Restored Victorian row houses around the Circle and the new condo buildings along 14th Street (20005, 20009; the eastern blocks toward Shaw fall in 20001). Flat photo-quoted price from $75 — renovation debris the city will not touch, and condo turnover with the COI filed before we roll. Carried up and out, no stair fee.

Upload a Photo & Get Quote →Logan Circle is a neighborhood in permanent renovation. The restored Victorian row houses around the Circle get gutted, re-gutted and improved on a rolling basis — kitchens pulled out, bathrooms taken back to the joists, built-ins demolished, a cast-iron tub replaced by something the second floor can actually support. That work produces a very specific kind of load, and it is the load that no municipal program in the District will take.
A block away, the new condo buildings along 14th Street generate the opposite job: clean, fast unit turnover, with a concierge, a freight elevator, a management company, and a certificate of insurance that has to be on file before anyone touches the service corridor. Same neighborhood, same affluent professional and LGBTQ+ community that has anchored these blocks for decades, two completely different operations.
We do both, and the reason people here call rather than wait is the same in each case: neither job has a free city option. One is excluded by material, the other by building type. (DC sales tax applies at checkout.)
Photograph the debris pile, the torn-out bathroom or the unit. An exact flat price comes back in seconds — no site visit, no number that moves later.
Same-day is usually open across 20005 and 20009. Mid-renovation? We come back in stages so the trades keep working. Condo? We file the COI and book the elevator.
An insured, vetted crew hauls it up from the cellar or down from the third floor, blankets what it passes, and routes usable cabinets and fixtures to ReStore.
Flat and photo-quoted. Renovation material prices by volume or by bag; fixtures and furniture price per piece; a whole job prices as truck-fill. The carry, the loading and the disposal are already inside the number — no stair fee, no high-rise fee.

$75 order minimum. A tear-out almost always prices better as truck-fill or by the cubic yard than as a list of individual fixtures — photograph the pile rather than counting cabinet doors. Once past roughly a room's worth of material the ladder usually wins, and we quote both and give you the lower one. DC sales tax applies at checkout.
An outside benchmark: HomeGuide's 2026 pricing research puts a 1-800-GOT-JUNK half truck at roughly $400–$600 and a full truck at $700–$1,000, with College HUNKS around $350–$500 for a half load and $600–$800+ for a full one — all volume-priced and confirmed only after an estimator comes out. Our full truck is a published $985, committed from photographs before dispatch.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| DC DPW bulk trash (311 / dpw.dc.gov) | Free | Scheduled appointment | Renovation and C&D debris are not accepted at all — and the program only serves single-family and ≤3-unit buildings, 7 items per appointment |
| Roll-off dumpster rental | Rental + permit + tonnage | Days on your street | Needs a driveway or a permitted street space Logan Circle does not have — and you still carry everything out and over the side yourself |
| Contractor hauls it away | Built into the invoice | End of job | Often quoted as a lump "disposal" line, and the pile lives in your front room until the trades finish |
| Franchise hauler (1-800-GOT-JUNK, College HUNKS) | ≈$400–$600 half truck, $700–$1,000 full (HomeGuide 2026) | 1–3 days | Volume-priced after an on-site estimate, and many decline heavy C&D material |
| JunkRabbit | From $75 · debris $162/cu yd · truck-fill $325–$985 | Same day | None — flat photo price, staged mid-renovation hauls, we carry it out, no container on your street |
This is the section that matters most in this neighborhood, and the answer is unusually clean.
DC DPW bulk trash — the free program you schedule through 311 or dpw.dc.gov — explicitly does not accept renovation or construction and demolition debris. Not a limited amount of it. Not with a special appointment. The program is built for household bulk items, and it serves only single-family homes and buildings of three units or fewer, with a cap of seven items per appointment, collected curbside on a scheduled date.
