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.
Three simple promises shape every job we take on, from a single mattress pickup to a full estate cleanout.
Honest quotes, honest timelines and honest answers about what we can and cannot take.
Quick scheduling, punctual arrivals and efficient crews that respect your day.
Friendly people who treat your home, your family and your neighbours with care.

Arete Junk Removal is based in Northern Virginia and serves homes and businesses throughout the surrounding communities. Not sure if you are in our service area? Call 703-479-4774 and we will let you know right away.
Pricing is based mainly on how much space your items take up in our truck, plus any unusually heavy or hard-to-handle materials. You will always get a clear, upfront quote before we start, and there is no obligation if you decide not to go ahead.
Almost anything non-hazardous that two people can carry: furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, exercise equipment, yard and household clutter, and construction or remodel debris. We also handle full property, garage, basement and attic cleanouts.
For safety and legal reasons we cannot haul hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, fuel, oil or medical waste. If you are unsure about an item, send us a quick photo or give us a call and we will point you in the right direction.
No. That is what we are here for. Our crew removes items from wherever they are: upstairs bedrooms, basements, attics, garages, backyards or the curb. Just show us what goes.
Tell us what needs to go and we will take it from there. Free, no-obligation quotes and fast, friendly service.
