Reclaim Your Space Without the Hassle

You’ve got better things to do than wrestle with that old couch or figure out where to dump construction debris. When junk starts taking over your garage, basement, or yard, it’s not just about the mess—it’s about getting your life back.

That’s where professional junk removal makes sense. You point to what needs to go, and it disappears. No rental trucks, no multiple trips to the dump, no throwing out your back trying to move a refrigerator down narrow stairs.

Your space gets cleared, properly cleaned up, and you get back to what matters. Whether it’s preparing for a move, cleaning out an estate, or just finally tackling that cluttered room, the right junk removal service turns a weekend nightmare into a two-hour solution.

Junk Removal Process

Simple Process, Real Results

Here’s how it works: You call or text us with details about what needs to go. We give you an upfront estimate over the phone for most jobs, or schedule a quick on-site assessment for larger projects.

When we arrive, you show us what needs removal. We confirm the price, load everything onto our truck, and clean up the area. No hidden fees, no surprises, no mess left behind.

The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the scope. We handle all the heavy lifting, navigation through tight spaces, and proper disposal. You just need to be available to let us in and point out what goes.

We sort items for donation when possible and dispose of everything else according to local regulations. By the time we leave, it’s like that junk was never there.

We bring the right equipment for the job: dollies, straps, protective materials, and a properly sized truck. Our team knows how to navigate narrow hallways, tight staircases, and delicate flooring without causing damage.

How much does junk removal cost in Shelter Island?

Pricing depends on volume and type of items, but most residential jobs range from $150-$800. We price based on how much space your junk takes up in our truck, not by individual items. Furniture removal typically runs $200-$400 for a few pieces, while full basement or garage cleanouts can be $400-$800. We provide upfront estimates over the phone for most jobs, so you know the cost before we start. No hidden fees for stairs, loading, or disposal—the price we quote is what you pay.

Do you remove furniture and appliances the same day?

Yes, we offer same-day service when our schedule allows, and we can usually accommodate next-day requests. For Shelter Island, we coordinate with ferry schedules to ensure efficient service. Large appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dryers are no problem—we have the equipment and experience to remove them safely. We handle everything from single couch removal to complete furniture sets. Just call us in the morning, and there’s a good chance we can have your items gone by afternoon.

What can't you take for junk removal?

We can’t take hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, asbestos, or medical waste. Tires, propane tanks, and certain electronics require special handling, but we can often refer you to proper disposal locations. Most household items, furniture, appliances, construction debris, and yard waste are fine. When in doubt, just ask—we’ll tell you straight up what we can and can’t handle. For items we can’t take, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives when possible.

Will you donate items that are still in good condition?

Absolutely. We separate items that are suitable for donation and deliver them to local charities and thrift stores. This includes furniture in decent condition, working appliances, clothing, books, and household goods. We can’t guarantee everything will be accepted by donation centers, but we make the effort when items have life left in them. This approach keeps usable items out of landfills and helps the community. Just let us know if you have specific items you’d like us to try donating.

Do I need to be home during the junk removal?

You need to be present at the start to show us what needs removal and approve the final price, but you don’t have to supervise the entire job. Many customers point out the items, confirm the estimate, then go about their day while we work. We’ll let you know when we’re finished so you can see the completed work. For security and liability reasons, we do need someone over 18 present on the property, but it doesn’t have to be constant supervision once we get started.

How quickly can you schedule junk removal service?

Most jobs can be scheduled within 24-48 hours, and we often have same-day availability for urgent situations. For Shelter Island, we plan our routes around ferry schedules to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. Estate cleanouts or large projects might need a few days’ notice to ensure we have adequate time and crew. Emergency situations—like storm cleanup or urgent move-out deadlines—get priority scheduling. The best approach is to call as soon as you know you need service, and we’ll work with your timeline.
