Junk Gone From Your Utica Property, Without Lifting a Thing
Looking for junk removal in Utica, NY? Utica is a city of two-family homes, three-story walk-ups, deep basements and attics that have been collecting things for generations. Getting a sectional down a narrow stairwell or a chest freezer up basement steps is not a weekend project most people want to take on. That is the job we show up for.
John's Clean-Outs is based in nearby Rome and has been hauling junk across Utica and the Mohawk Valley since 2011. You point at what goes. Our crew does the carrying, loading and disposal, then sweeps up before we leave.

I had my parents home cleared out today by John’s Cleanouts & Property. They arrived at 8:30am as promised. They were so nice and professional to both me and my husband as it was a very emotional day, especially for me seeing my childhood home cleaned out. They could not have been nicer as they moved about the house completely clearing each room out and making sure everything I needed was done. As a matter of fact they found a bag of coins under my parents bed that I didn’t even know was there. Bill brought the bag to me right away. I so appreciated the guys empathy, kindness and professionalism. This truly is a very trustworthy company, I would hire them again in a minute!!! Thank you to John, Rick, Bill and all the guys today that made this process easier for me . Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Barbara & Tony CampagnaPosted on Google![]()

John and Rick were very polite and personable. Three men came and did a very thorough, careful job cleaning out furniture, junk, and garbage. They went above and beyond leaving nothing behind. When they swept up they also attacked cobwebs. They were working at the Town of Western Library. Please stop by and request to see their work.Posted on Google![]()

I can't say enough of the amazing experience had with John's clean out service. The whole process started with John getting back to me while he was on vacation a mere hour after I filled out the form online. Everything after that went smoothly even after I postponed a week he accommodated perfectly. I met the crew there on that day,very nice gentleman courteous professional and got the job done way quicker than I could imagine. Their company slogan truly lives up to "Taking the Stress out of your Mess". This company deserves 10 Stars not just five !!Posted on Google![]()

When I walked into my uncle's home after he passed, I was overwhelmed with the degree of hoarding I encountered. I had no idea where to start until a friend of mine recommended I call John's Cleanouts. Within days, John met me at the house. He literally guided me through the process to clean out the garage, basement, two floors, attic and outdoors. The quote was incredibly fair. What would have taken my family six months to clean out was literally completed by his crew in a day! Not only did I trust him implicitly, but he also found valuable paperwork, coins, cash and even the deed to the house that were buried in the massive mess! I will be forever grateful for his part in helping my family handle my uncle's affairs with dignity and respect.
Junk Removal Questions From Utica Residents
What can John's Clean-Outs haul away in Utica?
We haul furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, exercise equipment, yard debris, renovation leftovers and the general clutter from garages, basements and attics. If it is safe to move and fits on the truck, it can usually go. Anything hazardous, such as paint, solvents or fuel, needs special disposal, so mention it when you call and we will tell you what we can take.
How much does junk removal cost in Utica, NY?
Every job is quoted after we see what is going. Send a few photos by text, call us, or request a free estimate, and we will give you a quote before any work begins. The final number depends on how much there is, where it sits in the building and how easy it is to reach.
Do I need to be home during the pickup?
Not always. If the items are in an accessible spot such as a garage, porch or curb, you often do not need to be there. For indoor jobs we just need someone to provide access and point out what goes.
Can you remove items from a basement, attic or upper floor?
Yes. Many Utica homes are older two-family and multi-story buildings with narrow stairs and tight turns, and carrying things down is a big part of what we do. Point out what goes, and the crew handles the lifting, loading and hauling.
Do you work with landlords and property managers between tenants?
Yes. Landlords and property managers call us to clear furniture, appliances and belongings left behind after a move-out, often across several units. Tell us the addresses and access details, and we can schedule around your turnover.
What is the difference between junk removal and a cleanout?
Junk removal is for specific items or areas, such as an old couch, a cluttered garage or a basement full of boxes. A cleanout means clearing an entire property or building, for example after an estate, a foreclosure or a business closing. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the situation and we will point you to the right service.
Do you take appliances, mattresses and electronics?
Yes. Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, mattresses, box springs, televisions and similar bulky items are some of the most common things we haul. They are also the items regular curbside trash pickup often will not take.
How soon can you schedule junk removal in Utica?
Utica is a short drive from our Rome base, and many jobs can be scheduled within a few days. We are open seven days a week, so call or text for the next available time.
