A 5-Star Junk Removal Company Putnam, Westchester & Dutchess County NY Loves
Everything You Want to Know, Before You Book
Clearing out a property or planning a demo is a big step, and every customer deserves honest, clear answers before they book. Below are the questions J&S Junk & Demo is asked most often by homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Putnam, Westchester, and Dutchess County — answered directly by our family-owned team.
What services does J&S Junk & Demo offer?
J&S Junk & Demo is a family-owned company offering full-service junk removal and light demolition for both residential and commercial customers. Our most popular services include estate and house cleanouts, construction debris removal, garage, basement, and attic cleanouts, hot tub and shed removal, and commercial office and retail cleanouts. We also handle furniture and appliance removal and selective interior demolition — kitchen and bath demo, plus deck demolition. From a single-item pickup to a full property cleanout or a demo project, we tailor the work to your needs and schedule.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. J&S Junk & Demo is licensed and fully insured for every job we take on. Hauling heavy items and performing demolition involves real risk, so carrying full coverage protects you, your property, and our crew. If you'd ever like to see proof of insurance before booking, just ask and we'll share documentation right away.
What items will you take — and is there anything you won't?
We haul almost everything: furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, household clutter, yard debris, construction and renovation debris, hot tubs, sheds, and full estate or property cleanouts. Because we dispose of materials responsibly, there are a few items that need special handling — things like hazardous chemicals, wet paint, and certain fluids. If you're not sure about a specific item, just ask when you call and we'll tell you straight. In most cases, if you can pile it, we can haul it.
How fast can you come out?
We pride ourselves on quick response times, and same-day or next-day pickups are often available depending on your location and the size of the job. When you reach out, tell us what you need gone and where you're located, and we'll get you on the schedule as fast as possible. For larger cleanouts and demo projects, we'll set a time that works around your timeline.
Do I need to move everything out or sort it first?
Not at all — that's the whole point of hiring us. You don't need to drag anything to the curb or pre-sort a thing. Just point to what needs to go and our crew does all the heavy lifting, loading, and hauling, then sweeps up the space before we leave. Whether it's one heavy appliance in the basement or a whole house packed top to bottom, you can kick back and relax while we handle it.
How much does junk removal or demo cost?
Pricing depends on the job — for junk removal, it's typically based on the volume hauled and the labor involved; for demolition, it depends on the scope of the teardown and disposal. J&S believes in complete pricing transparency, so we provide free, no-obligation, up-front quotes before any work begins. No hidden fees and no surprises. Send us a few details or photos and we'll put together a clear, honest quote for your specific project.
What areas do you serve?
Our primary service areas are Putnam County and Westchester County, NY, with Dutchess County as a secondary service area. We're based in Mahopac and serve homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses throughout the region and surrounding areas. If you're nearby and not sure whether you're in our service area, give us a call and we'll let you know right away.
Are there any items that you are not allowed to haul away?
Yes. Prohibited items include:
Hazardous Materials
Liquids or Chemicals
Batteries (or anything containing batteries)
Combustible Items (Example: Propane Tanks)
Asbestos
Medical Waste
Oil, Gasoline (or any other petroleum products)

Firearms & Ammunition
