Empty planters · Patio and yard pickups

Clear unwanted empty pots and garden planters

Old empty pots can collect beside a shed, on the patio or behind the garage. List the planters you want removed and leave difficult pieces where they are. JunkPDX reviews the complete load and gives you the price before carrying and loading.

A real JunkPDX backyard project before removal. List empty planters separately from soil-filled containers, plants and other outdoor material so the crew can review the full pickup.

Count the empty containers and describe their materials

Group similar pots and list the larger planters individually. Identify plastic, wood, ceramic, metal or concrete when known, and give approximate dimensions for bulky pieces. Include saucers, detached stands and broken pieces if they should leave too. Mark matching containers you still use so the pickup list does not depend only on where the pots are stacked.

Check empty planters and other accepted items

Tell us if a planter is still filled

An empty pot and a soil-filled container need different weight and handling reviews. Say whether soil, gravel, plants or water remain and which parts you want removed. Soil removal is not included automatically. Leave heavy filled pots in place and ask about preparation before moving or emptying them. Keep pesticides, fertilizers and unknown liquids separate from the ordinary pickup list.

Show patios, gates and heavy pieces in place

Photograph each removal area and the route to truck parking, including steps, slopes, gates and soft ground. Tell us about cracked pots or loose sharp pieces rather than hiding them inside another container. A large concrete planter can need more handling than its footprint suggests. The crew reviews carrying needs without requiring you to stage heavy pots at the road.

Combine the approved outdoor items in one estimate

Empty planters can be reviewed alongside unwanted patio furniture or other accepted household contents. Show every included pile so the quote covers the actual volume, weight, carrying and disposal. The onsite estimate is free with no obligation; hauling is paid after price approval. Share your property's full address and any deadline when checking available estimate times.

Common questions.

Do I have to move heavy planters to the curb?

No. Leave difficult pots where they are and show the route from the patio, yard or shed to truck parking. Describe steps, ground conditions and the material so carrying and handling can be included in the agreed price.

Can you take soil-filled pots too?

Send photos, dimensions and a description of the contents for separate review. Say whether both the container and contents should leave. Empty-planter pickup does not establish acceptance or pricing for soil, and you should discuss preparation before emptying heavy pots yourself.

Can old patio chairs go in the same pickup?

Accepted patio furniture and empty planters can be reviewed together. Count heavy bases, tables and broken pieces separately, and show all removal areas. You approve the combined scope and complete onsite price before loading.

Your onsite estimate is free, with no obligation to hire us. Approve the full price before any removal begins.
