more than 2 miles need a cover or other protection. A violation is generally a traffic infraction, and for a car or pickup it becomes a misdemeanor traffic offense if it causes bodily injury. Our crew loads and secures the truck.
Can brush or building material sit in a Commerce City yard until pickup?
Brush and building material should not be left sitting outside in a Commerce City yard. City code enforcement lists outside storage of construction material as not allowed and says there should be no piles of brush or dead vegetation on personal property. Sidewalks must also stay clear, tree limbs included. Call Junk Master at (720) 999-0466 for a free estimate, and ask about same-day service.
