Why Us

Why Use Trash Can Willy's in Tewksbury

The cellar, the garage and the shed out back can all go the same afternoon, for one price you approve before anything moves. Here is what people here call us for.

No job is too large or small

No job is too large or small, you name it we take it all, and you just point while we remove it from where it sits. General junk, clutter, furniture, televisions and appliances are the everyday list here. A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, licensed and insured.

We do the cellar, the garage and the shed in one afternoon

The town caps a bulk pickup at four items and states in bold that the free ones are not for cleanouts. There is no municipal transfer station or resident drop-off here either, so there is no gate to drive a load to. The cellar, the garage and the shed out back are one job for us, in one afternoon.

Sometimes we even buy your junk

Some of what is going out carries resale value, and where it does we discount the job for taking it. It is like we are buying the junk from you, and no other company does this. The crew separates what you are keeping, applies the discount for what we can resell or recycle, and walks you through the cleared space before it leaves.

The largest trucks, fewer dump trips, lower prices

We use the largest trucks in New England, which means fewer trips to the dump and lower labor costs, and that saving goes to you. Up to 85% of each load we haul away is recycled or donated, so we are not paying to dump it and you are not paying for that either. Two or three of us come depending on the size of the job, and we watch your corners, your carpets and your floors on the way out.

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.

Service Areas

The Tewksbury neighborhoods we cover

We cover the whole town: North Tewksbury up on Andover Street, Tewksbury Center where Route 38 meets East, North and Pleasant Streets, and South Tewksbury down to the Wilmington line. Tewksbury is a regular run for us, not a special trip, and the same trucks work Lowell, Billerica, Wilmington, Andover and Dracut through the week, so a job that straddles a town line is still one job.

This route now runs out of our Lawrence office, and it covers more than Tewksbury: Amesbury, Lowell, Lawrence, Dracut, Billerica, Haverhill, Burlington, Wilmington, Reading, North Reading, Andover, North Andover, Stoneham, Danvers, Chelmsford and North Chelmsford.

Zip codes we cover in Tewksbury: 01876.

FAQ

Questions we get about junk removal in Tewksbury

What changes the price of a cleanout here?

Four things: what the load weighs, how long it takes, how hard it is to get to and how far it has to travel to the truck. A cellar with twenty years in it costs more than a spare room, and a turn on the stairs is real labor we would rather quote than discover. Single items start at $35, $40 comes off any job above that, and the crew confirms the number before we lift anything.

How do you guess the price over the phone?

We ask what you have and what it will take to get it out, room by room, and then we give you a number. That number is our best guess, not a binding price. The crew looks at the job before anything moves and confirms the exact price on the spot, and once you approve it, it does not change unless you add to the pile. We price on what the load weighs, the labor it takes, how hard it is to reach and how far it has to travel to the truck. We never price it on how much room it fills in a truck.

Do you offer a veterans discount?

Yes, we also offer veterans discounts. We are veteran-owned ourselves. Tell us when you book and we take it off the quoted price.

Do you take appliances and renovation debris?

Yes, and usually in the same load. Fridges, freezers, washers, dryers, water heaters and air conditioners go on the truck alongside the furniture, and so does the debris from a bathroom gut, a kitchen tear-out or an old deck. Our crew loads all of it. The only things we cannot take are the hazardous ones: wet paint and stain, gasoline, propane tanks, solvents, acids, antifreeze and motor oil.

Can you clear a whole house before a closing?

Yes, and we book to your date rather than ours. A house emptied after a move or a death is a bigger job than a room, often more than one truckload, so we say that up front and bring the crew to match. We sort as we load, sweep the rooms before we leave, and can be finished before a walkthrough or a closing that afternoon.

Can your truck get down my street in South Tewksbury?

Yes. The driveways down there are short and soft, so we do not park a loaded 20-foot box truck on one. We carry from the door. Tell us the street when you book.

How fast can you get to Tewksbury?

Tewksbury is dispatched out of our Lawrence office, a short run up Route 133 or I-495, and the same trucks work Wilmington, Andover and Lowell on the same days. Same-day or next-day is often possible.

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.
