I couldn't be more impressed with Purple Cow and there team! They got us the equipment we needed on a less then 24 hour notice, with communication updates via text as everything was getting in place. They also made sure that we utilized to our maximum ability & capacity with the dump trailer! There guys were kind enough to make sure we fit everything we could into it before they took it and brought us another one!!! My MIL's basement clean out is almost completely done and we couldn't have gotten as far as we did today with out there flexibility and stellar customer service! We will 100% will be using this company again! Thank you Kelly, Tamara, & Team!
Professional hardworking and honest. I really enjoyed the experience having Charles, Jason and Cody helping clear out my home so I could have a successful move. Couldn't have done it without them!
Charles with Purple Cow Junk Hauling came out quickly, on time and did an amazing job with our house clean out. Reasonably priced, so much that I added a large tip-he was sooooo worth it. Would recommend!
The service to remove an old washer/dryer combo was easy to schedule. Cody and Charles were on right time, and got both appliances up the steps from the basement through tight doorways with care for the woodwork and walls, which was much appreciated.
Great response time and great prices. I was disappointed to see that the crew at first did not remove our tall MDF cabinet as we had previously agreed. My husband told me the crew had made a pickup earlier in the day, so they had no room to accommodate the cabinet. However, this was quickly rectified via customer service. They were able to come back out the next day and pick up the cabinet at no charge.
I can't recommend Purple Cow Junk Removal enough!! 😍 From Nicole (admin assistance & scheduling) to the team -- Charles, Vickie and Cody -- that not only helped me get rid of stuff and deep clean my apartment, but also moved what I did want to keep back to my Mom's halfway across town, all in one day...I'm more than impressed -- I'm flabbergasted at how fast everything went. 🤯😳 Per my request, they evenbrought my car around from the back lot to the front of the building for me
I can’t say enough good things about purple cow. We lived in Ames for 3 years and remodeled our house. I was also working on the road. We used purple cow for our lawn, gutters, dump trailers, and many other things. The few times we had slight mishaps or miscommunication it was corrected immediately. Purple Cow has come through for me many times. Thank you all again for all your help.
We just cleaned out our garage and had a pile of trash plus some usable materials. I was looking at days of sorting and finding customers for the usable items. Some stuff the garbage haulers wouldn’t take unless I reduced the size. I just wanted it all gone. One call to Purple Cow took care of everything at a reasonable price. My neighbors are happy, my wife’s happy, and that means I’m happy. They recycle and repurpose all they can before landfilling and I feel good about that. I highly recommend them.
Friendly, efficient, prompt. Happy to have them helping me!
Attention to detail and a very thorough job shoveling my snow!
Was quick, easy and friendly to work with
Great service, friendly team, and did a wonderful job picking up everything we needed.
Had them come and remove some junk, did a fantastic job! Highly recommended! Update: had Purple Cow come back for more junk removal a year later. Still highly satisfied, 5 stars! Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Excellent work, fair price. Highly recommended.
Hauled away a heavy old piano promptly and quickly. Great service. Thanks.
Super responsive and provided assistance immediately. Great team! Ill definitely work with them again.
Great service. Fast and courteous. Thank you
All services performed in an efficient and friendly manner. The results were exactly what I wanted.
Love Kelly and Nicole! They really helped me in a bind and were so kind and friendly in the process. Really appreciate the help from Purple Cow. Would highly recommend calling them!
First class and friendly employees and owner. Called around 10:00 about leaf removal, had estimate by 1:30, crew on site before 3:00. Thank for the quick and easy sercive

Great service and would highly recommend!!!
Purple Cow staff were prompt, efficient, and courteous. They removed everything agreed upon without damaging any walls, appliances, etc., professionally. Staff were speedy and careful. I highly recommend their skilled staff and will use them again. No mess, no fuss.
Charles was awesome! Went to work and completed the job. Super communicative! So very happy with your work!
Prompt service. Fair pricing. Good communication. Everything you want in a provider. Highly recommend Purple Cow!
Excellent response time and great customer service. Assembled air hockey table and benches quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Would use again on next project!
Great service ..great job. Highly recommend!
Charles and co. were extremely efficient, helpful, and courteous. They quoted me a fair price for disposal and labor to remediate a yard waste debacle. I look forward to working with these gentlemen in the future.
