Junk removal by Grizzly Junk Pros

Junk removal in Manchester is a crew job: we bring a 20-yard truck and two people, you point at what goes, and the price is confirmed before anything is loaded. Manchester runs from a nineteenth-century mill village to newer suburban build-out. That shapes what a typical Manchester dispatch looks like more than anything else does — the sizes we send, the number of visits, and whether a can on the driveway makes more sense than a second truck run. Everything below is the detail: the tiers, what we take, what we don't, and where Manchester's own municipal disposal options sit if you'd rather haul it yourself.

What Manchester jobs tend to look like

The Cheney Brothers historic district is the old silk-mill village: tight blocks, short and narrow driveways, and older houses where the stopping spot for the truck matters as much as the volume. Buckland Hills, Verplanck and Highland Park are newer or mid-size suburban stock with driveway depth, so the truck parks close and a garage or basement clear moves quickly. North Manchester is mid-century housing. Bowers and the Lake Street area are older and mid-size lots with mixed driveways. Manchester Center / downtown is older mixed-use, where access changes block by block.

What arrives

A 20 cubic yard truck and a two-man crew. The industry standard is 15 to 17 yards; ours is bigger, which matters in a way that sounds like marketing until you're on the third trip with somebody else's truck. More capacity per visit means fewer visits, and fewer visits is where the cost actually comes down on a large job. You point; we carry. Nobody expects you to help lift anything.

How fast we get to Manchester

Next-day is standard; same-day is occasional, on an early call when a truck has room.

Manchester is a long run from our West Haven yard, so we book it honestly: next-day as the default, and a same-day slot only when an early call meets a truck with room, which is rare outside the closer towns along I-91. Either way you get a real arrival window at booking, not a callback. Hartford County dispatch runs Mon–Sat 8 AM – 4 PM.

Common Manchester junk removal calls

Cheney district tight-block clears

Short, narrow driveways on the old mill-village blocks. We work out where the truck stops before we plan the carry.

Buckland Hills and Verplanck garage and basement clears

Newer stock with room to park close, so the job is mostly a volume question.

Downtown mixed-use clear-outs

Older mixed-use buildings in Manchester Center, where parking and access change from one block to the next.

The ladder

  • $179 minimum — a single mattress, an old appliance, a small pile of junk by the curb
  • $359 — quarter truck — typical garage cleanout or partial basement
  • $559 — half truck — apartment-sized cleanout, single-room renovation debris
  • $809 — three-quarter truck — single-family decluttering, large estate room
  • $979 — full 20-yard truck — full-property cleanouts, whole-home work

Thirteen tiers in total, $179 at the bottom for a single item through $979 for the whole 20-yard body. Truck space is the unit — not weight, not item count, not hours. The crew reads the tier off the load before the truck leaves, and it's confirmed with you on site rather than mailed afterwards.

The full 13-tier ladder — Manchester

When loading the dumpster yourself isn’t the right call — small volume, awkward access, or you just want it gone today — we send a crew. Pricing runs by truck space used, not by item. Final pricing confirmed before removal begins.

  • Minimum Load$179
  • 1/8 Truckload$239
  • 1/6 Truckload$309
  • 1/4 Truckload (~5 yd³)$359
  • 1/3 Truckload$419
  • 3/8 Truckload$489
  • 1/2 Truckload (~10 yd³)$559
  • 5/8 Truckload$659
  • 2/3 Truckload$759
  • 3/4 Truckload (~15 yd³)$809
  • 5/6 Truckload$849

What our customers say

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • Something to take down first?

    Decks, sheds, hot tubs, fences and above-ground pools we take down ourselves and haul the same visit. Interior and structural demolition is coordinated through our licensed demolition partner — the debris still goes out in our dumpsters.

Demo work in Manchester

Junk removal and demolition go together. About a third of our dispatches involve something coming apart before the haul — an old deck that needs to come down before the lumber gets loaded, a backyard shed that's done its time, a hot tub nobody has filled in years. Those we take down ourselves and haul the same visit: one crew, one invoice.

Interior and structural work — gutting a kitchen, stripping a basement, taking down anything that opens up the house — runs through our licensed demolition partner instead. They do the demolition, we supply the dumpsters and clear every load. Both halves get quoted separately from the junk tiers, because scope drives them far more than volume does.

Junk removal FAQs — Manchester

Can your truck get into the Cheney Brothers historic district?
Usually, but those blocks are tight and the driveways are short and narrow, so we settle where the truck stops before the crew starts carrying. A photo of the driveway taken from the street lets us confirm it before the day.
Is a newer Buckland Hills house a quicker job?
Often, because access is easy: the truck parks close and there's less stair work. Volume is what sets the tier, though, and a newer house with a big garage and a finished basement can fill a truck as fast as an old one.
When is the Manchester transfer station open?
The town posts (as published September 2026): Transfer Station: Closed Monday; Tuesday - Friday 7:30am - 12pm and 12:30pm - 2:45pm; Saturday 7:15am - 2:30pm. Holiday closures apply — check the town's page before you load, or skip the trip entirely and let the can take the schedule problem off your plate.
What's the cheapest junk removal job you'll take in Manchester?
Our minimum charge is $179 — covers a single mattress, an old appliance, a small pile of junk by the curb. Anything that fits in less than 1/8 of our truck. For very small jobs, that's the floor. Larger jobs scale up by truck-space used, all the way to $979 for a full 20-cubic-yard load.
What can't go in your trucks?
Hazardous waste — paint, motor oil, gasoline, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, biohazardous material. Lithium and other batteries. CT and NY both run household hazardous-waste programs through most municipalities; we'll point you to the right channel for anything we can't take. Refrigerators, freezers, ACs, and dehumidifiers are fine, but the refrigerant has to be removed (or already removed) per EPA rules — we can document this on pickup.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
Not always — depends on the job. For interior cleanouts where the crew needs access through the house, yes. For driveway, garage, or yard pickups where items are already accessible, often no — we coordinate on the call. Estate cleanouts and tenant-out scenarios where the family or property manager isn't on-site work fine if access and scope are pre-confirmed.
How fast can you come to Manchester?
Next-day is the standard for Manchester: it's a long run from our West Haven yard, and we'd rather promise what we can deliver. On an early call, same-day has a real chance in the closer towns along I-91; the northwest towns (Granby, Hartland, Canton) are next-day, full stop. Call (203) 219-8855, 8 AM – 10 PM, 7 days; live team Mon–Fri 8 AM – 4 PM, AI phone assistant other times, to ask.
