Junk removal
in Delaware City.
Delaware City is small, old, and right on the canal — tight streets, historic houses, and a lot of properties where the only way out is through the front door and down the steps.

Where we work in town
Delaware City,
street by street
We cover the town grid, the Route 9 corridor, the properties out toward Fort DuPont and the canal, and the newer housing on the edges. Small-town access problems are the story here: narrow lanes, on-street parking, and no room to swing a trailer.
Where it goes
Disposal in
New Castle County
Delaware runs its waste through the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, so a Delaware City job does not touch the Maryland system at all. Most of what comes off a truck up here goes to Cherry Island Landfill at 1706 East 12th Street in Wilmington, open 7am to 5pm weekdays and 7am to 3pm Saturday.
For jobs south of the canal, the Pine Tree Corner Transfer Station at 276 Pine Tree Road in Townsend is the closer gate — Monday through Saturday, 7am to 5pm. Which one we use depends on where you are, and both are priced by weight.
Because Maryland county facilities will not take Delaware-generated waste, a hauler who is set up only for Cecil County is either turning your job down or eating a long detour. We run both sides of the line and quote Delaware City on Delaware numbers, not Maryland ones.
Delaware City questions
Before
you call
Will a truck fit on my street?
Sometimes not, and we would rather know before the day. In the older part of town we use smaller equipment and make extra trips. Tell us the street when you text and we will sort it out in advance instead of on your curb.
Do you take waterlogged basement contents?
Yes — ruined furniture, soaked carpet, dead appliances, boxes that have been wet. If there is standing water or active mold you want a remediation company in first, then us behind them to clear it out.
What is your turnaround in Delaware City?
Most Delaware City jobs go out the same week the quote is accepted, and we can sometimes do next-day if a slot opens. Send photos and you will get a real date back, not a vague promise.
Can you do the job while I am at work?
Yes, as long as we can get to the items without going through a locked house. Plenty of our Delaware City jobs happen with nobody home — you leave the garage open or the gate unlocked, and we send photos and the invoice when it is done.
Is there anything you have to refuse?
Yes — liquid paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste. Those need a licensed route we do not have, and no landfill in this region will take them off a hauling truck. We flag it before the day rather than leaving it in your driveway.
