Craig Van Lines Now Offers Junk Removal in NoVA

For more than a century, Northern Virginia families and businesses have trusted Craig Van Lines to move their belongings carefully from one place to another. Now we can also take away the things you no longer need. We are proud to announce our new junk removal services in Northern Virginia, available for homes and businesses throughout Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties.

Whether you need a single old sofa hauled off or a full house cleaned out before a sale, the same trained, background-checked crews who handle your move can now handle your junk. Every job starts with a free quote and upfront pricing.

What Our Junk Removal Service Includes

Our new service covers everything from one bulky item to a complete property cleanout. Here is what we handle:

Furniture removal: couches, sectionals, recliners, mattresses, box springs, dressers, bed frames, dining sets, and desks. We disassemble bulky pieces when needed.
Appliance removal: refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers, and water heaters.
Garage, basement, and attic cleanouts: years of stored boxes, tools, bikes, exercise equipment, shelving, and holiday decorations.
House cleanouts: for downsizing, pre-sale prep, rental turnovers, and foreclosures. Realtors, landlords, and property managers rely on us for fast turnarounds.
Estate cleanouts: we work alongside families, executors, and estate sale companies, setting aside keepsakes and preparing the home for sale.
Commercial junk removal: office furniture, cubicles, filing cabinets, conference tables, retail fixtures, and warehouse shelving, with after-hours and weekend scheduling available.
Heavy and hard-to-move items: pianos, pool tables, gun safes, hot tubs, and gym equipment, removed with the right equipment and crew size.

We accept almost any non-hazardous item. We cannot take paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos, or medical waste. Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties each run household hazardous waste drop-off programs for those materials. If you are unsure about an item, just ask when you request your quote.

Why Choose Craig Van Lines for Junk Removal

Plenty of companies own a truck. Very few have been trusted inside Northern Virginia homes for over 100 years. Here is what sets us apart.

A Family Name Northern Virginia Has Trusted Since 1918

Craig Van Lines is family owned and now in its fourth generation. We have been a BBB Accredited Business since 1984 and hold an A+ rating. When you hire us, you are hiring a local company with a long reputation to protect, not a franchise or an app that sends whoever is available. You can read what customers say on our reviews page or learn more about our history.

Trained, Background-Checked Crews

Our team members are trained, background-checked, and covered by workers’ compensation. That matters when people are coming inside your home, and it protects you if someone gets hurt on the job.

We Protect Your Home While We Work

Moving furniture without damaging a house is what we have done for generations. Our crews protect floors, walls, and doorways along the removal path, then sweep the cleared area before they leave.

Heavy Items Are Our Specialty

Most junk haulers draw the line at a piano, a gun safe, or a slate pool table. We move those items every week. We bring the equipment and crew size each job requires, so the hardest pieces in your house are handled safely.

Remove, Move, and Store With One Company

This is the advantage no standalone junk hauler can match. Because we also offer local moving, long-distance moving, professional packing, and secure storage, we can clear out what you are leaving behind, move what you are keeping, and store what you are not ready to decide on. One company, one point of contact, one schedule.

Upfront Pricing With No Hidden Fees

Every job is quoted individually based on volume, item type, access, and labor. You get a clear, detailed quote before work begins, and you only pay for the work you need. Ask about our monthly specials when you call.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Junk Removal Service

If you have been staring at a cluttered garage for months, you already know that getting rid of junk is harder than it sounds. Here is why hiring professionals is often the smarter choice.

Save Time and Energy

A garage or basement cleanout can eat up several weekends when you do it yourself: sorting, loading, renting a truck, and making multiple trips to the dump or donation center. A professional crew can often finish the same job in a few hours while you focus on everything else on your list.

Avoid Injuries From Heavy Lifting

Carrying a refrigerator down a flight of stairs or wrestling a sleeper sofa through a doorway is a common way to strain your back or damage your home. Professional crews know how to lift, pivot, and load heavy items safely, and they bring dollies, straps, and padding to do it.

No Truck Rental or Disposal Hassles

Doing it yourself usually means renting a truck, figuring out which items your county landfill or transfer station accepts, and paying separate disposal fees. Appliances, mattresses, and electronics often have their own rules. A junk removal service handles the hauling and the disposal logistics for you.

Responsible Disposal, Donation, and Recycling

Furniture is a major contributor to landfill waste. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans discarded about 12.1 million tons of furniture and furnishings in 2018, and more than 80 percent of it ended up in landfills. At Craig Van Lines, we donate usable items when possible, recycle materials such as metal and electronics where facilities allow, and take the rest to licensed disposal facilities.

Reclaim Your Space and Reduce Stress

Clutter takes up more than square footage. Clearing out a packed garage, basement, or spare room can make your home feel larger, easier to clean, and more comfortable to live in. Many of our customers tell us the relief of finally getting it done is the best part.

One Visit Instead of Many Trips

Instead of piecing together a truck rental, a donation drop-off, a scrap metal run, and a trip to the landfill, a single crew visit takes care of it all. You point, we lift, and the space is cleared.

Moving Soon? Declutter First and Save

Every item you move adds weight, packing time, and labor to your moving estimate. Clearing out what you no longer need before moving day can lower your moving costs and make unpacking far easier. Pair junk removal with our Northern Virginia residential moving services or commercial moving services and our team can coordinate the cleanout, the move, and any storage on one schedule.

Not sure when to start? Our week-by-week moving checklist recommends sorting and decluttering early, and our guide to full-packing service vs. packing yourself can help you plan the rest of your move.

Fred Craig

Fred C. Craig III is the owner of Craig Van Lines, a Northern Virginia moving company his family has run for more than a century. The business began in 1918 when J.H. Craig hauled cattle, feed, and hay from Virginia’s rural farms to the markets of the DC area. As the region shifted from farmland to residential communities in the 1940s, the family started moving households after hours and on weekends, eventually building the full-service moving company Craig Van Lines is today. Fred carries on that tradition, providing the same quality and care his family has brought to this community for over 100 years.
