Whether you're remodeling your bathroom in Cooper City, replacing a kitchen in Weston, or tearing down tile in Pembroke Pines, there’s one thing every project has in common: leftover debris.

Demo day might be fun, but cleanup day? Not so much.

I’ve been hauling junk for over 15 years, and today I’m breaking down exactly what you can (and can’t) toss during a construction cleanout — and how we handle construction debris removal in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County without the stress.

🧱 What Counts as Construction Debris?

We handle cleanup for homeowners and contractors alike, from single-room makeovers to full demo jobs. Common items we haul include:

  • Drywall, sheetrock, and plaster
  • Lumber, trim, and framing wood
  • Tile, grout, and stone
  • Flooring — carpet, vinyl, hardwood
  • Cabinets, counters, sinks, tubs
  • Nails, insulation, and packaging
  • Windows, doors, and fixtures

If it came out of a house or off a jobsite, chances are we’ve hauled it.

🧯 What We Can’t Take

Some materials need special disposal (and we follow the rules). Here's what we don’t take:

  • Wet paint and solvent-based products
  • Asbestos-containing material
  • Adhesives or flammable liquids
  • Pressurized tanks (like propane)
  • Fluorescent light bulbs

If you're unsure, give us a call before tossing anything — or check with Broward County's hazardous waste disposal program.

🛠️ Who We Help

🏠 Homeowners

Tackling a DIY project and don’t want your garage to turn into a junk yard? We’ll swing by, load it up, and keep your place clean so you can focus on the fun stuff.

👷‍♂️ Contractors

We work with flooring installers, remodelers, flippers, and general contractors to keep jobsites clear and crews focused. No dumpsters, no delays.

We’re fully licensed and insured — and show up ready to work.

🧹 How a Construction Debris Pickup Works

At Jack's Junk Removal, our process is simple — and a lot faster than doing a full junk pickup in Fort Lauderdale by yourself.

  • You text us a photo of your debris pile
  • We send a quote — volume-based or flat-rate
  • We show up with a crew and get to work
  • We clean up after ourselves — no nails or sawdust left behind
  • You get back to business

Same-day and weekend pickups available across Broward County.

♻️ Do We Recycle Construction Materials?

Whenever possible, yes.

We regularly sort out:

  • Scrap metal (pipes, brackets, frames)
  • Wood (unpainted lumber or trim)
  • Concrete or brick (where accepted)
  • Cardboard and packaging

We work hard to reduce landfill waste, especially on bigger jobs. If it can be reused or recycled — we’ll make it happen.

💡 How to Save Time and Money on Cleanup

Want to keep your project budget tight? Try these pro tips:

  • Pile debris in one location — preferably near the curb or driveway
  • Break down big items like cabinets and shelving
  • Avoid mixing in household trash — it complicates disposal
  • Call us early — we can sometimes combine your job with others nearby for better pricing

We’ve even helped customers bundle a garage cleanout service in Fort Lauderdale with their debris cleanup. One trip. One quote. Done deal.

👍 Final Thoughts from Jack

A clean jobsite isn’t just about looks — it’s about safety, speed, and finishing strong.

If you’re wrapping up a remodel or halfway through a tear-down, don’t let the debris pile up. One call, one crew, and we’ll have it gone faster than your tile guy can finish a backsplash.
