We clear it. We carry it up.
Everything you need to know up front.
A basement clean out is the same flat-rate junk removal in Utica, NY work as any other job, with one difference: every piece comes up the stairs, and we do that part. Here is what people ask about most.
The whole basement, up the stairs.
Utica basements fill up fast, and older homes here have narrow, steep stairs that make hauling it out yourself a real job. We handle all of it, from a single heavy item to a basement packed floor to ceiling. Leave everything where it sits; our crew sorts it, carries it up, and loads it.
A basement is often part of a bigger clear-out. If you are also emptying the rest of the home, our house clean out service covers every room, and we handle estate cleanouts and hoarder cleanouts too.
Not sure how much is down there? Call 315-509-3762 or email a few photos and we'll give you a flat-rate quote for the whole basement.

Real basements, really cleared.
A few recent basement clear-outs from around Utica and Oneida County, same crew, same flat rate, and we carried it all up.
Priced by the load, not by the hour.
Basement cleanouts are priced on how much we haul away, the same flat-rate tiers we use for every job, with all the stair-carrying included. No hourly billing, no surprise add-ons. We give a firm quote before we load anything.
A few pieces of furniture, some boxes, or a single heavy item like a treadmill or freezer.
Half a basement of furniture, boxes, and stored clutter cleared out.
Most of a full basement, furniture, appliances, and years of storage.
An entire packed basement cleared in one truckload. The most common full-basement job.
Water-damaged? We haul it out.
After a leak, a sump-pump failure, or a spring flood, a Utica basement can fill with soaked furniture, ruined carpet, warped boxes, and damaged storage. We haul all of that out and up the stairs so the space can dry out and be put back together.
One honest note: we are a junk removal and cleanout crew, not a mold-remediation company. We remove and dispose of water-damaged and moldy items and debris, but if your basement has active mold growth on the walls or structure, we recommend a remediation company handle the treatment first, then we clear whatever needs to come out.
Call 315-509-3762 or email photos and we'll tell you exactly what we can take.
After water damage, we remove
- Soaked couches, chairs, and mattresses
- Ruined wall-to-wall carpet and padding
- Warped boxes, totes, and stored belongings
- Damaged appliances and water heaters
- Wet drywall and debris from a partial gut-out
- General flood debris, bagged and hauled
From first call to an empty basement, usually same day.
No in-person estimate needed to get started, and you never touch the stairs. Here is the whole process.
A basement holds a lot of usable things.
We sort every load before final disposal and route it in three directions, so most of what comes out of your basement stays out of the landfill.

How much does a basement clean out cost in Utica, NY?
Basement cleanouts are flat-rate based on how much we haul. A partial clear-out starts around $325, and a full basement of junk runs about $600. Packed or multi-room basements are quoted flat after a quick look, typically up to $1,500 to $2,000 for the largest jobs. Every price includes carrying it all up the stairs, and we give you a firm written quote before we start.
Do I need to move items upstairs before you come?
No. Leave everything right where it sits in the basement. Our crew does all the lifting, carrying, and stair work, that is the whole point of hiring us. You do not need to move, sort, or stage anything beforehand.
What if my basement flooded or has mold?
We haul out water-damaged and moldy items and debris, soaked furniture, ruined carpet, warped boxes, and flood debris, and carry it up and away. We are a cleanout crew, not a mold-remediation company, so if there is active mold growth on the walls or structure, we recommend a remediation company treat that first, then we clear whatever needs to come out.
Do you handle old appliances or electronics?
Yes. Old washers, dryers, freezers, dehumidifiers, and water heaters are common basement items and we take them all. Appliances with refrigerant are handled with EPA-certified recovery, and old TVs, computers, and monitors go to certified e-waste recycling under New York State law.
How fast can you get here?
Same-day or next-day in most cases. Call 315-509-3762 or email a few photos and we will give you a flat-rate quote and an arrival window. We are open 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week.
How long does a basement cleanout take?
Most basements take one hour to a day depending on how full they are and the stairs. A few items or a corner can be done in under an hour; a full, packed basement is usually a half-day to a full-day job. We give you a realistic time estimate with your quote.
Will you donate or recycle what comes out?
Yes. Usable furniture, household goods, and tools are donated to Goodwill and local thrift partners, scrap metal and electronics go to recycling, and only what is left over goes to the transfer station, usually just 30 to 50 percent of the load. Donation receipts are available on request.
Are you insured?
Yes. Utica Junk Removal carries commercial general liability and commercial auto insurance and is USDOT registered #4535667. We are locally owned, operating since 2021, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.
One call. We empty the basement and carry it up.