Logan Circle gut-renovates row houses constantly. Old kitchen cabinets, a cast-iron tub, plaster and lath off the walls, a demolished built-in, a radiator that came out with the HVAC change, the carpet under all of it. None of that is eligible for city pickup — even if you own a perfectly qualifying single-family Victorian row house on the Circle itself. The exclusion is about the material, not the address, so the usual "check whether you qualify" advice does not help you here. There is no free route for this load.
And then the second exclusion, which catches the other half of the neighborhood. The new condo buildings along 14th Street are four-plus-unit buildings, and under District rules condos, co-ops and buildings of four or more units are excluded from city bulk pickup outright and must have bulk items removed by a private, licensed hauler. For a 14th Street owner clearing a unit, the free option does not exist regardless of what is being removed.
Between the two, most of what actually needs to leave Logan Circle in a given month is private-hauler work. That is not a sales pitch, it is how the District's program is drawn — and knowing it up front saves you a phone call to 311 and a week of waiting for an appointment that was never going to be granted.
Renovation loads divert better than most people expect, and we work them hard. Habitat for Humanity ReStore is the obvious first stop for a Logan Circle tear-out — it specifically resells kitchen cabinets, doors, vanities, fixtures and lighting, so a cabinet run in good condition can furnish someone else's kitchen instead of being crushed. Usable furniture and household goods go to Goodwill of Greater Washington, the Salvation Army and A Wider Circle in Silver Spring, with receipts on request.
Metal is the other big diversion. A cast-iron tub, the radiators, copper pipe, steel framing and appliance shells all go to scrap rather than the tip. Electronics go to the District's e-waste drop-off, and any refrigerant appliance gets EPA-certified recovery before disposal. What genuinely has to be landfilled — the plaster, the lath, the broken tile — tips at a regional transfer station, and since tipping in this metro is expensive, every pound we divert first is a pound neither of us pays to bury.
The row houses. Three or four floors, a cellar, no elevator, and a Victorian staircase with a turn that was not designed around a cast-iron tub. We carry material up from the cellar and down from the top floor, take doors off hinges where something will not clear, and blanket rails, newel posts and restored plaster on the way past — this is a neighborhood where the finishes are the point. No stair fee.
The 14th Street buildings. A certificate of insurance naming the management company or association as additional insured, filed 48–72 hours ahead, plus a reserved freight-elevator or loading-dock window. Send us the building contact when you book and it is handled before dispatch. Nothing routes through the lobby if there is a service corridor, sectionals get split to clear the elevator, and there is no high-rise surcharge.
The street. Permit-parked with no driveways, which is exactly why a roll-off dumpster is a poor fit on these blocks — there is nowhere to legally set one without a permit process, and it occupies your frontage for days. We arrive, load, and leave, with a short planned on-street window and nothing staged on the sidewalk.
"Rowhouse basement cleared, carried up and out, swept clean. Flat price from a photo. Didn't lift a thing."
"Condo turnover — couch and mattress gone same-day. Flat quote, easy. Highly recommend."
"Old furniture and a fridge gone in an afternoon. Photo, flat price, easy. Will use again."
How much does it cost in Logan Circle?
Flat, photo-quoted: construction debris $162 per cubic yard, contractor bag $55, ten bags $178, twenty bags $348, large loose pile $280, rolled carpet $92; cast-iron tub $249, fiberglass tub $121, vanity $93, cabinet $99, radiator $99, toilet $86, sink $82; sofa $170, 3-piece sectional $249, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221. Whole jobs run the truck-fill ladder, $325 at 2/8 up to $985 full. $75 order minimum, carry and disposal included. DC sales tax applies at checkout.
Will DC take my renovation debris?
No. DPW bulk trash does not accept renovation or construction and demolition debris at any address, and the program only serves single-family and ≤3-unit buildings with a seven-item cap. The 14th Street condo buildings are separately excluded as four-plus-unit buildings and must use a private licensed hauler.
Can you haul mid-renovation, in stages?
Yes — that is how most renovations here use us, so the pile never takes over the front room. Debris by the cubic yard, by the bag, or the visit as truck-fill, whichever is lower.
Can you get a cast-iron tub down the stairs?