Some guys came down to check out my couches I need removed from my parents house, they came by and they worked with us well for pricing and we were able to figure something out. Awesome employees and very reasonable prices!
Purple cow came and got our stuff and did a great job!
Asked for a quote to remove basement drywall to prepare for future renovations. They came by and gave a fair quote within the week. As it was a bigger job, they needed to schedule me out 2 weeks, but it was a fair assessment as they were promptly on time daily and courteous to work with. Although I forgot to have a few items on their list, they were quick to ask and confirm the additional removal of debris. Overall they were a great company to work with, and I will definately be reaching out with more projects soon.
We used Purple Cows junk removal services. They had good communication, were fast and efficient, and were fairly priced. They made the process very easy. Would recommend. Thanks!
I had the best experience with them. Two guys came and they cleared all the junk in less than 30 minutes. The price was reasonable.
I highly recommend Dominik and the Crew at Purple Cow. They will definitely meet your needs and get the job done. Best junk removal team in Central Iowa....
Had them come and start doing my lawn service just in the last two weeks, they have been great to work with and followed my instructions. I look forward to keeping them as my lawn service.
Great company. They came to run an estimate the day I called, and then got the job done exactly as I preferred that same day!! Absolutely recommend.
Very polite and respectful. They contacted me back right away! Will use this company again.
Reliable and efficient! Thanks!
Nice guys. One time.
Purple Cow came and picked up my dryer that was no longer working. They were able to fit me in the same day and were polite and friendly.
Had purple cow do the junk removal for me. Charles was here and did a great job. I will totally recommend them for all junk removal related things!
Had an estimate done on pouring 2 small areas of concrete in my back yard and removing rocks. After over 1 week of waiting for my estimate I called and the estimate was finally sent over. Maybe I m just overreacting but $3,000 to put concrete in my fenced in yard? That s how much it costs to stain a fence!! I have used this company once in the past for installing 2 big TVs on my house back in November which they did a good job but I won t be doing business again with them.
Called and did the job in one day. Cleaned out the garage quickly. I highly recommend Charles and the crew at Purple Cow.
Very nice people
The team did a great job of clearing out my dads house. They were very quick and thorough. They were able to remove everything that we asked them to. The team was very courteous. I highly recommend Purple Cow.
Quick, fast and cheap! Highly recommend
Asked this company if they could pick up junk we no longer needed. They came by picked up everything we wanted to get rid of. They even took a barrel of sand that we no longer wanted without any issues. Definitely recommend this group if you are looking for fast, easy and friendly service! Will use again when I have accumulate more junk I dont need
They originally quoted me a higher number and I nearly cancelled. But they showed up on time and costed less than renting the truck and doing it myself.
Purple Cow did a great job raising the corner of our deck for a very reasonable price.
Highly recommend, you guys are a lifesaver! They took care of several fairly large projects to get our house ready to sell after a short notice job offer required a quick relocation. Everything looks fantastic and rates were very reasonable!!
Five stars they were professional and personable, reasonable rates, and helpful. Even though our project took longer than anticipated they did not charge us more than the price they originally provided and they taught us how to remove and install new windows and they removed a very heavy old stationary bike from our basement for no charge.
Polite, helpful, efficient
I very pleased with the services Purple Cow provided for me. They were fast to respond to my phone call and removed my junk right away. The price was reasonable as well. I would recommend this company!
Good and fast service. Definitely recommend to anyone needing work done at their residence or business.
Excellent experience! Very punctual, professional, and very reasonably priced!
Great work done by Kelly and Charles. Very professional, good at their craft. Cupboards look brand new. Purple Cow is who you need to call for all your handyman needs. Thank you !!!
These guys did great removing a huge box of rocks from my basement. They got the job done in one day! Just make sure that the scope of the work is thoroughly understood at time of quotation. I did have to pay a little bit extra since one part of the job was not included in the original quote.
They were great crew to remove the furniture & all the junk that had accumulated over the past 40-50 years. Highly recommend them to any potential customers
The wrecking crew came in and removed a super heavy piano and heavy woodstove. They also removed the carpet from the basement area where these items were at. Now I am able to start the rebuilding of our basement. I m very pleased with the response time, work ethic, and results from purple cow.
