Junk removal
in Port Deposit.
Port Deposit is built on a shelf between the Susquehanna and a granite cliff, which means one main street, almost no parking, and steps — a lot of steps. It is a town where the difference between a good hauler and a cheap one shows up fast.

Where we work in town
Port Deposit,
street by street
We work Main Street and the row houses along it, the properties climbing Rock Run and the hill roads above town, the Route 222 corridor north, and the larger properties out toward Bainbridge and the old Tome School grounds. Stairs, retaining walls, and no place to put a trailer are the norm here, and we price for it honestly instead of pretending it is a flat driveway job.
Where it goes
Disposal in
Cecil County
Cecil County runs its own disposal system and everything we pull out of a Port Deposit property stays inside it. The Central Landfill sits at 758 East Old Philadelphia Road in Elkton, open Monday through Saturday, 7:30am to 3:30pm.
Worth knowing, because it catches people out: the county’s two transfer stations — Woodlawn on Waibel Road in Colora and Stemmer’s Run in Earleville — only take bagged household trash and recyclables. Bulky waste, furniture, construction debris and cleanout material all have to go to the Central Landfill in Elkton, no matter which corner of the county it came from. So if you were planning to run a load to whichever one is closest to you, it will get turned away at the gate.
The scale house weighs trucks in and out and charges by the ton. That is the whole reason we ask for photos before quoting: the weight of a load is most of the cost of a load, and guessing at it over the phone helps nobody.
One more thing if you are comparing haulers — Cecil County facilities will not accept waste generated outside the county, and the reverse is true too. A hauler running your Port Deposit debris out of the county is paying to do it, and that shows up in your price.
Port Deposit questions
Before
you call
My place is up a flight of outside steps. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, but it is a real factor in the price, and any hauler telling you otherwise is going to renegotiate on your driveway. Carry distance and stairs are most of the labor on a Port Deposit job. Send a photo showing the approach and the number we give you is the number you pay.
There is nowhere to park a truck on my block. What then?
Common on Main Street. We use a smaller trailer, stage the load, and make more trips. We would rather tell you that up front and price it right than show up and discover it.
How soon can you get to a job in Port Deposit?
Usually within the week, often sooner. Text photos to 410-996-4860 and we will tell you the earliest we can be there along with the price — not a window, an actual day.
Do I have to be home when you come?
Not always. If everything is outside, in an open garage, or anywhere we can reach without going through the house, we can do the job and send you photos and an invoice afterward. For anything inside an occupied home we ask that someone is there.
What won’t you take?
No liquid waste, paint, chemicals, gasoline, propane tanks, asbestos, or medical waste. No disposal facility in the region accepts those from a hauler. We will tell you before we load rather than find out at the scale house.
