Junk removal in Simsbury is a crew job: we bring a 20-yard truck and the crew, you point at what goes, and the price is confirmed before anything is loaded. Simsbury jobs commonly run large, and the attic and basement carry most of it. That shapes what a typical Simsbury 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 Simsbury's own municipal disposal options sit if you'd rather haul it yourself.
What Simsbury jobs tend to look like
Simsbury center and Tariffville include older village-adjacent housing with smaller rooms, narrower stairs and deeper accumulation — modest footprint, substantial volume. Weatogue and West Simsbury are larger suburban lots with the garages, finished basements and driveway room to make a big load count manageable. Outbuildings appear on the more rural western parcels.
What arrives
A 20 cubic yard truck and a 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 Simsbury
Next-day is standard; same-day is occasional, on an early call when a truck has room.
Simsbury 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 Simsbury junk removal calls
Village-adjacent attic and basement clears
Simsbury centre and Tariffville — smaller rooms, narrower stairs, deeper accumulation. Modest footprint, substantial volume.
Weatogue and West Simsbury whole-house jobs
Larger suburban lots with the garages, finished basements and driveway room that make a big load count manageable in fewer days.
Rural western-edge outbuilding clears
Barns and detached garages on the more rural parcels, holding their own separate accumulation.
What it costs
You are buying space in the truck, not a line-item count of your things. That's why we don't ask what's in the pile before quoting a range — we ask how much of a 20-yard body it will fill. Thirteen tiers run from $179 to $979; these are the ones people actually land on:
- $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
The tier gets confirmed on site, before anything pulls away. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice.

What our customers say
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.”

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 Simsbury
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.
Dispatch and service area
Simsbury is inside our Hartford County service area, a long run from our West Haven yard, so next-day is the standard here; same-day happens on an early call when a truck has room. We confirm the arrival window at booking rather than quoting a drive time we haven't measured.
Phones answered 8 AM – 10 PM, 7 days; live team Mon–Fri 8 AM – 4 PM, AI phone assistant other times. Full town list at Service Area.
Junk removal FAQs — Simsbury
Does the Simsbury facility take household trash?
No — and it surprises people. The Simsbury Landfill and Recycling Center at 66 Wolcott Road takes brush, logs, appliances, mattresses, furniture, motor oil, paint, grass clippings, leaves, electronics and residential recycling. Household trash is not accepted. For a general clear-out that's the gap our crew fills.
When can I go, and do I need a permit?
Wednesdays and Saturdays only, 8 am to 3 pm, and you're asked to arrive by 2:45 to leave processing time. Permits are bought at the landfill during those hours with proof of residency, and the sticker goes low on the driver's side of the windshield.
Is there a fee for bulky items there?
Yes — dropping items with an annual permit is free for standard recycling, but bulky waste, tires, scrap metal, televisions, electronics and major appliances carry a fee. The town publishes the schedule; the attendant can refuse any item.
Do I need a permit to use the Simsbury transfer station?
Yes — Simsbury requires a resident permit for station access, per the town's posted rules. Factor the permit into any DIY disposal math; our trucks don't need one because we don't use the resident line.
When is the Simsbury transfer station open?
The town posts (as published September 2026): Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 am - 3 pm. ‘We ask that you arrive by 2:45 pm to allow enough time for processing.’ 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 Simsbury?
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 Simsbury?
Next-day is the standard for Simsbury: 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.
