Common questions

Who provides junk removal in San Antonio?

Klema Builders provides junk removal across San Antonio and surrounding communities for household items, furniture, garage and shed contents, whole-property cleanouts and yard debris. Items listed in the written scope are loaded and hauled off. Paint, chemicals, fuel, asbestos and other hazardous waste are not taken, and some appliances need special handling. Structure takedowns belong under removal. Every junk removal job starts with a free on-site look and a fixed price in writing before work starts.

How much does junk removal cost in San Antonio?

The price of junk removal in San Antonio depends on the number and type of items, access, special-handling needs, whether the work is a single pickup or a larger cleanout, and disposal requirements. Klema Builders does not publish a price list for this service: after a free look at the property you get a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price is the total you pay.

What does Klema Builders take for junk removal?

Junk removal covers household items, sofas, mattresses, tables, dressers, patio furniture, garage and shed contents, property cleanout contents, and brush or landscape debris listed in the written scope. A single furniture item can also be quoted. Clearing leaves, beds and overgrowth is quoted as yard cleanup at /lawn-care/yard-cleanup. Structures such as decks, sheds and fences are handled under removal. Appliances must be identified before the quote because some require special handling at final disposal.

What items are not taken?

Paint, chemicals, fuel, asbestos and other hazardous waste are not taken. Tires are outside this service. TCEQ requires for-hire tire transporters to register, use a manifest and take tires to an authorized facility. EPA rules require final processors to recover refrigerant from appliances or verify prior recovery. Ask about appliances separately before including them in your cleanout request.

Is Klema Builders permitted to haul junk in San Antonio?

Yes. Klema Builders holds a current City of San Antonio solid waste hauler vehicle permit (City Code Section 14-40). The city requires that permit decal on each vehicle used to collect or dispose of solid waste inside the city limits, and the rule also covers a contractor hauling its own job debris, so it is fair to ask any hauler to show theirs. Klema Builders carries general liability insurance. Source: City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department (https://www.sa.gov/Directory/Departments/SWMD/Business-Commercial/Private-Haulers).

What happens to junk after it is hauled off?

It goes to an approved disposal site. Texas Health and Safety Code Section 365.012 makes it an offense to dispose of waste anywhere that is not an approved solid waste site, so a load cannot be left on vacant land or in someone else's dumpster. San Antonio's resident bulky waste centers do not accept material from commercial haulers, which means a hired haul off goes through a commercial disposal site. Sources: Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 365 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/HS/htm/HS.365.htm) and City of San Antonio bulky center rules (https://www.sa.gov/Directory/Departments/SWMD/Brush-Bulky/Bulky-Drop-Off).

Can I use a San Antonio bulky waste center myself?

San Antonio says its bulky waste collection centers are for residential customers, and material from commercial waste haulers is not accepted. The city may require proof of residence under City Code Section 14-18, and the posted center rules control what can be brought. A hired junk removal uses a commercial disposal site instead.

How is junk removal different from debris haul-away?

Junk removal covers household items, furniture, yard debris and the contents of a garage, shed or property. Debris haul-away at /removal/haul-away covers the pile left after you tore down a deck, fence, shed, pergola, playset or similar structure. If that structure is still standing, start at /removal. Klema Builders can review both needs during one on-site look and put each scope in writing.

Do you charge by the truckload?

No load tiers are published. Klema Builders looks at the items on site and quotes a fixed price in writing for the items listed, before any work starts, and that price is the total you pay.

Do I have to carry everything outside first?

No. Junk removal means the items listed in the written scope are loaded from where they sit, whether that is a garage, a shed, a back patio or a yard. Point out stairs, narrow gates or long carries at the on-site look, because access is one of the things the fixed price depends on.

Can junk removal be combined with a rebuild?

Yes. Klema Builders can quote household junk or cleanout contents, then separately define the structure removal or construction that follows. The company also builds decks, patios and fences and installs landscaping. A garage, house or yard can therefore be cleared before a rebuild while each scope stays clear in writing. The on-site look identifies which items are junk, which are structure debris and what new work you want quoted.
