Built for city access.

Wilmington is the hardest city in Delaware to haul out of, and that's exactly why we're good at it. The row homes off Union Street, through Little Italy and up into the Highlands were built long before anyone thought about getting a sleeper sofa back down again. Narrow stairwells, tight landings, doors that open the wrong way. We walk the carry-out before we touch anything, then pad the banister and the door frames on the way through.

The housing stock here is old and it turns over fast. We run a steady line of tenant turnovers around Trolley Square, Forty Acres and Cool Spring, basement and attic clearouts in century-old houses where the stairs are stone and steep, and estate work up through Brandywine Hundred and Westover Hills where the driveways are long and the neighbors notice everything. We're just as often south of the city in New Castle and Minquadale.

Wilmington also sends us more commercial work than anywhere else in Delaware. Office suites downtown and along the Riverfront, law and medical practices swapping out furniture, back-of-house and warehouse clearouts. If your building needs us on a loading dock slot or after the close of business, say so on the estimate and we'll schedule around it.

We're family-owned, based in Middletown, licensed and insured, and we're in Wilmington constantly. Crews run seven days a week, 6am to 9pm, and you can book online any time.

Recent jobs in Wilmington

Wilmington, the week of October 11, 2026. We were there four times.

  • A garage loft cleared.

    Monday we emptied a garage loft. Overhead storage is the part people put off longest, because getting it back down is the whole job. Two of us and a ladder turned it into an afternoon.

    A pile brought down from a Wilmington garage loft in the middle of the garage floor, with the open loft hatch overhead and a Junk Away crew member nearby.

  • Household furniture.

    The same day we took a mixed household furniture load out of a second home.

  • Moving labor.

    Tuesday we put two crew members on a few hours of moving labor for a repeat customer.

  • Back to finish the job.

    Wednesday we returned to a home where an earlier visit had only taken part of what the customer wanted gone, and cleared the rest.

Wilmington, the week of October 4, 2026. We were there four times.

  • A basement cleanout.

    Monday was a basement, start to finish.

    A low, stone-walled Wilmington basement crowded with boxes, bags, bins and an old printer before the cleanout.
    Before
    The same Wilmington basement cleared down to the old tile floor, with a Junk Away crew member checking the corner.
    After
  • A furniture pickup.

    The same day we took a quarter-load of furniture out of another home.

  • Basement and garage in one visit.

    Wednesday we did both at one house. Doing them together is almost always cheaper than two trips, so if you have more than one space to clear, say so when you call.

    Before
    The same Wilmington basement cleared down to the painted floor.
    After
  • One large outdoor machine.

    Friday was a single heavy outdoor machine, the kind of thing that will not fit in a car and that the curb will not take.

Wilmington, the week of September 27, 2026. We were there three times.

  • What the movers left behind.

    Tuesday was a repeat customer with the items their movers would not take. This comes up constantly. Movers price by what goes on the truck, so anything you have decided not to keep gets left in the house.

  • Clearing a parent's condo.

    Thursday we took the furniture out of a customer's mother's condo. These are not really junk jobs. They are somebody sorting out a hard few weeks, and we try to be quick and quiet about it.

    Before
    The same dining room cleared, with only the sideboard left against the wall.
    After
  • A third job.

    Tuesday also brought a job we have no work details on, only scheduling notes.

We were in Wilmington twice the week of September 20, 2026.

  • Basement cleanout in Limestone Acres.

    The homeowner had a family member on site to walk us through what was going and what was staying.

    An unfinished Wilmington basement packed with boxes, bins and furniture before the cleanout.
    Before
    The same Wilmington basement cleared, with only the exercise mats and weight bench left in place.
    After
  • Construction debris removal in Wawaset Park.

    A bathroom had been torn out and the material was bagged and ready. The driveway was tight, so we worked carefully around it.

Shawn and Brian did a great job removing my 20-year-old hot tub. Speedy and complete cleanup. I'll definitely call them again for junk removal.

The stuff people actually ask.

Our minimum is $199, which covers a single couch or a small pile. Above that the price scales with volume and labor, and stairs count as labor: a third-floor walk-up on Delaware Avenue is more work than a curbside pickup in Brandywine Hundred, and the quote reflects that. Estimates are free and on-site, and you get a flat number before we start. No hourly meter, no surprise line at the end.
Often, yes. Wilmington is close enough to our routes that we can usually work a job in, but same-day slots fill early, so call (302) 532-1186 in the morning rather than the afternoon. Our crews run seven days a week, 6am to 9pm, and you can book online any time.
That's the whole job. Tight Wilmington row-home stairwells, two-flight walk-ups, turning landings, stone basement steps: we plan the carry-out before we start and pad what needs padding. If something genuinely won't make the turn, we'll say so at the estimate instead of finding out halfway down with your wall in the way.
Most downtown jobs work fine off the street or the back alley, and we're used to loading in tight spots without blocking a block. If your street is metered or too narrow to work safely, a reserved space has to be requested from the City of Wilmington by the property owner or building management, not by us. Mention the block at your estimate and we'll tell you whether we think you need one, then schedule around it.
Furniture and mattresses, appliances, hot tubs, treadmills and gym equipment, full basement, attic and garage cleanouts, tenant leave-behinds, construction and renovation debris, yard waste, and office furniture and cubicles. What we can't take is hazardous material: paint, solvents, motor oil, propane tanks, asbestos. If you're unsure, send a photo and we'll tell you straight.
Yes, and Wilmington is where most of that work is. Office suites downtown and on the Riverfront, medical and law practices replacing furniture, retail and restaurant clearouts, and property managers turning units over. We're licensed and insured, we can provide a certificate of insurance for building management, and we can work after hours or in a booked freight elevator slot.
