Media Junk Removal Services
Junk Hammers clear junk across Media, PA — the borough’s Victorian twins and rowhomes off State Street, the apartments around Granite Run, and the offices around the county courthouse. We carry everything out ourselves and quote one firm price before any of it moves.
Furniture, appliances, whole-house and estate cleanouts, basements, attics, construction debris and hot tubs all go. Media’s streets were never built for parking, so we plan the truck before we start rather than after.

Junk removal in Media, PA
Media is a small borough with a big turnover problem. Roughly 62% of households here rent rather than own, the housing stock runs to late-1800s and early-1900s brick Victorians, Queen Annes and Foursquares, and the borough sits on Baltimore Pike with Route 252 down its eastern edge and I-476 just to the east.
Old houses with narrow stairs and rented floors that change hands often is exactly the mix that generates cleanout work — and exactly the mix a curbside program handles badly.
Media’s bulk trash program, and where it stops
The borough runs bulk collection on the last Wednesday of each month. Each household gets one free heavy-trash pickup per calendar year; after that it is $30 per pickup, paid in advance. Each pickup is capped at five items with a maximum of two large appliances, and extra appliances are $15 each.
The exclusion list is the part that catches people out. Anything containing freon is refused — refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers. So are pianos, wood pallets, microwaves, monitors, computers, copiers, printers and televisions. Mattresses have to be wrapped in plastic or a mattress bag. And you have to book by noon on the Monday before.
Five items once a year does not empty a Victorian basement, and most of what actually fills one is on the refused list. That is the gap we exist for: we take the fridge, the old TV, the piano and the unwrapped mattress, we take them out of the house rather than off the kerb, and we come the week you ask.
Working Media’s streets
The borough says plainly that its streets were mostly not built with kerbside parking in mind, and the residential permit zones off State Street prove it. We size the vehicle to the street and stage the load rather than blocking a lane, which matters in a walkable downtown with a trolley running down the middle of it.