Came at short notice and removed the furniture quickly. Very happy with the service I received.
Very courteous, timely, efficient. They removed a leather couch with recliners on each end. I would use again.
They did a great job, very professional and friendly, showed up on time, did the work quickly and completely. 43 years of stuff! I would definitely use them again.
I just needed an old mattress removed and Purple Cow was here to take it off my hands quickly. I plan to try some of their other services.
Honest and affordable. Have only used them once, but plan on a lot more.
Purple cow was excellent, I called because I needed a light switched, and some junk removed and also furniture from basement moved to garage. They were on time, professional courteous, and very pleasant and easy to work with. Could not recommend them any higher than a 10 out of 10. Call them.
Kelly with Purple Cow removed a hot tub from my deck. They were quick, careful, and a pleasure to work with!
Hauled off some really heavy couches for us. Prompt, professional, highly recommend.
Highly recommend! Kelly did a great job! We will definitely use them again!
Kelly did a wonderful job replacing screen on windows that had holes. He was on time did an excellent job and very professional. I will definitely use them again.
Excellent work, on time, and met expectations.
We have used Purple Cow Junk Removal & Home Services twice so far with our new home. Once for junk removal and the second time for replacing a lighting fixture (with associated electrical box and drywall repair). Also during that second visit we needed a hole for an air registered widened. Each visit, we got Kelly to come out and perform the job. Each time Kelly came out to help us, the job was done correctly. I cannot speak highly enough to the fact that Kelly was accurate with his work and took the time to do it right the first time. The first visit, Kelly could not get parts of an old bed frame out the front door by himself. He broke parts of the frame, bare handed, to ensure there was no damage to our home during removal. When we needed to widen the hole for the air register, Kelly discovered why the hole had not been fixed by the previous owner. Under the wood flooring was very durable tiling. Kelly went back to his truck, produced a hammer and chisel, and then he chiseled it out. This was done while waiting for the drywall patch for the new lighting fixture to dry. Efficiently using his time. I cannot speak highly enough of the two visits and the great work we have gotten from them. We did have to wait for their second visit because of how highly demanded there services are. However, I will definitely be waiting if I need to hire them again in the future.
I bought a house in Ames today and I was well aware the home needed some TLC. But it also needed some muscle. The sellers had left some larger items and debris throughout the home. I called Purple Cow on the recommendation of my buying agent and Im glad I did. They hauled two fridges with one full of food. They also broke down an old wooden shelving unit and other items left unceremoniously by the sellers. The best part? They were professional and empathized with my frustrations. They also made quick work of the removal. Listen when I say they are worth every purple penny!
Great experience. Kelly was on time. Very professional and personable. He was efficient. He was on time and had the job completed within half an hour. I would highly recommend Purple Cow. The job was booked right away and everything hauled away quickly. Very pleased with the work done.
Kelly was here promptly as promised and took my old bedding away. I would definitely use them again!
I had Purple Cow come and do junk removal and they were timely, quick, and professional.
Purple Cow has helped us haul off a lot of junk and items from our home, and they ve always been so efficient and friendly. It s amazing how much stuff they can load and take and the pricing is super reasonable. They ve been great to work with- highly recommend! Thanks guys!
Very responsive especially during move in week in Ames. We will use them again.
Highly recommend their service. Kelly was really nice to work with. He did a nice job and cleaned up.

Hired to do some landscaping and was top notch service from quote to service performed will definitely use again.
Very nice. Gentlemen, great to work with !
Excellent, professional and dependable service!!!
My family just moved to Ames. I called and requested a quote for mowing service. Peter showed up on time, was competitively priced and did an excellent job.
Awesome to work with!
I love these guys and I live out of town. I wasn t sure who to call and when I called them I immediately felt at home and valued and important and they made me feel at ease that they could help me get rid of all this crazy junk.
I had inherited a garage stuffed with cardboard and old junk. Gave these folks a call and the problem is now solved. Communication is top notch and they removed everything quickly. Pretty stress free. 10/10 would recommend!

I have had great experiences with Purple Cow Junk Removal first with hauling away furniture, and now with the lawn mowing service. FANTASTIC customer service!
