Arete Junk Removal is a locally operated hauling company serving Northern Virginia. Our name comes from the Greek word for excellence, and an arête is also the sharp ridge that leads to a mountain peak. Both ideas guide how we work: do the job right, take the straightest line to a clean space, and serve every customer with integrity, speed and a smile.
Homes, garages, estates and rentals.
Offices, contractors and property managers.
Whole-home, rental, estate and lot cleanouts handled from the first box to the final sweep.
Garages, basements and attics cleared out so you can finally park the car or use the space again.
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters disconnected from your day and hauled away.
Couches, beds, desks, tables and more carried out carefully, with no scuffed walls left behind.
Mattresses and box springs of every size and quantity, for homes and businesses alike.
Demolition, remodel and job-site debris loaded and hauled so your project keeps moving.
Arete is the ancient Greek word for excellence, and it is the standard we bring to every driveway.
