Why Us
Why use Trash Can Willy's in Amherst
We are a local, veteran-owned junk removal company, A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau and 17+ years in business. Here is what that means on an Amherst job.
Professional junk removal and property cleanouts in Amherst
This is full-service hauling for busy homeowners and businesses: unwanted items, heavy debris and accumulated clutter, with straightforward pricing. Whether you need construction materials picked up, the basement cleaned of junk or the garage junk finally emptied out, we can accommodate it, and we can remove anything from couches to computers, tires and appliances. Single items start at $35 and we take it from wherever it sits.
Experienced local crews, and the largest trucks in New England
Our experienced local crews handle the work carefully and responsibly from start to finish. Two or three trained personnel arrive in uniform inside a two-hour window with a call about 20 minutes ahead, and they watch your corners, your carpets and your floors, which counts for a lot in a Historic District house where the trim is not replaceable. We use the largest trucks in New England, so heavy debris does not turn into a second trip.
We take what the transfer station turns away
The town's station on Route 101 takes Amherst residents only, and only with a valid sticker on the windshield, and it accepts no hazardous waste at all. We bring the truck and the crew to you instead, and the disposal is inside the price we quote you.
Serving Amherst from our Hooksett office
Amherst is run out of our Hooksett branch, southwest through Manchester and Bedford and then west on Route 101. We show up on time, we clean up after ourselves and we offer professional service for the best price you will find. Up to 85% of the load is recycled or donated instead of dumped, and anything we can resell or donate is discounted off the job.
Priced on the work, not the air in the truck
Most junk removal companies charge by how much truck space you use. Bricks or feathers, packed tight or full of air, you can pay the same simply because it takes up the same space. We price the actual job: weight, labor, difficulty and access. And our trucks are huge. Three of many competitors' trucks can fit inside one of ours, which means fewer trips to unload, less time spent dumping and lower costs we can pass on to our customers. Your price is approved before anything moves and doesn't change afterward. Plus, we beat any written quote.
Local. Veteran-owned. No franchise fees.
Steve built Trash Can Willy's on the same principles he learned in the military: show up when we say we will, honor our quote, communicate clearly and leave your property better than we found it. We're local, not a franchise. No call centers, corporate runaround or franchise fees built into your price. We're BBB A+ Accredited, licensed and insured, and a portion of every job supports Wounded Warrior Family Support. Fair pricing. Great communication. No stress. Just a job done right.

Great experience every time we use Trash Can Willy's. The guys showed up on time and were very polite and personable. They managed to pack 30 years of junk into one truck with no room to spare!

FAQ
Questions we get about junk removal in Amherst
How much does junk removal in Amherst cost?
Single items start at $35, and $40 comes off any job above that. Past that we price the job itself: what it weighs, the labor it takes, how difficult it is and how hard it is to get to. Anything we can resell, donate or recycle comes off that price, and we beat any written quote you already have in hand.
What do you take in Amherst?
You name it, we take it. Furniture, appliances, electronics, household clutter, yard debris, construction debris, hot tubs, sheds, pianos and the whole contents of a basement, garage or attic. The rule of thumb is simple: if two or three strong guys can lift it, it goes on the truck. The short list we cannot take is hazardous: wet paint, gasoline and other fuels, solvents and propane tanks.
Do you recycle and donate?
Yes, up to 85 percent of what we haul. Usable furniture and household goods go to donation partners, metal goes to scrap and electronics go to a certified recycler. If something coming out of your house still has resale value we take a discount off your price for it, and sometimes we even buy your junk.
Do you do full house cleanouts in Amherst?
Yes, and they are a large part of what we do. Estates, foreclosures, evictions, hoarding situations, move-outs and downsizing, plus the basement, attic or garage on its own. We are the professional experts on cleanouts, hot tubs, sheds and pianos. Where we can we clear the whole property in one visit, sweep it, and send photos when it is empty. Around Amherst it is often an older house in the Historic District.
My house is in the Historic District. Will you protect the woodwork?
Yes. Old doorways are narrow and the trim is not replaceable, so we take pieces apart before they come through rather than forcing them, and we watch your corners, your carpets and your floors on the way out. If something genuinely will not fit we tell you before we start, not halfway down the stairs.
How soon can you get to Amherst?
Same-day or next-day is often possible. Amherst is served from our Hooksett office, so it is a regular run for us rather than a special trip.
How do you quote a job?
Call or text 603-490-2177 with a description or a few photos and we give you a price range on the spot. That phone quote is our best guess, not a binding number. When the crew arrives they look at the job and confirm the exact price before any work starts. Once you approve it, it does not change. For big jobs and full cleanouts we come out for a free on-site estimate, Monday to Friday 9 to 5.
Do you beat other quotes?
Yes. Bring us any written estimate from another company and we beat it by up to 10%. And every week we draw one customer's completed job and refund it in full, so keep your receipt.
Do I need to be home?
Not if we can get to the stuff. Plenty of jobs are booked by phone, hauled while you're at work, and closed out with photos and a card payment. If access is tight or you want to point at things yourself, be there and we'll walk it with you.
When will you actually show up?
You get a two-hour arrival window and a courtesy call about 20 minutes out, so you're not sitting around all day. Most single-item pickups are done inside an hour of the truck arriving.
What won't you take?
Hazardous waste is the short list: wet paint or stain, gasoline and other flammable liquids loose in cans or drums, propane tanks, solvents, acids, antifreeze, motor oil, asbestos and medical waste. A mower, generator or snow blower with fuel or oil still in it is fine: we drain it as part of the job. Fully dried latex paint is fine. Everything else, if two people can lift it and it fits in the truck, we take it.
How do I pay, and how does the $40 off work?
Credit, debit, cash, or estate, certified and business checks. No personal checks. You get an emailed receipt before the truck leaves. Mention the coupon when you book any job and we take $40 off the quoted price, one per job.
