Types of Emergency Situations We Handle in Ithaca

Not all junk emergencies look the same, but we’ve seen just about all of them. When time is tight and junk can’t wait, here’s how we can help:

Renovation & Construction Cleanouts

Did a last-minute renovation project leave debris everywhere? We’ll clear out leftover materials like drywall, wood, tile, and fixtures fast.

Eviction or Foreclosure Cleanouts

Need a unit cleared ASAP after a tenant leaves or a property changes hands? We remove furniture, trash, and anything else left behind, so you can move forward without delay.

Overloaded Dumpsters or Missed Pickups

If your dumpster fills up too soon or your trash service misses a pickup, we can step in and haul it off right away. No waiting around for next week.

Storm & Flood Damage Junk Removal

Storms can leave behind soaked furniture, broken branches, and destroyed belongings. We help clear the mess quickly so you can focus on repairs and safety.

Fire or Property Damage Cleanup

After damage from fire or smoke, we remove destroyed items, debris, and structural junk so cleanout and restoration can begin.

Clutter Crisis or Hoarder Situations

Sudden move? Health issue? Safety concern? We handle hoarder-type cleanouts with care, speed, and zero judgment.
