What the scorecards measure

Each card draws on public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated the business, compared with other junk haulers in Queens. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently reviews are still arriving. Nobody can pay to change these numbers.

What drives junk removal pricing in Queens

Haulers usually price by how much space your load fills in the truck, plus extras such as heavy items, stairs and anything needing special disposal. Prices depend on the job, so ask for a written estimate. LoadUp’s site advertises instant online quotes and Cleanout Express offers free estimates, which is the fastest way to get a real number for your load.

Each card has a phone number so you can ask who can reach your block today.

Questions to settle before the crew arrives

  • Is the price quoted by the truck load, by item, or after an in-person look?
  • Will the crew carry items down stairs, and is that included?
  • Can you take a piano, hot tub or other awkward item, and with what equipment?
  • Do you donate or recycle usable pieces, or is everything hauled to disposal?
  • Will you sweep up when the job is done?
  • Does the estimate cover the whole job if I find extra items?

Frequently asked questions

Can Queens junk haulers take furniture out of walk-up buildings?

Reviews say yes. One LoadUp customer had two heavy pieces taken down four flights of stairs, and a Junkluggers customer cleared several pieces from a five-story walk-up in Astoria. Mention the floor and any elevator when you book so the crew comes prepared.

Which of these services handle hoarder or estate cleanouts?

The Junkluggers of Queens lists estate cleanouts and help for hoarders on its site, Cleanout Express lists hoarding cleanouts, and NYC Strong lists a hoarder clean-out service. Ask about timing, since large jobs may take more than one visit.

Do any of them donate usable items?

LoadUp’s site highlights donation pickup and Junkluggers reviewers mention donation of usable items as a plus. One Ant’s customer on a large whole-house clear-out expected some pieces to be donated and said the crew ran out of time, so confirm donation in advance.

Will a Queens junk hauler travel beyond the borough?

Ant’s Junk Removal’s site lists Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island and Yonkers. Cleanout Express says it serves Long Island, Westchester and Nassau County as well as the boroughs. Distance can change the quote, so give your full address.

Picking a hauler

LoadUp is the easy default for standard furniture and appliance loads, while Cleanout Express and The Junkluggers of Queens suit bigger cleanouts. For a simple job where you want the person who quotes to be on the job, Ant’s and NYC Strong both hold 5.0. Whichever you call, describe the stairs and the heaviest piece before getting a price.
