Junk Removal in Queens
Queens is the borough where no two jobs are the same.
A garage in Bayside with a driveway the truck can back into. A two-family in Ridgewood turning over between tenants. A fourth-floor walk-up in Astoria. A high-rise in Long Island City where the managing agent wants paperwork before anyone touches the freight elevator. A basement in Ozone Park that took water and has been shut since.
We do all of it, seven days a week, and we're a junk removal and demolition company — so the shed, the deck and the old kitchen come out on the same truck as everything else.
Queens also borders our base in Lynbrook, which makes it the fastest borough we cover.
Queens is every kind of job - a Bayside garage, a two-family turnover in Ridgewood, a walk-up in Astoria, a flooded basement in Ozone Park. Trash, garbage, rubbish, construction debris: same truck. We're a demolition company as well as a hauler, and Queens borders our base, so same-day is usually available.
How much does junk removal cost in Queens?
You pay for the space it takes up in the truck, from a one-eighth-truck minimum. That covers everything — two people, the lifting, the carry-out, the truck, the disposal fees and the sweep-up. No separate labour charge, no fuel surcharge, no travel fee from Astoria to Far Rockaway.
Volume sets the price. Weight only matters on heavy material — concrete, soil, tile, plaster, roofing — which we quote upfront rather than adding to the bill afterwards.
Text a photo to (833) 586-5863 and we'll price it from the picture, usually within minutes.
Queens houses load faster than almost anywhere in the city, and that helps. A driveway or a curb cut means the truck parks at the job instead of two streets away, and a cleanout that takes a full day in Manhattan is often a morning here.

We price it back
A real number, not a range, usually within minutes. No appointment.
It's gone
Same-day most days. We lift, load, sweep up and recycle what we can.
What happens to everything you haul away?
Between 60 and 80 per cent of every load is recycled, donated or repurposed rather than landfilled. Furniture and appliances in usable condition go to local charities, metal goes to scrap, electronics go to an e-waste processor, and clean wood and building material is separated out. Only what genuinely can't be recovered goes to a transfer station.
We've been doing this since 2018 and have cleared over 500 jobs across the five boroughs and Long Island.
What kind of Queens job is yours?
Worth knowing before you book, because the answer changes what we bring.
The house with a driveway
Bayside, Whitestone, Douglaston, Howard Beach, Middle Village, Maspeth. Garage, basement, attic, side yard. The truck parks at the house, the crew works straight through, and most single garages or basements clear in a couple of hours.
The two-family turnover
This is the Queens job nobody else writes about. A tenant moves out of the downstairs unit or the basement apartment, and what's left is not one room's worth — it's furniture, appliances, a decade of storage and often building material from work that was never finished.
We clear the unit, take the appliances, and if the landlord needs a partial demolition — old cabinets, a bathroom, panelling, a dropped ceiling — the demo crew and the haul are the same visit and the same bill. Turnaround matters when the unit is losing rent every week it sits.
The walk-up apartment
Astoria, Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Woodside. Pre-war, four to six storeys, often no elevator. That's a normal job — the carry-down is what the crew is for, and it's priced from the photo rather than discovered halfway down the stairs.
The elevator building
Long Island City, downtown Flushing, Forest Hills co-ops. Most buildings with a managing agent require a certificate of insurance naming the building before a crew can use the service elevator, and the elevator has to be booked, usually to weekday hours.
We carry the certificate and send it to your management company before the job rather than arguing about it in the lobby. Send us the building's requirements when you book.
Do you take construction and renovation debris?
Yes — and this is where most haulers stop and most Queens jobs start.
Once a contractor has been involved, the City does not collect the debris. That is the City's own instruction, not our sales line: the work isn't picked up, and a private hauler has to take it. Genuine do-it-yourself material is different and can go out under the ordinary bulk rules.
We're a licensed, insured demolition and construction company, so this is normal work rather than an exception:
- Kitchen and bathroom gut-outs, cabinets, tile, fixtures
- Drywall, plaster, panelling, dropped ceilings, framing lumber
- Roofing tear-off, siding, decking, fencing
- Concrete, patio slabs and walkways — quoted upfront, because weight is the real cost there
- Sheds, garages, above-ground pools and hot tubs, taken down and hauled in the same visit
One crew, one visit, one bill. You don't book a demolition contractor for Tuesday and a hauler for Thursday.
Asbestos is the exception, everywhere. If you suspect it — and there's plenty of pre-war housing in Queens — stop and have it tested before anyone disturbs it. We'll tell you the same thing on the phone.
Basements, storms and water damage
Queens basements flood, and what comes out afterwards isn't ordinary trash.
Soaked carpet and padding, particle-board furniture that has swelled and won't dry, boxes that have gone through, insulation, mattresses, and often the contents of a finished basement that can't be saved. It's heavy, it's unpleasant, and it usually needs to be gone before anything can be dried out or rebuilt.
We clear the whole basement in one visit, take the wet material away, and can strip out ruined panelling, flooring, ceiling and framing if it needs to come back to the studs.
If there's mould, say so when you book — we'll tell you honestly whether it's a job for us or for a remediation contractor first. We'd rather send you to the right people than take a job we shouldn't.
What the City takes, and what it won't
Free at the kerb
- Couches, dressers, tables, bed frames
- Up to six large items per collection day
- Mattresses, sealed in a plastic bag first
- Genuine do-it-yourself renovation material
Trash day, not recycling day. An unwrapped mattress can cost you a $300 fine.
That's the truck
- Anything a contractor generated
- Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners
- TVs, monitors and computers
- A basement, a garage or a whole unit
All of it leaves on the same truck. Nothing needs a separate appointment.
Some of it doesn't need us. Sanitation collects large household items at the kerb free, up to six large items per collection day — put them out on a trash day, not a recycling day. Mattresses have to be sealed in a plastic bag first; the City enforces it, and an unwrapped one can cost you a fine of up to $300.
What the City won't take, and we will:
Contractor debris, as above. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers, which contain refrigerant and need handling before disposal — ours go to a licensed processor. Electronics, which are banned from New York City's regular trash outright: no TVs, monitors or computers at the kerb. Ours go to an e-waste recycler.
None of it needs a separate appointment. It leaves on the same truck.
How fast can you get to Queens?
Fastest of the five boroughs, because Queens borders Lynbrook and our trucks are through it all day. Book before noon and there's usually a same-day window that afternoon. Seven days a week, weekends at no extra charge.
Elevator buildings are the one exception, and not because of us — if the building only allows freight elevator use on weekdays, that's the window we work in.

Why Queens jobs are different
Driveway advantage
Most Queens homes have a driveway or curb cut - which means the truck parks close, loads fast, and bigger cleanouts finish quicker. Garages and basements are our favorite kind of job.
Whole-house country
Two-family homes, finished basements, attic storage: when a Queens house turns over, there's decades of stuff. Estate and moving cleanouts here usually finish in one day, donation-sorted.
Close to home base
Queens borders our Lynbrook HQ, so trucks pass through constantly. Booking before noon almost always lands a same-day window.
