Junk Removal on the
Upper East Side

When you book and tell us your building (e.g., "910 Fifth Avenue" or "455 East 86th Street"), we pull the building's managing agent from our records, email the COI naming them as additional insured, and copy you. Most managing agents respond within 24 hours for established UES properties; some same-day. Once approved, the building's super or resident manager assigns the service-elevator slot directly to us.

Yes. Multi-day estate clearouts of long-occupied UES apartments are a routine job for us. Typical process: day 1 walk-through with the executor or family member to identify what's being kept, donated (we can coordinate Housing Works or similar), or discarded; day 2-3 actual clearout work; final day for any white-glove touches. We've handled apartments with antique furniture, original art, fur coats, china, and decades of personal correspondence. Estate auction houses can be coordinated separately.

Doorman-building pickups are usually 24-48 hours minimum because of the COI + slot-booking process. Walk-up apartments east of Second can be same-day if booked before noon. If you're in a hurry on a doorman building, call us — sometimes the building can expedite, especially in non-busy seasons.

Yes. We can issue COIs with custom additional-insured language, including the building entity, managing agent, and any "and its agents and assigns" wording your building requires. Our broker can have custom COIs generated within a few hours. The $1M GL + $2M umbrella covers virtually every UES building's requirements.

Yes — every pre-war co-op from 60th to 96th Street requires this, no exceptions. Standard requirements: $1M general liability, $2M umbrella, building entity + managing agent named as additional insureds. We carry both, and the COI is emailed to your managing agent within an hour of booking. Most UES managing agents (Brown Harris Stevens, Halstead, Corcoran Sunshine, Douglas Elliman, Cooper Cooper, Andrews) we've worked with before — paperwork moves fast.

After the COI is approved, the building's super or resident manager assigns you a service-elevator slot. UES standard windows are weekday mornings (8-11 AM) and afternoons (1-4 PM); weekend slots are rare and usually limited to one Saturday per month. We schedule the crew arrival to match your slot — there's no waiting in the lobby.

Estate clearouts are our largest UES job type. Pre-war 3-bedroom apartments that haven't been touched in 30-50 years — full of antique furniture, decades of paperwork, fur coats, china, art, fixtures from the original build. We handle them respectfully, in stages, with the family or executor present. Standard estate job runs 1-3 days depending on the apartment size and what's being kept versus discarded.

UES base pricing matches the rest of Manhattan ($75 minimum, $148 couch, $126 mattress) but the building coordination adds time. Doorman buildings with smooth service-elevator coordination price at our standard rate. Buildings that require Saturday-only slots or extensive insurance paperwork may carry a coordination surcharge. Most don't.

Yes. We work with families and executors regularly to separate items being kept, items being donated (we can coordinate Housing Works or Sotheby's pickups separately), and items being discarded. Antique furniture gets blanket-wrapped before the carry. Our crews are experienced around art and high-value items — and yes, we use service elevators, not the main lobby.
