Junk removal and movers in Stamford, CT
Stamford is about 20 minutes down I-95 from our Norwalk shop, and the work here is different from most of Fairfield County. A lot of it is in apartment towers downtown and at Harbor Point, where the elevator schedule runs the day. Then there are houses in Shippan, Glenbrook, and North Stamford with full attics and garages. We do local moves, junk removal, debris hauling, furniture assembly, and barrel pickup, and the price is set upfront.
Homes and buildings in Stamford
Downtown and Harbor Point are mostly newer towers with loading docks, freight elevators, and management offices that book move times in blocks. The West Side, the East Side, and the Cove have older two- and three-family houses with porches, steep inside stairs, and parking on the street. Glenbrook and Springdale mix those with small single-family homes near their train stations. North Stamford is wooded, with bigger houses on large lots and long driveways that can be tight for a truck. Shippan has waterfront homes where the basements and garages tend to fill up over the years.
Junk removal in Stamford
Regular city garbage collection does not include bulky items. Residents with a dump permit can bring up to 200 pounds a day free to the Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center at 130 Magee Avenue, open Tuesday through Saturday. Pickup trucks, rental trucks, trailers, and heavier loads have to go to the Scale House on Harbor View Avenue, where weight over the limit is charged. Sheetrock is not accepted. The city also holds collection days at Scofieldtown Yard on Rock Rimmon Road a few times a year. If you have more than a carload, or no truck, we do the loading and the trip.
Moving in and out of Stamford
In the towers, the building usually decides when you move. Book the elevator first, then call us with the date and the window. Many management offices ask movers for a certificate of insurance, so get their requirements in writing and send them over when you book. Plenty of Stamford moves are short hops, like a downtown rental to a house in Springdale, or a family leaving North Stamford for something smaller. Moves between Stamford and the Bronx or Westchester are common too, since the commute runs both ways.

Stamford questions
My building only gives me a short elevator reservation. How do you handle that?
Tell us the exact window when you call. We plan the crew size and the loading order around it, so the truck is at the dock and ready when your time starts. Having boxes packed and closed before we arrive helps a lot. If beds or desks need to come apart, we take them apart and can put them back together at the new place.
Is it cheaper to bring my junk to the Magee Avenue recycling center myself?
For a few bags or a small piece that fits in your car, probably yes, since residents with a permit can drop off up to 200 pounds a day free. Pickup trucks, rentals, and bigger loads go through the Scale House and pay by weight. For a full room, a storage unit, or a garage, it usually makes more sense to have us load and haul it.
Do you pick up shipping barrels in Stamford?
We do. We pick up packed barrels from your home or apartment in Stamford and deliver them to the shipping station you are using. Let us know how many barrels you have, the pickup address, what floor they are on, and which station they are going to. We will give you an upfront price for the pickup and delivery.