Purple Cow has assisted me several times in the last year, and I would not hesitate to call upon them again. Super service from a great crew.
We have had Purple Cow do a few clean up jobs for us recently. They did a great job. If we had any questions or concerns they responded quickly. We added a few things on the fly and they had no problem accommodating us. We are already having them do another project for us in a week and will use them in the future. Thank you Purple Cow
Did an awesome job. Would totally use again.
I has a ton of stuff to move! Kelly took good care of me! Same day service!
Easy to work with.
Quick response, keeps client informed at every step, very professional. Great job by good people.
We were very pleased with timely, quality clean outs by Purple Cow Junk Removal & Home Services.
We had old shelving, boxes, and various other items that needed to be disposed. I booked an appointment online and they were onsite in less than 24 hours and my items were gone! Quick and easy process!
Very professional and did a great job with the installations I needed help with in my home.
Very conscientious and steadfast in completion. Will definitely use service again.
I ve had Purple Cow remove junk and debris twice now. They are friendly and professional, and I d recommend them to anyone.
They were quick to return our phone call and came out that same day to help us remove a sofa before our new one came.
Charles arrived and was ready to work. He did the estimate and answered all my questions and got to work!

Very quick and effective service, came out and removed our piano a good price. Would use them again!
They responded quickly for us. Was professional and done a great job of getting everything we needed taken away. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks for a great job done!!
Purple Cow took away a really heavy treadmill and other trash. Really appreciate it!
Did a great job removing some branches from our yard!
The service was great. They arrived when they said they would and quickly removed our junk. Everyone was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend them
I requested help with fall cleanup of our yard. They were excellent at communicating their schedule. I was told the crew was running late. Only one person arrived with a full trailer and a rake and shovel. Another person arrived a couple hours later with shears. I was working with them and in 3 hours they had accomplished what my wife and I typically get done in 2 hours. They kept busy but productivity was not what I expected for $75 per hour per person. With no real yard care equipment they were not prepared to perform the work.
Purple Cow always does a great job
The came a little late. But I was notify right away they would show up about 10 minutes late. So the communication was great. After getting to our house they started working right away and they did a great job. I recommend them 100 %
Was on time and honest and left no mess and everything looks great.
Great same day service and very reasonable prices
Removed junk from my moms house after it was sold. Thorough job,were professional, friendly, & explained process clearly. I will use them again if the need this type of service. Kris
I cannot say enough good about Purple Cow Junk removal. Having just moved to town and the holidays fast approaching, I needed the help in removing a whole lotta junk. I also had several large heavy items moved to various different places in the house and garage. Kelly and Lee showed up on time (a BIG plus in my book). Introduced themselves and we did a walk through of everything I was asking. I was given a quote and they went to work. Communication was great right from the start I got a quick call back to schedule, I was notified when they were on the way and again they showed up on time. I could not be happier with the service they provided. THANK you Kelly!
They were really good they cleaned all the cardboard junk from my garage and took really less time I would recommend to go with them
They showed up to give me the estimate to get my removed and were able to do it the same day. They did a great job at junk removal.
We signed up for an estimate and the same day they came for that, they hauled our junk out of the basement. The next day they tackled our garage. The crew was friendly, capable, and fast workers. They made sure to check with every item before they junked it and followed all our preferences and needs. We highly recommend them!
Stellar Service in Clearing Out My Basement and Garage! I recently hired Purple Cow to tackle the absolute sh*tshow in my basement and garage, and I couldnt be more pleased with their exceptional service. From the moment they arrived, it was evident they were committed to their work and didnt shy away from the labor-intensive task ahead. One standout quality was their unwavering dedication. They dove right into the mess, working tirelessly to clear out the accumulated junk. Despite the challenging conditions, they remained focused and efficient throughout the entire process. Moreover, what truly set this team apart was their attentiveness. They actively listened when I pointed out items I wanted to keep, ensuring nothing of importance was mistakenly discarded. This level of care and consideration was immensely appreciated and made the entire experience seamless. Their professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend Purple Cow to anyone seeking reliable, hardworking professionals who genuinely value their clients preferences. They transformed my unlivable spaces into a junk-free area, and for that, Im extremely grateful.
They did awesome and took everything I asked them too, would highly recommend.
