Hartford County's Cleanout, Junk Removal, and Remodeling Experts

A junk removal service is a crew that comes to your home or business, loads the things you no longer want onto a truck, and hauls them away. You do not lift or sort anything. TJ's takes furniture, appliances, yard waste, construction debris and full cleanouts, then donates or recycles items where possible and disposes of the rest responsibly.

Junk removal works in three steps: you book a two-hour arrival window, the crew gives you a firm price on-site, and once you approve it they load, haul and sweep up. The estimate is free with no obligation, and you pay only after the job is done.

Junk removal is priced by how much of the truck your items fill, with a firm price given on-site before anything is lifted. There are two published rate cards. Ordinary household loads price by volume: the fraction of the truck your pile fills, in thirteen steps from a minimum charge to a full load. Dense material like concrete, brick, soil, roofing and shingles prices by the bed, because weight fills a truck long before space does. A licensed contractor decides which card applies while standing in front of the job, and you approve that figure before anything is lifted.

Phones are answered 7am to 10pm, seven days a week, Sunday included. Book before 3pm and same-day is often possible; after that, the next day is guaranteed. Arrival slots are two-hour windows rather than an open-ended morning.

Yes. TJ's holds a full Connecticut demolition license alongside home improvement and new construction contractor licenses, so kitchens, bathrooms, garages, interiors and whole structures are taken down in-house and the debris leaves with the same crew. That is the difference between one booking and two.

Wet paint, solvents, pool chemicals, propane cylinders, motor oil and automotive fluids, and anything containing asbestos, which is licensed abatement work, though abatement is something we are separately licensed to arrange. Everything else you would expect from a house, a garage, a jobsite or a storefront is fair game.

The load price carries labor, the truck, the carrying and disposal. What sits outside it is material the facility charges for by the piece (tires, freon appliances, electronics, mattresses) and those rates are published on the pricing page so they land in the quote you approve, not in a conversation at the end.

Usable items are donated or recycled where possible, and the rest is disposed of responsibly. Loads get sorted after pickup. We look at what you have and decide where each item needs to go. Where possible, items are recycled or donated, and the rest is disposed of responsibly. Want something donated? Tell us and we will try to match it with a donation center. What a center accepts is up to them.
