Junk removal in Manitou Springs, where the truck parks where it can
Manitou is the old mineral-springs town six miles west of downtown, tucked into the canyon at the foot of the Peak. Narrow streets, stone retaining walls, houses stacked up the hillside with forty stairs to the front door and no driveway at all. The crew carries. That is the whole method.
Nobody built Manitou Springs for a box truck. The streets are narrow, parking is tight, and the houses on the hillsides above Manitou Avenue are reached by stairs cut into the slope. We know this, we price for it, and we do not pretend a Manitou job is a Briargate job. The crew looks at the route from the house to the nearest place the truck can legally stand, works out whether it is a dolly job or a hand-carry job, and names the price with the carry in it.
What comes out of Manitou is older than the rest of the county. Estates in houses built before the First World War, with cast-iron radiators, claw-foot tubs and furniture that has not moved in sixty years. Hot tubs on decks over the creek. Brush and scrub oak cut back from the hillside houses before fire season, which matters here more than most places. And the ordinary stuff: a couch, a washer, the garage that is really a shed that is really a rock cellar.
Heavy things on hillsides
A cast-iron tub or a radiator down forty stairs is a quote of its own, by weight and crew, and sometimes the answer is three people instead of two. Say what it is when you call and the crew comes ready. A hot tub on a hillside deck is cut into sections where it sits, like anywhere else, and the sections make the trip one at a time.
The calls we get from Manitou Springs
Stairs and no driveway
The route from the door to the truck is checked first and priced honestly. Hand-carry when the dolly can't go.
Old-house estates
Pre-war houses full of heavy, old furniture, cleared room by room with the family, usable pieces routed to donation where possible.
Brush and hillside mitigation
Scrub oak and dead material cut back from houses on the slopes, hauled with the stored lumber that goes at the same time.

Questions from Manitou Springs
Can you get a truck to my house?
Maybe not to the door. The crew finds the nearest legal spot, checks the carry and prices it. Most Manitou jobs are done this way.
Is there a stair charge?
There's a carry in the price. We'd rather say so up front than surprise you at the truck.
Can you take a cast-iron tub?
Yes, quoted on sight by weight and crew. Sometimes it comes out in pieces.
Do you do brush clearing up here?
We haul the pile the arborist or you cut. We don't cut standing trees.
Parking is impossible on my street. What then?
Tell us the street and we plan the time of day. Early mornings work best in summer when the tourist traffic hasn't started.
