Junk Removal in New Market, AL
Northeast Madison County, along the Mountain Fork of the Flint River. Junk removal for New Market homes, farm properties and outbuildings, with a free estimate first.
A Small, Old Community in the Foothills
New Market was settled in 1804 when Isaac and Joseph Criner came down from Tennessee to the Mountain Fork of the Flint River. George Smith built the first log house and store in 1814, and John Miller put up a gristmill and sawmill in 1819. Today the New Market Historic District and three other local sites are on the National Register of Historic Places.
It is still small, with 1,543 residents in the 2020 Census, about 17 miles northeast of Huntsville and 6 miles from the Tennessee border. Backbone Mountain and other outliers of the Cumberland Plateau rise about 800 feet above the town to the east. New Market also holds the state's record low: 27 degrees below zero on January 30, 1966.
Rural Properties, Rural Junk
Many New Market jobs are on acreage: barns, equipment sheds, old chicken houses and workshops that have collected decades of tools and materials. Older homes here also tend to have full attics and enclosed porches used for storage.
Long gravel drives, creek crossings and soft ground after rain all affect how close a truck can get. Mention them in the estimate request, along with any gates or low branches, so the plan and the price account for the carry.
New Market and the District 1 Landfill
- Close to home. District 1's landfill is at 385 Beth Road in New Market, and the district office is at 9457 Moores Mill Road, also with a New Market address. See the District 1 large debris page.
- Three free loads. District residents can bring up to three loads a month at no charge, if they have the truck to carry them.
- What it refuses. Household garbage, propane tanks and chemicals.
- Monthly pickup. Large items set at the road on your zone's week, about one pickup-bed per house.
When a Hauler Makes More Sense
If you have a truck and the items are light, the Beth Road landfill is close and practical. A hauled load makes more sense for heavy appliances, a full barn, an estate where family members live out of town, or anything that has to come down stairs.
Hazardous leftovers common on farm properties, such as old pesticides, motor oil and paint, cannot go in a junk load or to the district landfill. They go to the free Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Huntsville.
Older Homes Need a Little More Care
Homes in and around the New Market Historic District are among the oldest in the county, and older houses come with narrow stairs, low doorways, uneven floors and porches added over the years. All of that slows down moving a heavy dresser or an old chest freezer.
Mention any tight spots in the estimate request, along with anything fragile near the path out. Floors and doorframes are watched on the way out, and awkward pieces are carried rather than dragged.
