Licensed & Insured, Family-Owned
SAME-DAY SERVICE AVAILABLE

The shed out back finally lost its roof, and everything in it is still there. TJ’s Cleanout Services handles junk removal, property cleanouts, and demolition throughout Bristol, from Forestville and Edgewood to Federal Hill, Chippens Hill, and the neighborhoods along Terryville Avenue. We quote the whole job on-site before anything moves, haul it in one trip when we can, and rake the spot clean afterward. Licensed, insured, family-owned, seven days a week.
We price by the space your load takes up in the truck, and you get that number on-site before we start. Pricing runs from a minimum charge for a few items up to a full truck load for a whole-property clearout, with most Bristol garage and basement jobs somewhere in the middle. What we won’t do is bill by the hour. Bristol properties tend to sprawl, and a long carry from a backyard shed down a sloped lot takes real time. On an hourly model that time is your problem. Here it’s ours, because the price was locked in before we picked anything up.
Bristol has space, and space fills up. The single most common call we get from this city is a detached garage that hasn’t fit a car in fifteen years, or a shed that’s now storing whatever wouldn’t fit in the garage.
We clear all of it in one visit:
If the shed or the pool is what’s actually done, we don’t just empty it. We take the structure down and haul the debris in the same trip, which is covered under our above-ground pool removal service and our garage and shed demolition work.
We take furniture and appliances, electronics and e-waste, construction and demolition debris, yard waste, hot tubs, mattresses, and tires. E-waste, mattresses, tires, and freon appliances carry an added recycling fee, and we name it during the estimate rather than after.
We do not take car batteries, propane tanks, vehicles, wet paint, motor oil, chemicals and solvents, asbestos, biohazard or medical waste, firearms, boats, or pianos. Bristol garages are the most reliable source of exactly the things on that list, so it’s worth pulling the gas cans and old paint aside before we arrive. Everything else, we handle.
Federal Hill and Edgewood are full of houses that have been in the same family for decades, and eventually somebody has to clear one. We do that work carefully. You don’t have to sort first, and you don’t have to be there. We take everything, set aside what can be donated, and go at whatever pace the family sets.
Bristol’s older Victorians and Italianates around the Federal Hill Green come with narrow back stairs and floored attics that hold a great deal more than they look like they should. We plan the route before we start so nothing gets dragged across original floors. Our house cleanout service covers the whole property, basement to attic to garage.
We’re licensed for structural demolition, so this isn’t just hauling. Sheds, decks, fences, garages, driveways, and interior gutouts all run through our own crew, and the debris removal is part of the job rather than a separate contract.
That comes up constantly in Bristol. A deck built in the eighties is rotted at the ledger, the pool has been green for two summers, or the detached garage is leaning. We take the structure down, clear the pad, and leave the ground ready for whatever comes next. We advise on permits and coordinate with the city when the scope calls for it.
We’re family-owned and based in Hartford County, with a 5-star rating on Google across more than 270 reviews. Troy stays directly involved in the work. We arrive inside the window we promised, we quote before we load, and we don’t leave a mess where the pile used to be.
Need junk removal in Bristol? TJ’s Cleanout Services gives you a firm price before anything moves. Free estimate, same-day often available. Licensed, insured, family-owned. Call or book online.
TJ’s serves Bristol seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, with same-day availability when slots are open. Our crews cover the whole city, Forestville, Edgewood, Chippens Hill, Federal Hill, and the residential streets around Rockwell Park, and most jobs finish in a single visit. You get a two-hour arrival window, a free on-site estimate, and final approval on the price before we start.
Our general contracting license covers demolition, flooring, drywall, siding, painting, and kitchen and bath renovation for Bristol homeowners. When clearing a space turns into rebuilding it, the same company handles both, from hauling out the old deck to framing the new one. One point of contact, one crew, free estimate for any scope.
Bristol spreads across several distinct sections, with Edgewood in the northeast, Forestville in the southeast, and Federal Hill more centrally. Housing runs from Victorian and Italianate homes around the Federal Hill Green to postwar ranches and capes on larger lots, which means detached garages, backyard sheds, above-ground pools, and full basements are the usual sources of a Bristol cleanout.

TESTIMONIALS
"Highly highly recommend TJs! I used them to help with some debris and junk removal that we had been putting off and they were super professional, incredibly helpful, and non-judgmental. They were affordable and saved us the hassle of renting a dumpster and having to haul stuff ourselves."
"The team that came to help clean out our garage and get rid of some big items in the yard was fantastic. The estimate they gave me at the beginning was exactly what I ended up paying. The guys were very fast and got everything out in about 30 minutes."
"I reached out to TJ's because they were independently owned and had excellent reviews. I had become overwhelmed by the garage and basement. In 2 hours the areas were cleared and cleaned. The staff were respectful, professional, and non-judgmental. I highly recommend them."
"The crew at TJ's was very friendly and efficient. They were on time and removed our hot tub with ease and didn't have any issues at all. I appreciated the way they thoroughly cleaned up. Would highly recommend."
"TJ's was a joy to work with. The whole process was easy, pricing was transparent and fair, and everyone from the company was very kind and agreeable. They did a fantastic job, showed up promptly on time and were happy to even pick up a few extra things we found while they were there."
"TJ's did an excellent job of removing a bunch of old furniture. Great crew! Arrived as scheduled!"
Pricing is based on volume: the amount of space your items take in our truck. You get an exact quote on-site before we start. No disposal surcharges, no fuel fees, no surprises.

We quote on-site in writing, scaled by truck space from a handful of pieces to a full-house clearing. Bristol's Victorian and Italianate homes around Federal Hill Green are dense with accumulated decades. A full clearout typically requires careful planning around narrow back stairs and original flooring. We walk the whole property first to understand the scope, then give you a firm number that won't change. Call for a free estimate and site walkthrough.
Yes, and that's most of what we do here. Bristol's lots are bigger than in the cities to the east, so the accumulation ends up in the detached garage, the shed out back, or under a tarp beside the driveway. We clear all of it, including old deck furniture, rusted swing sets, scrap lumber, and above-ground pools. If the shed itself is done, we can tear it down and haul it in the same visit. Call (860) 503-9062 for a free walkthrough.
On the bigger postwar lots in Edgewood and Forestville the pile is usually outdoors, and that changes what turns up. Rusted swing sets and basketball hoops, above-ground pool walls and liners, deck boards, scrap lumber under a tarp, a mower that stopped running years ago, and brush from the back line. We load all of it in one visit. Fuel cans and old pool chemicals in the shed are the one thing we have to leave for a household hazardous waste day.
Yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are often open across Bristol, including Forestville, Edgewood, Chippens Hill, and the Route 6 corridor. Call and we can usually put a crew on it that day. We run Bristol seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, and you get a two-hour arrival window instead of an all-day wait. Call (860) 503-9062 or book online and we'll confirm your slot.
We're family-owned, licensed, insured, and hold a 5-star Google rating. Because we are a licensed general contractor, a Bristol job that starts as a garage clearout and ends with the shed coming down stays one crew, one quote and one point of contact, instead of a haul-away company and a demolition company blaming each other over a date. We quote before we load, arrive inside the two-hour window you were given, and leave the space swept.
