How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started in junk removal because I’ve always enjoyed hands-on work and helping people solve everyday problems. It began with helping friends and family clear out garages, move furniture, and clean up after renovation projects. I realized there was a real need for reliable, honest junk removal services—especially from someone who shows up on time and gets the job done right.
That experience inspired me to start Cantu Junk Removal 512. I wanted to build a local business that people could trust for fast, affordable, and stress-free service. Over time, we’ve grown through word of mouth and repeat customers, and we’re proud to continue serving the Austin community with the same work ethic and values we started with.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
One recent project we’re especially proud of was a full property cleanout for a homeowner preparing to sell their house in South Austin. The client had a mix of old furniture, appliances, yard debris, and general household clutter that had built up over the years. They were feeling overwhelmed and needed everything cleared quickly so the property could be listed.
We scheduled a same-week appointment and completed the entire job in one full day with a team of three. We carefully sorted items for donation, recycling, and disposal, and made sure to leave the space clean and ready for staging. The homeowner was incredibly relieved and even mentioned how much easier the selling process became after our work.
It’s jobs like this that remind us how valuable junk removal can be—not just clearing space, but also reducing stress and helping people move forward with their goals.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When hiring a junk removal provider, it’s important to look beyond just the price. Here are a few key things to consider:
Check for clear, upfront pricing – Avoid companies that give vague estimates or surprise you with hidden fees. A trustworthy provider should offer transparent pricing based on volume or labor.
Make sure they’re insured – Accidents can happen, so it's important the company is insured to protect both you and their workers.
Look at reviews and reputation – A provider’s track record says a lot. Look for consistent feedback about professionalism, punctuality, and cleanliness.
Ask about disposal practices – Responsible junk removal means recycling and donating whenever possible—not just dumping everything in a landfill.
Gauge their communication – From the first call or message, a quality provider should be responsive, respectful, and easy to work with.
At Cantu Junk Removal 512, we encourage customers to ask questions and feel confident in the service they’re choosing. Your peace of mind matters just as much as getting the junk gone.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Before reaching out to a junk removal professional, it helps to think through a few key questions to make the process smoother and get the most accurate quote:
What exactly needs to be removed?
Make a list or take pictures of the items. Knowing the type and amount of junk (furniture, appliances, yard waste, construction debris, etc.) helps us give a faster, more accurate estimate.
Where are the items located?
Are they in the garage, inside the home, upstairs, or out in the yard? Access details help us plan the labor and time needed.
Is there a deadline or preferred time for the removal?
Letting us know if you're on a tight schedule—like moving out or prepping a home for sale—helps us prioritize your job.
Do any items require special handling?
Things like paint, chemicals, or very large appliances may need extra steps for safe and legal disposal.
Do you want items donated or recycled if possible?
Some customers prefer eco-friendly solutions, and we’re happy to accommodate when we can.
Taking a few minutes to think through these details can help both you and your junk removal pro save time and ensure the job gets done right the first time.
