Anthony's Junk Removal is a single-truck residential junk hauling service operating in Oklahoma City that handles furniture, appliances, construction debris, and general household clutter on a same-day or next-day basis, positioning itself as a direct alternative to larger national franchises that require scheduling weeks in advance.
Anthony's operates as an owner-operated junk removal business serving the Oklahoma City metro area. The service focuses on residential cleanouts, estate liquidation, and bulk item hauling rather than commercial dumpster rental or construction debris management. Jobs are quoted and scheduled by phone or email, with most appointments filled within 24 to 48 hours. The business does not require customers to sort or separate materials; the crew hauls entire rooms or garages at once. Payment is due upon completion, and the company handles all loading and removal.
Anthony's charges by the truckload rather than by weight or item count. A half-load (partial truck capacity) runs approximately $150 to $250 depending on distance from central Oklahoma City and material density. Full loads typically range from $300 to $500. Appliances and metal items do not incur additional fees. Items that cannot be hauled include hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, propane tanks) and certain construction waste (drywall, roofing material). Confirm current pricing by phone before booking, as rates may shift seasonally or with fuel costs.
The company also offers estate cleanout packages where a flat rate covers an entire house or apartment; these range from $400 to $1,200 depending on square footage and item volume. This option appeals to families managing a deceased relative's property without the time to itemize and schedule multiple trips.
1492 Hauling, also Oklahoma City-based, operates on similar pricing (full loads $350 to $550) but requires a three-day minimum scheduling window and handles commercial jobs as well, which can mean longer wait times for residential customers. 1492 uses multiple trucks and staff, making them practical for large estate jobs but overkill for a single-room cleanout.
Junk King, a national franchise with an Oklahoma City location, advertises same-day service but charges by volume on a per-item basis: a single sofa might cost $150 to $200, while a truckload of mixed items can exceed $600. Their pricing structure favors customers removing one or two large items; for full-room cleanouts, Anthony's half-load or full-load model is typically 30 to 40 percent cheaper.
Republic Services, the city's waste management provider, does not offer junk removal but will accept bulk items at their north Oklahoma City landfill for a per-item fee ($5 to $15 each) if you haul items yourself. This is free or near-free only for cardboard and small quantities.
Choose Anthony's if you need same-day or next-day service for a residential cleanout without navigating a national company's phone tree. Choose 1492 if you have a week to schedule and prefer a larger crew for a multi-day job. Choose Junk King only if you are removing one or two specific items and value the brand name.
Anthony's is well-matched to homeowners downsizing before a move, families clearing a deceased relative's home, and landlords prepping rental units for new tenants. The flexible scheduling and single-load pricing make it practical for people who cannot predict exactly what volume they will generate or who need to clear space quickly.
It is not suitable for ongoing commercial waste management, hazardous material disposal, or jobs requiring permit coordination (like demolition debris). Customers expecting a written estimate before the appointment may find the phone-quote model frustrating. Those in outer suburbs more than 15 miles from downtown may face slightly higher rates due to travel time.
Call Anthony's with a general description of what you want removed (e.g., "a bedroom full of furniture, boxes, and a dresser" or "an entire garage"). The owner or operator will ask about access (driveway width, gate, stairs) and give a same-day or next-day time window, usually a two-hour span. On appointment day, the crew arrives with the truck, assesses the space, confirms the quote, and loads everything. The process typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on volume and difficulty of access. Payment is cash or card at completion.
Anthony's operates Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday appointments are available but less common; confirm availability when scheduling. The truck is a standard single-axle dump truck, so it requires a driveway or street parking near your home; narrow alleys or gated communities may require manual carrying of items to the street. Most Oklahoma City neighborhoods accommodate the truck without issue.
Anthony's Junk Removal fills the gap between DIY bulk-item drop-off and the overhead of larger hauling companies, making it a practical choice for Oklahoma City residents managing a one-time cleanout without weeks of advance notice.
