Top 10 Bulky Items We Haul Away (and How We Handle Them)

If you've ever tried moving an old refrigerator, wrestling with an old, sagging couch, or figuring out how to get rid of a riding lawn mower, you know one thing: bulky items are a pain. They're too heavy to lift on your own, they don't fit in your car, and they often aren't accepted in curbside trash service. That's where Jon's Hauling & Junk Removal comes in.

We specialize in affordable, eco-friendly hauling across Corvallis and surrounding areas. Our crew brings the trucks, the muscle, and the know-how to handle even the toughest jobs. From homeowners and renters to businesses and property managers, we make bulky items disappear quickly and responsibly. We can haul nearly anything, large or small, but here are the Top 10 bulky items we haul away (and how we handle them).

1. Refrigerators & Freezers

Refrigerators and freezers are some of the most challenging appliances to remove. Not only are they heavy and awkward to move, but they also contain refrigerants like Freon that require special disposal. Jon's Hauling provides the equipment to maneuver fridges out of tight spaces. With our help, you won't break your back or risk a fine trying to handle your old fridge. Jon does it safely and responsibly.

2. Washers & Dryers

These appliances often weigh a ton. Getting a washer and dryer down a flight of stairs or through narrow hallways is no small task. We use dollies, straps, and teamwork to load washers and dryers safely. For Corvallis renters and property managers, quick washer/dryer removal helps turn units more quickly and keeps new tenants satisfied.

3. Couches & Sofas

Couches top the list of "furniture nightmares." They're bulky, don't bend, and usually don't fit in the back of a pickup. Our crews have the tools and expertise to dismantle bulky furniture if needed. If you've got one couch to get rid of, ask us about Single Item Saturday, our affordable one-item pickup service.

4. Mattresses & Box Springs

Mattresses are notorious for being hard to dispose of. They're too big for curbside bins, they don't compress, and most landfills charge extra fees. We can haul away old mattresses of all sizes, with no stress on you.

5. Bedframes & Dressers

Oversized dressers, headboards, and bulky bedframes are heavy and awkward to maneuver. Our team disassembles large pieces if necessary, making it easier and safer to remove them.

6. Air Conditioners

Like refrigerators, air conditioners require special handling due to their use of refrigerants and heavy metal components. Jon's Hauling makes AC and HVAC system disposal hassle-free.

7. Large Televisions & Electronics

Electronics, including modern flat screens, can be tricky to remove due to size and hazardous components. We follow e-waste recycling guidelines to ensure toxic elements (e.g., lead, mercury) don't end up in the wrong place.

8. Hot Tubs & Outdoor Furniture

Hot tubs and oversized patio furniture are notorious for being both heavy and space hogs. A hot tub alone can weigh over 500 pounds. Jon's Hauling can even handle that!

9. Office Furniture & Equipment

Offices can quickly become cluttered with old, bulky desks, filing cabinets, tables, and computers. Jon and his team offer commercial hauling services tailored for office and business cleanouts. We'll remove those old desks, chairs, furniture, and electronics in no time. Our services save businesses the headache of downtime.

10. Riding Lawn Mowers & Yard Equipment

Lawn mowers, tractors, and other yard equipment can be heavy, messy, and dangerous to move on your own. Let professionals handle it. We use ramps, dollies, and proper lifting techniques to safely load equipment. Our services leave you with no concerns about what to do with broken or outdated equipment.

Tips for Preparing Bulky Items for Hauling

Want your pickup to go smoothly? Here are a few tips before our crew arrives:

  • Clear a path: Remove obstacles from hallways and doorways.
  • Disconnect utilities: Unplug appliances, shut off water, or disconnect gas lines.
  • Remove personal items: Empty drawers from dressers, clear bedding from mattresses.
  • Drain fluids: If you're hauling yard equipment, drain fuel or oil if possible.
  • Please let us know about any special details, such as narrow staircases, multiple flights of stairs, or oversized items. We'll bring the right equipment.

And don't worry. If prep isn't possible, our crew can still handle the heavy lifting.
