dumpster loaded furniture removal in Stamford, CT by Grizzly Junk Pros

Junk removal in Waterford 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. Waterford is about 50 minutes east of our West Haven yard, so next-day is the standard here, and the shore neighborhoods are where the truck's position takes the most planning.

What Waterford jobs tend to look like

Pleasure Beach, Mago Point and Goshen Cove are shore communities on tighter, older parcels, where there's less room to stand a full-size truck and the approach is worth a look first. Jordan Cove is shore-adjacent residential. Waterford Center, Quaker Hill and Great Neck are mid-size residential, Quaker Hill the older of the three, and most of those houses have ordinary suburban driveways the truck can back into. The Harkness Memorial State Park area is park-adjacent and more rural. So across Waterford the question changes with the neighbourhood: on the shore it's access, inland it's mostly how much there is.

The truck and the crew

One 20 cubic yard truck, two people, and no expectation that you touch any of it. That's four to five cubic yards more than the 15-to-17-yard trucks most of this industry runs, and the extra volume is why a job that would take somebody else two dispatches usually takes us one. The tiers below are measured against that truck, so the sizing math stays honest across every job we quote.

What customers told us afterward

Had some old appliances and garage junk taken away. Guys were friendly and didn't waste any time.

How fast we get to Waterford

Next-day is standard here.

Waterford is past East Lyme, where drive time rules out a same-day promise, so we book it next-day and say so on the phone. Either way you get a real arrival window at booking, not a callback. New London County dispatch runs Mon–Sat 8 AM – 4 PM.

Common Waterford junk removal calls

Shore-community clears

Pleasure Beach, Mago Point and Goshen Cove, on tighter older parcels where the truck's position gets settled before the day.

Waterford Center, Quaker Hill and Great Neck houses

Mid-size lots with suburban driveways, where the truck parks close and the price follows the volume.

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.

The full 13-tier ladder — Waterford

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.”

Demo work in Waterford

Structure removal and hauling are the same job more often than not. A deck, a shed, an above-ground pool, a playset — the thing has to come down before anything can be carried out, and splitting that across two companies means two schedules and an argument about who cleans up. We do the taking-apart and the taking-away together on all of those.

Interior demolition and anything structural is the exception, and worth being straight about: that is coordinated through our licensed demolition partner, and every load of debris goes out in our own dumpsters. Typical Track A work: dropping a deck and loading the lumber, dismantling a shed and clearing the pad, pulling a fence and its posts. Priced separately from the haul because scope drives it.

Junk removal FAQs — Waterford

Can the truck fit on a Pleasure Beach or Mago Point lot?
The shore parcels are tighter and older than the rest of town, so it depends on the street. Send a photo of the approach when you book, and we'll decide where the truck stands before the crew is scheduled.
Do you deliver dumpsters in Waterford too?
Yes. Waterford is inside our dumpster delivery area, unlike New London and Groton, where we send junk crews only. If you'd rather load a can yourself over a week, that's the other page.
How is a Waterford job priced?
By how much of the 20-yard truck your items fill, on 13 tiers from $179 to $979. The crew confirms the tier before anything goes on the truck.
What does it cost to dump cleanout debris at the Waterford transfer station?
Waterford's published rate for residential construction and demolition material (as published September 2026): ‘Please note that fees will be charged for the following items: tires, brush, demolition/construction debris, appliances, and logs.’ Schedule of Fees includes ‘$110 per Ton’ and load-size pricing — ‘Pickup Truck: $5 per load; Small Dump Truck/Small Dump Trailer (1 to 2 axles): $10 per load; Large Dump Truck: $15 per load’. Tires: ‘Passenger Tires: $2 each; Truck Tires 7.50 by 16 and up: $5 each; Earth Moving Equipment Tires: $50 each’. ‘Attendant will use judgment in setting fees for odd-size loads.’ Towns repost these schedules on their own timetable, so check the source link before you budget against it. That's the do-it-yourself route; on our jobs the debris rides out in the can that's already on site, weighed once and billed at our posted rates.
When is the Waterford transfer station open?
The town posts (as published September 2026): Regular Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday 7:30 - 3:30. 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 Waterford?
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 Waterford?
Next-day is the standard for Waterford; it's past East Lyme, where drive time rules out a same-day promise. We confirm the arrival window when you book. 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.
