Contractor Left a Lumber Pile? We'll Clear It.
Most Herndon lumber piles start the same way: a contractor replaces the deck, the new boards go on, and the old ones end up stacked across the backyard. Deck builders usually quote for the new work only — hauling the old wood isn't part of the job. That's where we come in. We carry every board out to our trailer, haul it to a licensed disposal facility, and walk the lawn for nails, screws, and splinters before we leave.
We work all over Herndon — Floris, Fox Mill, McNair, Franklin Farm, and the streets around downtown. Text a photo of the pile and you'll have a price in minutes.
🔩 Nails and Splinters Are the Part People Forget
Old deck boards shed nails, screws, and sharp splinters into the grass. We comb through the lawn after loading so the yard is safe for kids, pets, and your mower.

A Recent Job — Deck Boards in Floris, Herndon
Shannon's contractor had just replaced her deck boards and left the old ones in a big pile across the backyard lawn. She texted us a photo, had a quote within minutes, and we booked the earliest time that worked for her. The deck was in the back of the yard, so the carry to the trailer was a long one — the whole job, including combing the grass, took about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Before and after — a half-trailer of old deck boards, gone in about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Watch the Herndon lumber removal job.
What Shannon Said
"So grateful for Matt and DMV Go Junk! It was so easy to text a photo of the decking materials I needed hauled away, and within minutes I had a quote that was better than any I'd seen. DMV Go Junk worked with me to get a time that met my needs and was ASAP. Communication was so easy and straightforward. He showed up on time and got the work done in a flash! Matt took extreme care to be respectful of the property, combing through the grass to make sure nothing was left behind. I would book with DMV Go Junk again in a heartbeat! Solid local company, excellent service, incredible pricing, fantastic scheduling, extreme care and attention to detail. I cannot recommend them enough."
