JUNK REMOVAL IN DURHAM, CT

CLEANOUTS AND TEARDOWNS AROUND TOWN

Our Durham Junk Removal

Junk Bear handles residential and commercial junk removal in Durham, a former farming village on the Coginchaul River. We are locally owned and operated in Connecticut.

Durham sits in Middlesex County with the Metacomet Ridge running along its west side, Miller’s Pond State Park inside the town lines, and a historic district at the center. The Durham Fair is the event most people know the town for. Homes here are mostly single-family, which suits our garage, basement and attic cleanouts and our shed and deck removal.

How Junk Bear Can Serve You

Town rules shape a lot of Durham jobs, so here is how they work. The transfer station on Cherry Hill Road is shared with Middlefield and opens to residents of those two towns only. You need proof of residency to get a sticker for your windshield, and the station keeps a short schedule of days rather than staying open all week.

It takes everyday garbage and recycling, electronics, loose leaves and scrap metal that has been drained of oil and gasoline. Brush is welcome if it is up to 4 inches across and 8 feet long. Lead paint, asbestos, wood thicker than 4 inches and clean fill such as rocks, concrete and dirt are on the not-accepted list.

That leaves a lot of Durham projects without a drop-off point. Our services cover what falls outside that list:

  • Garage, basement and attic cleanouts for Durham homes
  • Furniture Removal such as sofas, dressers and dining sets
  • Construction Debris Removal left from renovations and yard projects
  • Demolition services for decks and sheds that leave a pile of lumber
  • Appliances, hot tubs and other bulky items the town station will not weigh in
