We sort before we dump. Each load gets checked for what can go to local donation and what can be recycled, like metal, appliances, and e-waste. The rest goes to the Pine Tree (Casella) transfer station in Hampden.

Junk Removal Across Greater Bangor and the Penobscot Region
We are a local crew working both sides of the Penobscot River, along the I-95 and Route 1A corridor. That covers Bangor, Brewer, Hampden, Orono, Old Town, Hermon, Holden, Veazie, Glenburn, and Eddington, plus a run out to Ellsworth on the way Downeast. From the brick commercial blocks in town to the clapboard homes with steep roofs, detached garages, deep basements, and packed attics out in the neighborhoods, we know the housing stock and the back roads. Being based right here means we can usually get to your place the same week you reach out, often within a day or two when the schedule allows.
Access is most of the job around here. We handle steep bulkhead stairs, narrow river-house cellars, soft camp roads out by the lakes, and pole barns on the bigger rural lots. We bring the hands and the truck, you point at what stays and what goes, and we carry it out from wherever it sits. The price is set up front by load size, meaning how much room your stuff takes in the truck. Your quote covers the pickup location and the full job, and we confirm it before any lifting starts.
How we scope your quote
The flow is simple and there are no numbers to game. You describe the job and send a few photos, we email back an estimate based on what you sent, and you approve the final amount before we lift anything. Here is what shapes that estimate:
- Truck space, meaning how much room your load takes up. That is the load-size model, not an hourly meter.
- Item and material type, from a single mattress to heavy, special-handling pieces like appliances and hot tubs.
- Access, including stairs, basements, attics, long carries, and tight doorways.
- Scope changes. If the pile grows or the access is different than described, we re-quote before we lift a thing.
Where your loads go
We donate first, recycle second, and treat the landfill as the last stop, no matter which town the load comes from.

Service area questions
Who hauls away junk in my area near Bangor?
We do. We are a local, insured crew that covers Bangor, Brewer, Hampden, Orono, Old Town, and the rest of the Greater Bangor area, out to Ellsworth. Find your town in the grid above, then send us the details or email [email protected]. We show up, do all the lifting, and load it onto our truck so you do not have to.
How soon can you get to my town?
Most of the time we can be there the same week you reach out, and often within a day or two. Because we are based right here in the region, we are not driving in from hours away. Send us what you need gone and the town you are in, and we will give you a free up-front quote and the soonest day we can get on it.
Do you charge more for towns farther out, like Ellsworth?
Your quote is based on the job: the load size and the pickup location. You see the number up front before we start, with no hourly meter and no surprise add-ons at the end.
What if my town is not on the list?
Reach out anyway and ask. The towns shown above are the ones we work most, but we cover a good chunk of the Penobscot region and the area heading Downeast. Tell us where you are and what you need hauled, and we will let you know right away if we can get to you and set up a free quote.
Do you handle both homes and businesses?
Yes, residential and commercial both. We clear out garages, basements, attics, and yards for homeowners, and we handle offices, shops, rental turnovers, and other commercial cleanouts for local businesses. Same deal either way: a free up-front quote by load size, we do all the lifting, and we donate or recycle first before anything heads to the transfer station.
