Junk Removal in Murphy, TX
Furniture, appliances, garage cleanouts and move-outs in Richardson's fast-grown northeastern neighbor.
From 3,000 People to 21,000
Murphy sits in southern Collin County, midway between Plano and Wylie on FM 544, and borders Richardson to the southwest. It grew faster than almost anywhere nearby: from 3,099 people in 2000 to 21,013 in 2020, according to its history, with growth taking off after the President George Bush Turnpike opened in 1999.
With that much growth since 2000, much of Murphy's housing is relatively young. Junk here is less about attics full of heirlooms and more about moving boxes, furniture upgrades, outgrown play sets and the first round of remodels.

When Hiring Makes Sense in Murphy
The 50-pound limit leaves out most sofas, mattresses in good frames, dressers and appliances. For heavy items, more than four cubic yards, or items you can't get to the curb, a hauler is the simpler option.
