What We Handle When Disaster Hits Your Property

Free, no-pressure quote
We come to your location, take a look at the damage, and give you a clear, honest quote. No hidden fees. No pressure to commit.
Safe debris removal
We clear away broken furniture, damaged appliances, soaked materials, burnt items, and more. We remove storm debris, yard waste, tree limbs, and non-hazardous trash left behind after the disaster.
Heavy lifting and hauling
You don’t need to lift a thing. We handle the carrying, loading, and hauling. That includes debris in basements, attics, or upstairs rooms.
Property cleanout support
We can help clean out garages, sheds, storage units, and whole homes impacted by disaster, whether the damage is from water, fire, or wind.
Storm and tree damage cleanup
We remove fallen branches, damaged fencing, broken patio furniture, and other yard debris that gets scattered during severe weather.

We sort out what can be recycled or donated and dispose of the rest responsibly, keeping as much as possible out of landfills.

When disaster hits, you need a team that shows up, does the job right, and doesn’t take advantage of the situation. Here’s why Backwoods Junk Removal is the go-to choice for disaster cleanup in Fuquay Varina.
Local and veteran-owned
We’re a small, local team based near Fuquay Varina, not a big out-of-town company. As a veteran- and disabled-owned business, we believe in doing the job with honesty and respect. We built our name on trust and continue to serve our community with the same values.
Fast response without price gouging
Disasters don’t wait, and neither do we. We respond quickly, often within a day, and give you fair, clear pricing from the start. We don’t raise prices just because you’re in a tough spot.
Complete cleanup from start to finish

Safe, insured, and professional
We’re fully insured and trained to handle disaster-related debris and property damage. That means you’re protected if something unexpected happens. You don’t need to worry about injury liability or unlicensed workers on your property.
We recycle and donate when we can
Not everything has to go to the dump. If we find usable items, we donate them to local groups. We also recycle materials like metal or electronics whenever possible, a small act that helps in a country that spent over $92 billion on weather-related disasters in 2023 alone.
How Disaster Cleanup Works
When storms or damage leave a mess behind, we make the cleanup process simple and stress-free. Here’s how we handle disaster cleanup in Fuquay Varina:
1. Contact and Schedule
Call, text, or book online and tell us what happened. We’ll give you a rough quote and set a time to come out, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
2. On-Site Assessment and Final Quote
We arrive on time, assess the damage, and confirm the final price before getting started. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll go over it with you first.
3. Cleanup and Removal
We remove storm debris, damaged furniture, soaked materials, or anything else the disaster left behind. We handle everything, even heavy lifting from attics, basements, or yards.
4. Final Sweep and Responsible Disposal
We tidy up the area before we leave and make sure nothing gets left behind. If we can donate or recycle any items, we do, keeping usable materials out of the landfill whenever possible.
Clear, Fair Pricing for Disaster Cleanup in Fuquay Varina
When disaster strikes, the last thing you need is confusion about cost. We keep our pricing simple, honest, and easy to understand, so you can focus on getting back on track.
Volume-based pricing
We charge based on how much debris we remove. Our truck holds the equivalent of about 8 pickup loads, and pricing starts at $75. We give you a clear estimate before we begin.
On-site quote before any work
We come to your property, assess the damage, and give you a final quote up front. If anything changes during the job, we check with you first, no surprises.
Fair rates, no price gouging
We don’t raise prices just because there’s a disaster. Our rates stay consistent, and we never take advantage of emergency situations.
Extra labor fees (when applicable)
If we need to carry items up or down stairs or deal with hard-to-access areas, we may apply a small labor fee. We always explain these clearly in advance.
Fast turnaround, flexible scheduling
Most cleanups are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. We work around your needs to get the job done quickly and safely.
We believe disaster cleanup should be honest, not overwhelming. And our pricing reflects that, especially when studies show every $1 spent on disaster preparedness can save $13 in cleanup and economic recovery.
