Junk Removal in New Paltz, NY
Swift Junk Removal is based in New Paltz — not "serving" it from forty minutes up the Thruway. When you call, the truck is already in town. That's why New Paltz jobs get the fastest scheduling on our board, and why same-day pickup happens here more than anywhere else we work, when routes allow.
We know what New Paltz junk looks like because we live with it. Village walk-ups with staircases that were never designed for a queen box spring. Rentals that flip every May and August when SUNY New Paltz empties out and refills, leaving curbs stacked with futons, mini-fridges, and four years of accumulation. Older homes around the Huguenot Street end of the village with attics and basements nobody has opened since a previous owner. Bring us any of it.
What we haul in New Paltz
Couches and mattresses out of tight village staircases — furniture removal is daily work here. Mattress and box spring disposal. Mini-fridges, window AC units, and full-size appliances — refrigerant units need proper handling, and many local transfer stations won't take them otherwise, so we manage that part. Old TVs, monitors, and computers, which New York banned from the trash back in 2015 — they need a certified e-waste recycling route, and we run one. Full basement, attic, and garage cleanouts. Yard and brush debris.
Landlords: the May and August turnover is our season
We clear whole units between tenants — furniture, leave-behinds, everything — on a schedule that matches your lease dates instead of the other way around. Open 7 days, 5 AM to 11 PM, so an early-morning clear before the cleaners arrive is a normal booking, not a favor.
The honest DIY option
New Paltz has its own ReUse and Recycling Center, and if you've got a pickup truck, a free morning, and a small load, use it — it's a good facility. Where we earn our fee: no truck to borrow, no transfer-station permit to buy, no sorting metal from trash from electronics, no second and third trips. You point, we load, we sweep up, and we handle where every piece legally goes.
Pricing
Volume-based — you pay for the space your stuff takes in the truck. The quote is free, upfront, and confirmed in person before we touch anything. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons at the curb. And there's no minimum charge — a single item gets the same free quote as a full truckload.
Where it goes
Usable furniture gets offered for donation first. Scrap metal gets recycled. Electronics go to certified e-waste recycling. The rest goes to the transfer station. That's the whole system — no invented percentages, no green theater.
