Real estate in New York City is expensive. So while clutter is an eyesore, it’s also so much more than that. Every unused item takes up space. And you’re already paying a premium. Even having said that, when the whole place feels crowded at once, the idea of fixing it can make you freeze in place. The trick is to make the job small enough to where it never tips into being overwhelming ...
Moving is hard enough as it is. But it’s extra hard in New York City. Every building and street seems to have its own rules, and you can’t always count on easy access to an elevator big enough to move large items. Every city move has a dozen moving parts, most of which have nothing to do with packing a box. And it’s easy to forget those rules until they’re causing ...
Yes, though the list is short. A New York City junk removal company will take almost any non-hazardous household or commercial item, while hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, fuels, and propane tanks fall outside what a crew can legally haul. A rule of living: it’s easier to accumulate stuff than it is to get rid of it. This is true in the suburbs and the rural places of the country, too, but it’s ...
In most cases yes, but only on your collection day and within the city's rules. New York's sanitation department collects large household furniture as bulk trash, yet items with electronics or refrigerants need separate handling, and putting things out at the wrong time can earn you a fine. Surprising but true: you can leave furniture on the curb in New York City. There are just a lot of rules from the Department of ...
“Eco-friendly junk removal company” is an easy phrase to use, and a hard one to prove. It seems like every company operating in New York City claims to be eco-friendly, and it shows up on every website and truck wrap. But what does “green disposal” mean in practice? One common answer: recycling the obvious. Items like metal or cardboard are sent to a recycling center, and the rest—being the vast majority—is sent to ...
Getting rid of furniture in New York City is not exactly simple. You can’t drag it to the curb and walk away. NYC has specific rules of what can and can’t go on the sidewalk, as well as when it can go out and how it needs to be prepared. If you are unaware of the rules (or ignore them), you risk a fine from the Department of Sanitation. But if you follow ...
Yes, the Junkluggers of New York City provide same-day and next-day junk removal appointments across all five boroughs, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Sometimes, you need to clear up space quickly. And that’s not always easy to do, especially if you have a lot of items. It’s also frustrating that New York City isn’t exactly the kind of place where you can load up a pick-up truck and ...
Usually no, and if a company is charging you per item, you may be paying more than you need to. Most professional junk removal services price by volume. That means the cost is based on how much space your items take up on the truck rather than a flat rate per piece. This is how The Junkluggers of New York City handles pricing, and it usually works in the homeowner’s favor. You might be ...
It happens to every homeowner if you give them enough time. Once your garage is buried under old furniture or your basement becomes a "no-go zone" of boxes, you hit a breaking point. And it’s here that every Bronx homeowner has to make the call. Rent a dumpster and learn to love lifting, or call someone to make the mess disappear? Either way, unwanted items leave your property. But when you think about cost ...
It’s time. You’re ready to clear that clutter, and you’re not going to let anything get in your way. It happens to everyone, even in the tightly packed spaces of Manhattan. You might have an overstuffed closet that’s been collecting dust since your last apartment move. Or you might need to do a full-scale cleanout in advance of the next move. Whatever your reason may be, you’ve scheduled a junk ...
