TOWER THEATRE & 23RD STREET CORRIDOR
Junk Removal in Uptown 23rd
Anthony's Reliable Junk Removal serves the shops, restaurants, and bungalow homes along the Uptown 23rd strip near the Tower Theatre and the Paseo Arts District. We clear out old restaurant fixtures, renovation debris, and household clutter without disrupting a dining room full of guests. Reach us at 405-566-9730 and we'll typically find room on the schedule within a day or two.
A REVITALIZED DINING CORRIDOR
Junk Removal Along a Walkable Strip
Uptown 23rd has turned into one of OKC's most walkable stretches, with restaurants, bars, and boutiques filling in old storefronts next to the restored Tower Theatre marquee. Many of these businesses operate out of buildings that have been renovated multiple times over the decades, and each renovation tends to leave something behind in a back room or basement that nobody's gotten around to removing.
We spend a lot of time clearing out restaurant backrooms here — broken patio furniture, old walk-in shelving, leftover build-out materials from a recent remodel. Because this strip draws heavy foot and car traffic most evenings, we try to schedule pickups for quieter mid-morning hours so our truck isn't competing for street parking with dinner guests.
Just off the main strip sit older bungalow neighborhoods whose residents often call us for garage cleanouts, estate situations, or getting a home ready to list. These houses were mostly built decades before 23rd Street became a dining destination, and many still have original garages, cellars, or additions that accumulate clutter over the years.
We also help the small boutiques and galleries near the Paseo transition between tenants, clearing display fixtures and leftover inventory so a new business can move in without starting from a mess. Whatever the job, we move efficiently so a cleanout doesn't eat into your open hours or the neighborhood's evening buzz.
Serving Both Sides of 23rd Street
Uptown 23rd is really two neighborhoods layered together: the commercial strip anchored by the Tower Theatre and its restaurants, and the quieter residential blocks of older bungalows that surround it. We work both regularly, and the jobs look nothing alike — one day it's hauling a broken walk-in cooler from a restaurant kitchen, the next it's clearing out a garage that hasn't been touched since the 1990s.
Street parking along the main corridor is limited and competitive, especially during evening dinner service, so we schedule commercial pickups for mornings whenever a business can accommodate it. This keeps customer parking open and avoids slowing down deliveries from other vendors working the same block.
For the bungalow homes near the Paseo, we often handle estate cleanouts, downsizing projects, and garage organization for long-time residents. These homes sometimes have narrow driveways or detached garages set back from the street, so we plan our approach before the crew starts carrying items.
Whether it's a restaurant renovation or a home cleanout, we price by how much space your items take up in the truck, giving you a clear number before anything gets loaded. We also try to route usable furniture and fixtures to donation centers that serve the surrounding community whenever we can.
How It Works
Our Simple Process
Describe the Job by Phone or Text
Call or text 405-566-9730 with details — a backroom full of old patio furniture, a bungalow garage, a shop transitioning tenants. A couple of photos help us quote accurately and bring the right size truck. We'll give you a fair estimate before we ever set a date.
Book a Quiet-Hours Window
Since 23rd Street gets busy most evenings, we usually schedule pickups for mid-morning or early afternoon when street parking is easier and foot traffic is lighter. If you're a bungalow homeowner off the main strip, we'll simply pick a time that fits your day without worrying about dinner crowds.
Walk Us Through, We Handle the Rest
Show our crew what needs to go, whether it's stacked storage in a restaurant basement or decades of accumulated items in a bungalow garage. We carry everything ourselves and confirm your total price before loading so you know exactly what you're paying.
Back to Business, Back to Normal
We sweep up after ourselves and get out quickly so your restaurant, shop, or home is ready to go right after we leave. Furniture and fixtures in decent shape get set aside for donation whenever possible, keeping as much as we can out of the landfill.
Why Anthony's
Why OKC Chooses Us
Timed Around Dinner Rush
We know 23rd Street gets crowded once the dinner crowd arrives. We schedule business pickups for quieter morning or early afternoon hours so our truck isn't competing for parking spots that restaurants need for their own guests, keeping the street moving smoothly for everyone.
Comfortable in Older Bungalow Homes
The residential blocks near the Paseo are full of houses built well before this corridor became a dining destination, often with narrow driveways, detached garages, or cellar storage. We've worked enough of these homes to know how to navigate tight spaces without causing damage.
Respect for a Walkable Neighborhood
This part of town thrives on foot traffic and a lively street atmosphere. We move quickly, keep noise down, and avoid blocking sidewalks or storefront entrances so a cleanout never disrupts the experience that makes Uptown 23rd worth visiting in the first place.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this is one of our most common jobs along 23rd Street.

Yes, we regularly work in the bungalow neighborhoods surrounding Uptown 23rd, including garage cleanouts, estate situations, and downsizing projects. These homes often have narrow driveways or detached garages, so we ask a few questions ahead of time to make sure we bring the right crew size and equipment.
It can be tight during evenings, which is why we usually schedule larger commercial pickups for mornings or early afternoons. If your business or home has off-street parking or alley access, let us know, since that often makes loading faster and avoids any issue with street congestion.
Yes, we help families handle estate cleanouts in the residential areas near Uptown 23rd, clearing furniture, belongings, and accumulated items from homes that have often been lived in for decades. We work at whatever pace is comfortable for the family and try to set aside items that could be donated.
We try to route usable furniture, fixtures, and equipment to donation partners rather than the landfill whenever the condition allows.
