Schenectady, NY · Part of the Earlybird family

Point at it.
It’s gone.

Junk removal, home and estate cleanouts and light demolition across Schenectady and the Capital Region. One call.

  • Family-owned
  • We load, sweep and haul
  • One number, before we lift
  • Schenectady-based

Who’s coming

The same family that paves your driveway.

Earlybird Junk Removal and Cleanup is the newer half of Earlybird Paving, here in Schenectady. Same people, same number, smaller trailer.

01

The Earlybird crew

The number Schenectady already calls for driveways picks up for junk too. Same family business, same faces at the door.

02

Job-site hands

Carrying heavy things carefully is the day job on the paving side. A basement sectional is the easy end of that week.

03

Family-owned, local

Run the way you’d want someone in your house to behave: quote before we lift, sweep before we leave.

  • Appliances
  • TVs & e-waste
  • Hot tubs & grills

Sheds, decks, pools — and that bathroom.

Small structures down and hauled away. Kitchens and baths stripped to the studs, debris gone, ready for your contractor.

  • Sheds & playsets
  • Decks & fences
  • Above-ground pools
  • Kitchen & bath tear-outs
  • Carpet & drywall

Size up the load

Tap what’s going.

A rough feel for how much trailer your stuff takes — and a list you can text us in one tap. Every quote is one number, confirmed in person before we lift a thing.

A guide, not a quote. Stairs, distance to the truck and what’s inside the bags all change the number — that’s why we look first.

Why not the curb

The curb has rules.

  1. 01

    Bulk pickup is a program

    Municipal bulk pickup runs on its own schedule, and the rules change. A couch on the curb the wrong week just sits there.

  2. 02

    Appliances wait for the calendar

    Appliance collection tends to happen on set dates. A dead fridge in the kitchen doesn’t care what the calendar says.

  3. 03

    The transfer station is a Saturday

    Renting a trailer, loading it yourself, waiting in line at the county station — that’s your weekend. It’s our Tuesday.

Or: one phone call.

How it works

Call. Look. Gone.

  1. 01

    Call or text a photo

    Tell us what’s going and where. A couple of photos help us bring the right trailer and the right number of hands.

  2. 02

    We show up and quote

    We look at the pile and give you one number for the whole job — loading, hauling, disposal — before anything moves.

  3. 03

    We load, sweep, haul

    You point. We carry, sweep the spot clean and dispose of it properly — donation and recycling where it makes sense.

Earlybird

The early bird gets it done.

Family-owned, Schenectady-based, and the same phone number as Earlybird Paving. Junk is just the newest thing we haul.

Good to know

Questions, answered straight.

Is this the same company as Earlybird Paving?

Yes — same family business, same crew, same phone number. The junk removal and cleanout side is the newer half of what Earlybird already does out of Schenectady.

Do you quote over the phone?

We give you a ballpark from a description or a few photos, then confirm one number in person before anything moves. If it’s more than you expected, you can say no and we shake hands.

Do I need to be home?

Not if the items are outside or in a garage we can get to. For anything inside, someone should let us in and point — that’s the whole job for you.

Where does it all go?

Usable furniture and appliances go to donation where we can; metal and electronics get recycled; the rest goes to a licensed transfer station. Nothing gets left on a back road.

Can you take it from the basement or upstairs?

Yes. Stairs, tight turns, bulkheads — that’s most of the work. Tell us about them when you call so we bring the right crew.

How soon can you come?

Call and we’ll give you a real date, not a maybe. Small pickups often fit around a bigger job in the same town.

Ready when you are

Let’s get it out of here.

One call gets you a straight answer, a date, and a crew that shows up with the trailer. No pressure to book on the spot.
