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

The pole barn out back has been storing the last owner’s problems since 2009. TJ’s Cleanout Services handles junk removal, property cleanouts, and demolition throughout Southington, from downtown and the Queen Street corridor to Plantsville, Milldale, Marion, and the hillside neighborhoods around Mount Vernon. We quote the whole job on-site before anything moves, clear it in one trip when we can, and rake the spot clean afterward. Licensed, insured, family-owned, seven days a week.
We price by how much room your load takes in the truck, and you approve that number on-site before we begin. It runs from a minimum charge for a few items up to a full truck load for a whole property, with most Southington garage, shed, or basement jobs in between. There is no hourly clock, and in this town that is the part worth understanding. Southington lots are big. The shed is often a hundred feet from where the truck can park, downhill, across grass. On an hourly model, that walk is your expense. Here it isn’t, because the number was fixed before we picked anything up.
Most of what we clear in Southington was never inside the house. It’s in the detached garage, the shed, the pole barn, or under a tarp beside the driveway, and it accumulated across two or three owners.
A typical Southington property clearing includes:
If the structure itself is finished, we don’t just empty it. We take it down and haul the debris in the same visit. Our garage cleanout service covers the clearing side, and the teardown runs through the same crew on the same day.
We take furniture and appliances, electronics and e-waste, construction and demolition debris, yard waste including brush and stumps, 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 don’t take car batteries, propane tanks, vehicles, wet paint, motor oil, chemicals and solvents, asbestos, biohazard or medical waste, firearms, boats, or pianos. Southington’s rural edge makes that list specific: barns around Marion routinely hold tractor fluids, old pesticides, and gas cans, and those need a household hazardous waste collection. Everything sitting next to them, we’ll load.
Plantsville and Milldale are full of houses that have stayed with one family for generations, and clearing one is rarely just a house. It’s the house, the garage, the shed, and whatever’s under the deck.
You don’t have to sort anything first, and you don’t have to be there. We take it all, set aside what can be donated, and work at whatever pace the family sets. We coordinate with estate sale companies and realtors when a closing date is driving the calendar. Our estate cleanout service covers the whole property, including the outbuildings that a moving company won’t touch.
We hold a general contractor license, so demolition is our own crew rather than a subcontractor. Shed and barn teardowns, deck removals, garage demolition, fence pulls, driveway breakouts, and interior gutouts all include the debris haul as part of the job instead of a second contract you have to arrange.
On Southington’s larger lots the first question is always access. We map the equipment route before anything comes down, protect the lawn and any septic field, and keep the drive clear. We advise on town permits and coordinate with the building department where the scope requires it.
We’re family-owned, based in Hartford County, and we hold a 5-star rating on Google across more than 270 reviews. Troy runs the company and stays directly involved in the jobs. We arrive inside the window we gave you, we quote before we load, and we don’t leave ruts in the lawn or a mess where the pile used to be.
Need junk removal in Southington? 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 Southington seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, with same-day availability when slots are open. Our crews cover the whole town, downtown, Plantsville, Milldale, Marion, Mount Vernon, and the neighborhoods around Panthorn Park and Crescent Lake, 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 begin.
Our general contracting license covers demolition, flooring, drywall, siding, painting, and full kitchen and bath renovation for Southington homeowners. When clearing a space turns into rebuilding it, the same company handles both ends, from tearing out the old deck to framing the new one. One point of contact, one crew, free estimate for any scope.
Southington runs from the older village centers of Plantsville and Milldale out to the newer subdivisions on the western hills and the farmland around Marion. Lots here are generous by central Connecticut standards, which means the accumulation lands in detached garages, backyard sheds, pole barns, and under decks rather than in a cellar.

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!"

We price by truck space and give you a firm quote on-site before work starts. On Southington's larger Marion and Mount Vernon lots, the cost depends on whether you're clearing a detached garage, a pole barn, or both, plus whatever's under the deck. We map the equipment route before anything moves, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
Yes. We hold a general contractor license, so we take the structure down and haul the debris in the same visit rather than emptying it and leaving the frame standing. Sheds, pole barns, decks, above-ground pools, fences, and detached garages all fall under that. On the larger Marion and Mount Vernon lots we plan the equipment route first so the lawn and septic field stay intact. Call (860) 503-9062 for a free walkthrough.
Almost everything, but a few categories carry a recycling fee on top of the load, and this is the part people want in writing. Tires, mattresses, e-waste and freon appliances all cost extra to route properly, so we name that fee out loud during the estimate rather than adding it once the truck is packed. Old paint, solvents and pool chemicals from a Marion garage we cannot take at all, and we will tell you that at the walkthrough.
Yes. Same-day and next-day slots are often open across Southington, from downtown and the Queen Street corridor out to Plantsville, Milldale, and Marion. Call and we can usually confirm a crew that day. We serve Southington seven days a week, 7am to 10pm, with a two-hour arrival window instead of an all-day range. Call (860) 503-9062 or book online.
We're family-owned, licensed, and insured, with a 5-star rating on Google. In Plantsville and Milldale, where village-centre lots are tight and street parking limits truck staging, we plan the equipment route to protect your lawn and keep the driveway clear for other traffic. Because we are a licensed general contractor, a shed teardown and the debris haul are one job at one price rather than two bookings. One point of contact from estimate through cleanup.