Yes, $249, from any floor, with the rails and plaster blanketed on the turns. No stair fee.
Is a dumpster cheaper?
Rarely here — there is nowhere on a permit-parked Logan Circle block to legally set one, and you would still be carrying everything out and over the side yourself.
Do you file condo COIs?
Yes — 48–72 hours ahead, naming management or the association as additional insured, with the freight elevator or dock reserved. No high-rise surcharge.
Can you come same-day?
Usually across 20005 and 20009 if photos arrive in the morning, with no same-day premium. A building's 48–72 hour COI notice is the one thing that can push the date.
Flat and photo-quoted. Renovation material: construction debris $162 per cubic yard, a contractor bag $55, ten bags $178, twenty bags $348, a large loose pile $280, rolled carpet $92. Fixtures: cast-iron bathtub $249, fiberglass bathtub $121, vanity $93, toilet $86, sink $82, radiator $99, storage or kitchen cabinet $99. Furniture: sofa $170, 3-piece sectional $249, queen mattress $139, refrigerator $221. A whole job prices as truck-fill: 2/8 of the truck $325, 3/8 $455, 4/8 $580, 5/8 $690, 6/8 $790, 7/8 $890, full truck $985. The order minimum is $75, and the carry, loading and disposal are included. DC sales tax applies at checkout.
No, and not at any address in the District. DC DPW bulk trash, scheduled through 311 or dpw.dc.gov, explicitly does not accept renovation or construction and demolition debris. It also serves only single-family homes and buildings of three units or fewer, with a cap of seven items per appointment. So the cabinets, the cast-iron tub, the plaster and lath and the demolished built-in from a Logan Circle gut renovation have no municipal route at all — even for the owner of a perfectly qualifying single-family row house. That material is private-hauler work by definition.
Yes, and it is how most Logan Circle renovations use us. Rather than letting a tear-out pile up in the front room until the end, we clear it in stages so the trades have somewhere to work. Debris prices at $162 per cubic yard, bagged material at $55 per contractor bag, $178 for ten and $348 for twenty, and a large loose pile at $280 — or the whole visit prices as truck-fill from $325 to $985 if that comes out lower. Send photos of the pile and you get the number before we roll.
Yes. A cast-iron bathtub is $249 and a fiberglass one $121, and the price is the same whether it is in a basement bath or on the third floor of a row house. Cast iron is the heaviest single thing that comes out of a Logan Circle bathroom, and it comes down the stairs on our crew's shoulders, with the rails and the plaster blanketed on the turns. There is no stair fee.
Yes. Those buildings generally require a certificate of insurance filed 48 to 72 hours ahead naming the management company or association as additional insured, plus a reserved freight-elevator or loading-dock window. Send us the building contact when you book and we file the COI and reserve the window before the crew is dispatched. There is no high-rise surcharge, and sectionals are split as needed to clear the service elevator.
Rarely on these blocks. A dumpster needs a driveway or a permitted street space, and Logan Circle row houses have neither — the street is permit-parked and there is nowhere to put a container without a permit process. A dumpster also sits at the curb doing nothing for you: everything still has to be carried out of the house and over the side of it by hand. We carry it out for you, the container never occupies your street, and the number is fixed from photos rather than accruing by rental day and tonnage.
Yes, and it is cheapest priced as truck-fill rather than as an inventory. Send photos of the rooms or of the cellar from the bottom of the stairs and we quote the fill level — 2/8 of the truck $325, half $580, full $985 — with everything carried up and out and the floor swept behind us. Usable furniture is routed to donation with receipts on request.
Usable furniture, cabinetry and fixtures go to donation first — Goodwill of Greater Washington, the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which specifically resells kitchen cabinets, doors and fixtures, and A Wider Circle in Silver Spring — with receipts on request. Cast iron, radiators, copper and steel go to scrap rather than the landfill. Electronics go to the District's e-waste drop-off, and refrigerant appliances get EPA-certified recovery. Only genuinely spent material is tipped at a regional transfer station.
