Local Crew

From the Square to East Limestone

Athens is growing in two directions at once: new subdivisions filling in along the Huntsville-Brownsferry corridor and East Limestone (35613), and older homes around the courthouse square getting new owners and new renovations. Both ends of that spectrum call us:

New-home moving leftovers

Renovation debris from older homes

Garage & barn cleanouts

Furniture & appliance hauls

Estate cleanouts

Acreage & outbuilding clutter

With Mazda Toyota and the I-65/Huntsville-Decatur triangle pulling thousands of workers into Limestone County, Athens isn't slowing down — and neither does the stuff piling up in its garages.

County Life

No city pickup? No problem.

A lot of Athens addresses — especially the new builds and the properties with acreage — sit outside any city bulk-pickup route, which means there's no free curbside option for that dead refrigerator or the brush pile by the barn. Hauling it yourself means borrowing a trailer and giving up a Saturday at the transfer station.

Or: we show up, load it, and it's gone. Flat rate, no trailer borrowing, no dump-line waiting. That's the whole pitch.

Barns, sheds & outbuildings

Limestone County properties come with outbuildings, and outbuildings come with decades of accumulation. Old equipment, scrap metal, lumber piles, the previous owner's mystery stash — we clear it all, and the scrap metal gets recycled rather than landfilled.

FAQs

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do you really come out to Athens and East Limestone?

Yes — Athens is a regular part of our weekly routes, including East Limestone, the Highway 72 corridor, and properties out toward Elkmont. Same flat rates as Huntsville, no travel fees.

Can you clear out a barn or outbuilding?

Absolutely. Barn and outbuilding cleanouts are common jobs for us in Limestone County — old equipment, scrap metal, lumber, and decades of stored stuff. Scrap metal gets recycled, and big jobs get our $297.95 dump trailer.

I don't have city trash service — what are my options for big items?

If you're outside a bulk-pickup route, your realistic options are hauling it yourself to a disposal facility or hiring a hauler. We're the version where you don't borrow a trailer: flat-rate pickup from anywhere on your property, usually within a couple of days.

Do you serve new subdivisions off Huntsville-Brownsferry and Highway 72?

Yes — East Limestone's new neighborhoods are some of our most frequent Athens-area stops, especially for move-in leftovers, builder debris, and first-year garage purges.
