JUNK REMOVAL SERVICES
WE OFFER

Every Service We Offer

Below is a full breakdown of the junk removal services we offer, organized by category. Each service links to a dedicated page with pricing factors, process details, and photos of the type of work involved. If you don't see your exact situation listed, call us anyway — most jobs are some combination of the categories below, and we're used to sorting through the odd ones.

Single-Item Pickups

Not every job is a full cleanout. Sometimes it's one heavy, awkward object that won't fit in a car and isn't worth renting a truck for. These are our most requested single-item services:

• Furniture Removal — sofas, dressers, bed frames, tables, bookshelves, and anything else too bulky for curbside trash pickup.
• Couch Removal — sectionals, sleeper sofas, and loveseats, including pieces too heavy or awkward for one or two people to carry down stairs.
• Mattress Removal — mattresses and box springs of any size, disposed of or recycled in line with New York state mattress recycling guidelines.
• Appliance Removal — refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and stoves, handled with attention to Freon recovery and proper recycling.
• Hot Tub Removal — draining, disassembly, and haul-away for spas and hot tubs, including units tucked into decks or behind fences.
• Piano Removal — upright and grand pianos moved out safely, with the manpower and equipment these unusually heavy items require.
• Electronics Removal — TVs, computers, printers, and other e-waste, recycled through certified electronics recyclers instead of landfilled.

Cleanout Services

Cleanouts are our bread and butter. Whether it's one room or an entire house, cleanouts involve clearing everything from a space — furniture, boxes, trash, and whatever's been forgotten in the corners — usually on a deadline tied to a closing date, a lease, or a family situation.

• Garage Cleanout — reclaim a garage buried under years of tools, boxes, and things that "might be useful someday."
• Estate Cleanout — respectful, thorough clearing of a loved one's home, handled with the sensitivity these jobs require.
• Attic Cleanout — tight spaces, low clearance, and years of accumulated storage cleared out safely.
• Basement Cleanout — from finished basements to damp storage areas, including old furniture and water-damaged items.
• Office Cleanout — desks, cubicles, filing cabinets, and electronics cleared during a move, downsizing, or closure.
• Storage Unit Cleanout — full unit clear-outs, often on a tight deadline tied to a rental agreement.
• Foreclosure Cleanout — fast, complete clearing of bank-owned or foreclosed properties to get them market-ready.
• Eviction Cleanout — left-behind belongings removed quickly so landlords can re-list a unit without delay.
• Property Cleanout — whole-property clearing for real estate transactions, inherited homes, or general resets.
• Hoarder Cleanout — a discreet, judgment-free approach to severely cluttered homes, done at whatever pace the situation calls for.

Commercial & Property Services

Businesses generate junk on a different scale and schedule than homeowners — often with downtime, safety, and turnaround deadlines attached. These services are built around commercial timelines.

• Commercial Junk Removal — ongoing or one-time removal for offices, retail spaces, and other businesses.
• Warehouse Cleanout — large-scale clearing of pallets, shelving, old inventory, and equipment.
• Construction Debris Removal — drywall, lumber, flooring, and other renovation or demo waste hauled off job sites.

Yard & Outdoor Services

• Yard Waste Removal — leaves, branches, old mulch, and general outdoor cleanup debris.
• Brush Removal — overgrown brush, cut limbs, and vegetation cleared from a property.
• Shed Demolition — teardown and haul-away of old, damaged, or unwanted backyard sheds.

Demolition & Debris

• Light Demolition — interior demo, small structures, and selective teardown work that doesn't require heavy machinery permits.
• Dumpster Alternative — full-service junk removal for people who don't want the hassle, cost, or permit process of a rented dumpster.

Recycling & Responsible Disposal

We don't send everything straight to a landfill. Our Recycling service covers how we sort, donate, and recycle materials whenever possible, from metal and electronics to gently used furniture that still has life left in it.

How Our Junk Removal Process Works

Regardless of which service you need, the process is the same. You call or book online and describe what needs to go — a photo helps but isn't required. We give you an upfront price based on how much space your items take up in our truck, not a vague hourly estimate that can balloon once we're on site. On the scheduled day, our crew arrives, does all the lifting and hauling, sweeps up afterward, and leaves the space clean. You don't rent equipment, load a truck, or make a dump run yourself.

Pricing is based primarily on volume: a single couch costs far less than a full garage cleanout, and a small office declutter costs far less than a warehouse clear-out. We provide a firm quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises when the job's done.

Why Long Island Chooses Greene Group Construction

We're a local, licensed, and insured crew — not a national franchise dispatching subcontractors. That matters for jobs like estate cleanouts and hoarder cleanouts, where trust and discretion count as much as muscle. It also matters for time-sensitive work like foreclosure and eviction cleanouts, where a missed deadline has real consequences for a landlord or agent. Same-day and next-day appointments are available across Nassau and Suffolk counties, and every job includes responsible disposal, with usable items donated or recycled instead of dumped whenever possible.

What Makes a Junk Removal Job "Easy" vs. "Complicated"

Not all junk is created equal, and pricing reflects that. A bag of clothes and a broken lamp at the curb is easy. A refrigerator on the second floor of a walk-up, a hot tub wedged behind a fence, or a piano at the bottom of a narrow staircase is not. Weight, access, stairs, and disassembly all factor into how a job is priced and how long it takes. Part of the reason we break our services into specific categories — rather than one generic "junk removal" page — is so you can see upfront what's involved in your particular situation instead of getting a surprise once the crew arrives.

Cleanouts add another layer of complexity because they're rarely just about volume. An estate cleanout often involves sorting through items a family wants to keep, donate, or sell before anything gets hauled away. A hoarder cleanout may require multiple visits and a slower pace out of respect for the homeowner. A foreclosure cleanout or eviction cleanout, on the other hand, usually needs to happen fast, with minimal back-and-forth, so the property can be re-listed or re-rented. We staff and schedule each type of job differently because they're genuinely different problems, even though the end result — an empty, clean space — looks the same.

Serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties

Our trucks run routes across both Nassau and Suffolk counties, which lets us offer same-day and next-day scheduling for most of the services listed on this page. Whether you're in a dense neighborhood with tight driveways and street parking restrictions, or a property further east with more space but a longer drive for us to reach, our crews are familiar with the logistics of Long Island properties — narrow staircases, shared driveways, HOA rules about dumpsters, and everything in between. That local familiarity is a big part of why homeowners, landlords, real estate agents, and contractors call us instead of a national chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be present for the pickup?
No, as long as we have clear instructions on what's being removed and access to the property, such as a garage code or a key left with a neighbor. Many landlords and agents schedule cleanouts without being on site.

What items won't you take?
We handle the vast majority of household and commercial junk. Certain hazardous materials, like paint, chemicals, and asbestos-containing materials, require special handling and aren't included in standard junk removal — ask us and we'll point you toward the right disposal option.

How is pricing determined?
Primarily by how much space your items take up in our truck, plus factors like stairs, distance to the truck, and any disassembly required. We give a firm quote before starting, not a rough estimate that changes once we're on site.

Can you handle same-day requests?
Often, yes. Availability depends on our schedule that day and the size of the job, but same-day and next-day appointments are common for single-item pickups and smaller cleanouts.

What happens to the items after pickup?
Usable furniture and household goods are donated where possible, metal and electronics are recycled, and everything else is disposed of properly. See our recycling page for more detail on how we sort materials.
