Conner Olhoft
Owner
Meet Conner Olhoft
Hi, I’m Conner Olhoft, the owner of Olhoft’s Window and Surface Care. I haul junk around Morris and Stevens County, from a single couch in the garage to a machine shed nobody’s opened in years. Out here, a lot of it can’t just go to the curb, and trips to the transfer station on 470th Avenue add up fast. My name is on the business, so every cleanout has to be one I’m proud of. Here’s how I got here.
Olhoft’s started with windows. Before I ran my own business, I worked at Superior Industries in Morris, and cleaning the windows there was one of my tasks. I liked making dirty glass look like nothing was there. Then I added pressure washing, soft washing, and gutters. Junk hauling is the newest addition, and it fits better than you’d think. A lot of cleanouts end with a house that needs its windows and siding done before it’s listed.
A cleanout isn’t finished when the trailer’s full. It’s finished when the floor is swept and you can park in the garage again. Everything gets carried out and loaded for you, and lifting weights in my off hours comes in handy when it’s a chest freezer coming up the basement stairs. Paint and chemicals get set aside, with directions to the county’s hazardous waste days. And you get a price range from your photos before I show up.

Best Practices for Junk Removal
in Morris
The best junk haulers around here follow a few standards. We hold ourselves to every one.
Price it before it's loaded.
A fair hauler confirms your price on site, before the first item hits the trailer. No surprises at the end.
Pull out the banned items first.
Appliances, tires, electronics, and paint each follow their own Minnesota rules. They get sorted before the load goes anywhere.
Donate what still works.
A clean dresser or kitchen table can help a neighbor. It shouldn't ride to a landfill in North Dakota.
Protect the house on the way out.
Door frames, railings, and floors take a beating when a sleeper sofa leaves the basement. Pad what you'd hate to repaint.
Leave the space usable.
A cleanout isn't done until the floor is swept and you can park in the garage again.
How Much Does Junk Removal Cost
in Morris?
Most junk removal jobs around Morris cost about $100 to $600. A single bulky item usually runs $75 to $175. A packed garage or full load of mixed junk can reach $500 to $800. National 2026 cost guides put the typical job between $150 and $600.
Your price depends on how much space your junk takes up, how heavy it is, and what's in it. Appliances, mattresses, and TVs carry disposal fees. Stairs, long carries, and jobs outside Stevens County can add a bit. You'll know your price before we load anything.
Is it expensive? Depends how you look at it. Borrowing a truck, making two trips, and paying fees at the transfer station adds up fast. So does a sore back.

Why Morris Homeowners Choose Olhoft's
as Their Junk Removal Company

Call or text 320-305-3686 and you reach the people who'll actually show up. No dispatcher in another time zone, and no surprise stranger at your door.
A Real Price Before We Load
You get a range from your photos. We confirm it on site before anything goes on the trailer. If it changes, you hear why first.

Good furniture goes to local donation spots. Metal goes to scrap. Only what's truly done goes to the Stevens County Transfer Station.
We Leave It Clean
We're a cleaning company first, and honestly, it shows. Every cleanout ends with a sweep. We can even pressure wash the garage floor → before we leave.
What We Haul (and What We Can't)
Most of what fills a garage or basement can go. A few things can't ride with general junk, either by law or for safety. Here's the short version.
Here's what most people don't realize. Minnesota bans major appliances, tires, yard waste, lead acid batteries, and motor fluids from regular trash. A good junk hauler sorts those out. A careless one just buries them in the load.
Junk Removal vs. Renting a Dumpster
Look, we'll be straight with you. If you're gutting a kitchen over two weeks, a dumpster usually makes more sense. We'll tell you that.
Want your real number?
Text a few photos of your junk to 320-305-3686. We'll send back a price range, usually the same day.
Where Your Junk Goes in Stevens County
Every load from Morris ends up somewhere. Most of it goes to the Stevens County Transfer Station at the old county landfill on 470th Avenue. The landfill closed years ago, and the county built the transfer station in 1989. Today, county garbage gets packed there and trucked out. Half goes to the Pope/Douglas waste to energy plant in Alexandria. The other half goes to a landfill in Gwinner, North Dakota.
So junk doesn't just vanish. It gets sorted, weighed, and charged for. The transfer station takes mattresses and carpet for a fee, and appliances and electronics cost extra too. Clean yard waste goes to the county compost site for free. Hours run 8 to 4 on weekdays and 8 to noon on Saturdays.
Here's what that means for the stuff we haul most, and how we handle each one.
Honestly, this is where a lot of haulers cut corners. Sorting takes time. It's also the difference between doing it right and just dumping it somewhere.

Junk Removal FAQs
How much does junk removal cost in Morris, MN?
Most jobs around Morris run $100 to $600. A single couch or mattress usually costs $75 to $175. A packed garage can reach $800. Text photos to Olhoft's for a real number.
What items will a junk removal company not take?
Most won't take wet paint, chemicals, propane tanks, or asbestos. Those need a hazardous waste site or a licensed specialist. Olhoft's tells you up front and points you to the county's collection days.
Do you haul away old refrigerators and freezers?
Yes. Minnesota requires appliances to be reused or recycled, so they can't go in the trash. Olhoft's carries them out and takes them to a recycler.
Where can I dump junk in Morris?
The Stevens County Transfer Station on 470th Avenue takes most household junk for a fee. It's open weekdays 8 to 4 and Saturday mornings. Or let Olhoft's haul it for you.
Is junk removal worth it, or should I rent a dumpster?
For cleanouts and bulky items, junk removal usually wins. You don't lift anything, and it's gone in one visit. For a remodel that runs a week or more, a dumpster often costs less. Olhoft's will tell you which fits.
Do I need to be home for junk pickup?
Not always. If items are outside or in an unlocked garage, we can grab them while you're at work. Olhoft's texts you when we're done.
Do you donate usable furniture?
Yes, when it's clean and in good shape. Local thrift stores have rules, though. Mattresses, TVs, and broken pieces rarely qualify. Olhoft's sorts that out for you.
Can you help me declutter before you haul?
Yes. We can work through a room with you and build keep, donate, and toss piles. Then Olhoft's hauls the rest the same day.
Do you offer same day junk removal in Morris?
Often, if the schedule allows. Call or text early in the day for the best chance. Olhoft's will give you an honest arrival time.
Do you offer commercial junk removal in Morris?
Yes. We clear offices, storefronts, churches, and rental units. Olhoft's can work early or after hours, so business keeps running.
