Bears Moving Co. handles junk removal in St. Ives — garage, basement, and attic cleanouts, single-item pickups, appliances and mattresses, renovation debris, and full estate clear-outs. We carry it out, load it, sweep the space, and route the load to donation, recycling, or the transfer station.
Pricing follows the job rather than the clock: truck volume first, then weight, item type, difficulty of the carry, travel, and disposal fees, quoted on site before we load. Licensed GA HHG #9320, serving ZIP 30022, 30097 around St. Ives Country Club, Jones Bridge Circle, Chattahoochee River trails, and Findley Oaks Elementary.
St. Ives is one of our regular service areas in metro Atlanta. St. Ives is golf-course-home country — brick traditionals on the fairway, three-car garages full of yard equipment, and a strong upsize-downsize cycle inside the same gate. Most loads here run 8+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) brings licensed, insured crews who know the streets, buildings, and parking realities of St.
Ives — so your move day stays on schedule.
Around St. Ives Country Club, Jones Bridge Circle, Chattahoochee River trails, and Findley Oaks Elementary, three things decide the day: parking, stairs, and carry distance. Everything else about a cleanout is easy by comparison. The carry is rarely the hard part in Johns Creek — the truck backs up the driveway and the garage door becomes the loading bay.
The time goes to the attic pull-down, the crawlspace, and the corner of the basement nobody has opened.
Attics and crawlspaces full of boxes nobody has opened. Old appliances sitting in a corner of the garage. Post-remodel piles of cabinets, tile, and trim. Backyard structures that have to be taken apart before anything can be loaded.
The usual Johns Creek call is a garage that has been postponed for years, a backyard structure that has to come apart before it loads, or an estate emptied ahead of a listing.
Common St. Ives jobs include garage and basement cleanouts, old appliances, mattresses, and box springs, playsets, swing sets, sheds, and hot tubs taken apart on site, and whole-house and estate cleanouts before a sale. We cannot take hazardous materials: paint and solvents, chemicals, motor oil and fuel, propane tanks, batteries, medical waste, or anything containing asbestos.
Everything else — furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, yard waste, construction debris — is fair game.
Junk removal is not billed by the hour. Every job is quoted from the characteristics of the load: how much of the truck it fills, what it weighs, what is in it, how hard it is to get out, how far we drive, and what the disposal site charges to take it.
We start with volume, because that is what the truck can carry. A quarter, half, three-quarter, or full truckload, quoted on site once we see the pile. Weight comes next. It follows, because concrete, brick, dirt, tile, and shingles are charged by the ton at the transfer station.
Certain items carry their own disposal fees — refrigerant appliances, mattresses and box springs, electronics, and tires — and those are passed through at cost.
Labor is the rest of it. driveway-and-garage access, stairs, a long carry, and anything that has to be taken apart before it fits through a door all add crew time. Travel to the property and on to the disposal site is included in the quote, and there is no separate trip charge for ZIP 30022, 30097.
A Johns Creek garage or basement cleanout usually runs a half to a full truckload, and volume plus a few heavy or fee-carrying items decide the number. You see the number before we load, and it does not move unless the pile does.
Items are split three ways on the truck: donated, recycled as metal or appliance scrap, or disposed of if nothing else fits. Nothing goes into one undifferentiated pile — items are separated while loading, and we can forward donation receipts or weigh tickets when an estate or a company needs the documentation.
Scheduling in St. Ives is typically quick for anything under a half truckload. Managed properties needing a Certificate of Insurance or a reserved elevator are covered too: paperwork the next day, window locked in with management.

A Johns Creek garage or basement cleanout usually runs a half to a full truckload, and volume plus a few heavy or fee-carrying items decide the number.
