Licensed & Insured, Family-Owned
SAME-DAY SERVICE AVAILABLE

The lease ends Saturday and there are three mattresses on the porch. TJ’s Cleanout Services handles junk removal, property cleanouts, and demolition throughout Middletown, from the Main Street blocks and the Wesleyan neighborhoods out to South Farms, Westfield, Long Hill, and the river properties in Maromas. We quote the whole job on-site before anything moves, clear it in one trip when we can, and sweep the space after. Licensed, insured, family-owned, seven days a week.
We price by the space your load takes in the truck, quoted on-site and approved by you before we start. That runs from a minimum charge for a few items up to a full truck load for a whole property, with most single-room and single-apartment jobs in the middle. There is no hourly clock, which is worth understanding in a town shaped like this one. A downtown three-story walk-up and a Maromas property with a two-hundred-foot carry to the driveway both take time. Neither one changes your price, because the number was fixed before we touched anything.
Middletown empties out in May. Off-campus houses around Wesleyan and the multi-family blocks near Main Street turn over on a compressed schedule, and what gets left behind is predictable: mattresses, futons, particleboard shelving, mini fridges, and a dozen bags nobody wanted to carry down.
We clear a unit in a single visit and can run back-to-back turnovers for landlords managing several properties at once. Middletown’s older downtown housing means narrow stairwells and shared entries, so we pad the turns and keep the common areas clear while we work. Our apartment cleanout service covers the full turnover, and booking early in the spring is genuinely worth doing, because the first half of May fills before the month starts.
We take furniture and appliances, electronics and e-waste, construction and demolition debris, yard waste including brush and stumps, hot tubs, mattresses, and tires. E-waste, mattresses, tires, and freon appliances carry an added recycling fee, which we name during the estimate rather than at the end.
We don’t take car batteries, propane tanks, vehicles, wet paint, motor oil, chemicals and solvents, asbestos, biohazard or medical waste, firearms, boats, or pianos. The rural end of Middletown is worth a specific note. Barns and outbuildings in Westfield and Maromas frequently hold old fuel cans, farm chemicals, and paint, all of which have to go to a household hazardous waste collection. Everything else in that barn, we’ll take.
Middletown has a lot of houses that stayed in one family for generations, particularly in South Farms and the Broad Street area. Clearing one is not a normal moving job, and we don’t treat it like one.
You don’t have to sort anything first. We take it all, set aside what can be donated, and work at whatever pace the family needs. If nobody wants to be in the house while it happens, that’s common, and plenty of families hand us a key instead. We coordinate with estate sale companies and realtors when a closing date is driving the calendar. Our estate cleanout service covers the property from attic to barn.
We’re licensed for structural demolition, so this is our own crew rather than a subcontractor. Shed and barn teardowns, deck removals, garage demolition, fence pulls, driveway breakouts, and interior gutouts all include the debris haul as part of the job.
That comes up more in Middletown than most towns because of the outbuildings. A collapsing barn on a Westfield property or a rotted deck on a river lot needs the structure down and the site cleared, not just a truckload taken away. We advise on permits and coordinate with the city where the scope calls for it.
We’re family-owned, based in Hartford County, and we work Middlesex County every week. A 5-star rating on Google across more than 270 reviews reflects how we run jobs: arrive inside the window, quote before we load, leave the space clean. Troy stays directly involved in the work.
Need junk removal in Middletown? TJ’s Cleanout Services gives you a firm price before anything moves. Free estimate, same-day often available. Licensed, insured, family-owned. Call or book online.
TJ’s serves Middletown seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, with same-day availability when slots are open. Our crews cover the whole city, downtown and Main Street, the Wesleyan neighborhoods, South Farms, Long Hill, Westfield, and the properties along the Connecticut River in Maromas, and most jobs finish in a single visit. You get a two-hour arrival window, a free on-site estimate, and final approval on the price before we begin.
Our general contracting license covers demolition, flooring, drywall, siding, painting, and kitchen and bath renovation for Middletown homeowners and landlords. When clearing a unit turns into rebuilding it, the same company handles both ends, from hauling out the old fixtures to finishing the new ones. One point of contact, one crew, free estimate for any scope.
Middletown is the largest town in Middlesex County and one of the most varied, running from dense Victorian blocks around Main Street and Wesleyan University out to the farmland of Westfield and the wooded, large-lot properties of Maromas along the Connecticut River. Student turnover, older multi-family housing downtown, and rural outbuildings on the eastern edge each produce a different kind of cleanout.

TESTIMONIALS
"Highly highly recommend TJs! I used them to help with some debris and junk removal that we had been putting off and they were super professional, incredibly helpful, and non-judgmental. They were affordable and saved us the hassle of renting a dumpster and having to haul stuff ourselves."
"The team that came to help clean out our garage and get rid of some big items in the yard was fantastic. The estimate they gave me at the beginning was exactly what I ended up paying. The guys were very fast and got everything out in about 30 minutes."
"I reached out to TJ's because they were independently owned and had excellent reviews. I had become overwhelmed by the garage and basement. In 2 hours the areas were cleared and cleaned. The staff were respectful, professional, and non-judgmental. I highly recommend them."
"The crew at TJ's was very friendly and efficient. They were on time and removed our hot tub with ease and didn't have any issues at all. I appreciated the way they thoroughly cleaned up. Would highly recommend."
"TJ's was a joy to work with. The whole process was easy, pricing was transparent and fair, and everyone from the company was very kind and agreeable. They did a fantastic job, showed up promptly on time and were happy to even pick up a few extra things we found while they were there."
"TJ's did an excellent job of removing a bunch of old furniture. Great crew! Arrived as scheduled!"
Pricing is based on volume: the amount of space your items take in our truck. You get an exact quote on-site before we start. No disposal surcharges, no fuel fees, no surprises.

We quote on-site, in writing, before anything moves. Pricing scales from a minimum charge for a few pieces up to a full truck load for a whole-property clearing, with a typical apartment or basement job in between. Middletown's mix matters here: a downtown student apartment and a Maromas barn are very different loads, so we look at the property rather than pricing from a description. No hourly billing and no charges added at the end.
Yes, and May is our busiest stretch in Middletown. Off-campus houses around Wesleyan empty out fast and leave behind mattresses, futons, mini fridges, particleboard furniture, and whatever didn't fit in the car. We clear a unit in one visit and work with landlords on back-to-back turnovers so the next lease starts clean. Book early for the first two weeks of May, since those slots fill. Call (860) 503-9062 to get on the schedule.
We haul furniture, appliances, electronics, construction and demolition debris, yard waste including brush and stumps, hot tubs, mattresses, and tires. Tires, mattresses, e-waste, and freon appliances carry a recycling fee. We can't take car batteries, wet paint, motor oil, propane tanks, chemicals, asbestos, biohazard or medical waste, firearms, boats, vehicles, or pianos. Rural Middletown properties often have old fuel cans and farm chemicals in the barn, which need a household hazardous waste drop-off instead.
Yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are often open across Middletown, from downtown and the Wesleyan area out to Westfield, Long Hill, and South Farms. Call and we can usually confirm a crew that day. We serve Middletown and the rest of Middlesex County seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, with a two-hour arrival window. Call (860) 503-9062 or book online.
We're a family-owned company working out of Hartford County with a 5-star rating on Google across more than 270 reviews. The mechanism is our pricing: a firm number quoted on-site before anything is loaded, never hourly, so a third-floor Main Street walk-up costs you nothing extra in time. We're licensed and insured, and we're a licensed general contractor as well, so demolition and the debris haul are one crew and one price.
