The Silver City built more housing per square mile than nearly anywhere else we serve — street after street of two-families and pre-war colonials between the traprock ridges, with Hubbard Park and the Hanging Hills standing over the west side. When Meriden calls us, it's usually an investor or a landlord: turnover cleanouts, flip renovations, the occasional full-building clear-out when a long-held property finally trades. South Meriden adds a quieter single-family layer along the Quinnipiac.
From our West Haven yard the run is about 30 minutes up I-91 to I-691. Next-day delivery windows are the standard booking; morning calls sometimes catch a same-day opening on this corridor.
Landlord math: the rate card
10-yard — $447. 15-yard — $547. 20-yard — $647. 30/40 tier — $899, delivered as two 20-yard cans, either paired on a big job or one swapped for the next. Delivery, pickup, disposal, and 7 rental days are in every price; weight allowances run 1,000 / 2,000 / 4,000 / 6,000 lbs, with $0.10/lb past the mark. For a multi-building portfolio cleanout, the two-can tier splits across two addresses — one can at each property, one invoice.
Placement on Meriden's tighter blocks
Downtown-adjacent streets carry the usual dense-city constraints: short driveways, shared drives, on-street parking pressure. Our can is 22 feet long and 8 feet wide — about the length of a full-size pickup truck — and it needs that footprint plus roll-off room. Where a driveway won't work, a parking-lot corner often will; landlords with paved lots have the easiest placements in the city. Photo of a doubtful spot to (203) 219-8855 gets you a straight answer before delivery day.
The weight conversation, because Meriden housing is old
Pre-war housing means plaster walls, hardwood everywhere, cast-iron fixtures. Demo from these buildings weighs double what the same volume of modern drywall does. If you're gutting rather than just clearing, size for pounds: the 20-yard's 4,000-lb allowance is the safer bet than a 15 running the scale. We'll do the arithmetic with you when you book.
Small loads
A single-room cleanout that fits in a pickup doesn't need us — check what the city offers residents for disposal first. The can earns its keep from about a room-and-a-half of material up.

What customers in Meriden are saying
Y “Spectacular service, even during Covid! First, a human answered their phone immediately and was clear and courteous. How rare these days! I got an appointment for next day! As promised, received a call that crew was on its way. My mother gave me last minute permission to move a fridge, not part of original request. So I had to tell the poor guys upon arrival that there was a surprise fridge move, two in fact, one removed, one moved within house. Crew didn't flinch. Then one fridge move required its doors AND house door to come off, which they achieved with impressive skill. I'm a manager in my work life and can say their professionalism was superb. Also, important for environment, the company claims to recycle materials. A+ on every level.”
Y “Amazing experience! I would definitely hire them again! Every interaction with this company, from setting up the appointment with Justin, and then having to move it up, because my long distance home movers moved up their delivery day at the last minute, and to the appointment itself, has been a wonderful, and positive experience. When we had to change my delivery window at the last minute, Justin was incredibly helpful and accommodating. And the amazing movers, Eric and Mike, "Big Mike", were so wonderful, professional, helpful, kind, and did excellent work.”
Y “It's spring cleaning time! Who am I going to call? the same great company I called 3 times before...grizzly junk pros! I have found these guys to be experts in moving large bulky items. They are hard workers, honest, fair and extremely efficient. I won't take a chance on any other company because I know what to expect from this one. They've done my cellar, things inside the house and now will call them for cleaning out the attic. The areas I've called them for aren't easy to maneuver in...amazing how they adapt to the job at hand.”