Awesome job clearing out our storage locker. Professional and courteous would highly recommend!
Best snow plow service.
Prompt and professional. Excellent service!!!
I just used these guys for the first time. Friendly and hard working crew. They got my junk pile cleaned up fast and efficiently.
The two young men were right on time. They were very friendly & considerate, giving us a comfort level that they would do a good job.They immediately set to work and removed all our junk - furniture in the house, scrap wood & sheet rock, bicycles, gas grill, de-himidifier, and other junk we had accumulated in the garage. Scheduling was easy, their pricing is very reasonable and there is no doubt that we will use their service again! Thank you, Purple Cow, for helping us de-clutter!
I called them first thing Friday morning and by Friday at 1:00 pm the stuff was picked up. I will definitely use them again.
Shingles on the roof of our house were blown off by the wind. Brian came out on time. He knew exactly what needed to be done. He replaced the shingle right away. I highly recommend calling Josiah at Purple Cow if you have any home issues requiring attention by a handyman.
Josiah and the team helped remove junk from a house I recently purchased and I couldn t be happier! They were quick and responsive through the entire process and left the house spotless. I couldn t have asked for a better experience.
Josiah was on time for our estimate appointment. He was courteous and professional. We agreed to a price, and set a date and time for removal of my yard waste. The job was completed on time, and the workers did a complete and professional job.
We were moving out of our house after 20+ years. We had some very large items to move. We added several things last minute and this company was great. Brian and Dylan were extremely helpful and worked very hard to clear out all of our items. Would highly recommend this company and will use them again when needed.
Great experience with Purple Cow, very professional and responsive. We had a whole slew of junk removed from a home by them. The person they sent is named Dylan and he did a very efficient and great job. We would recommend Purple Cow to anyone who needs their services.
Great experience with Purple Cow! Responsive and professional, they arrived on time and managed to move out some large couches for me. Will be calling them for any services in the future!
I wanted to get rid of some paint. They were able to pick it up the next day. Would recommend.
I was very happy with service and cost...we had several contractor bags of construction debris from re.odeling, and old paint cans from previous homeowners we were so happy to finally be rid of. Guys who showed up were on time, fast, clean cut and very friendly. Highly recommend!
Josiah and Kelly were great to work with. It was a large job and they removed everything quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this business!
Prompt hardworking and professional
Replaced a ceiling fan 25 feet off the ground with scaffolding.
Great service, extremely professional. Handled ALL our junk removal needs, including old paint and other potentially hazardous waste products.
I will always use this company for junk removal!! They have removed junk from us twice now and they are always punctual and quick. Their prices are EXTREMELY reasonable
Very nice service, very generous people! Exactly what we looking for.
This was a great experience from first talking with Dylan to set up an appointment for a quote, to meeting with Josiah to get the quote (which was VERY reasonable!), and finally to Kelly coming to the house to do the heavy lifting. He removed everything from wood scraps to old heavy furniture to a derelict lawn tractor. And did it all with a smile. My garage is now a garage again. Very highly recommended!!
Quick and thorough. They did great work! Thanks!
Mostly OK, but didnt remove kitchen range that was supposed to go. Estimate also included sweeping and vacuuming and wiping down walls and other surfaces, and this appears not to have happened. Also have not yet removed barrel of used oil that was supposed to be gone by now. UPDATE: When made aware of the problem, they came back and made it right.
Kelly did an awesome job getting in and getting out. Didn t leave a mess and was super careful about hitting the walls and doors. 10/10 recommend.
They put a cabinet in my kitchen. The quality of work was excellent and they were very respectful and helpful.
Incredibly convenient, cheap, they came to my house and picked up everything, I didnt even need to be there. Even let me drop stuff off after hours.
He did a great job and was a hard worker
So thankful that we located Purple Cow Junk Removal, as they were terrific, an outstanding combination of efficiency, kindness, personality, and hard work. They were responsive, highly communicative, professional, and quite simply, did their job very well. We enjoyed meeting and working with their staffer Kelly, who made the whole experience of cleaning out a loved ones home tolerable and positive while emotional. Kelly worked his butt off, and could not have been better to work with. Purple Cow will price match another estimate, but for me there would be no doubt that we would use them again due to their overall performance on this difficult project. We are grateful.
