Services In Queens

The job types Queens sends our way match its mix of rowhouses, multi-family buildings, and commercial corridors. Each service includes full loading and cleanup, so the driveway, sidewalk, or loading area is left clear.

Furniture removal – Sofas, beds, and dining sets are heavy and awkward to move out of a two-family home or a walk-up. We carry each piece out and haul it away safely.

Basement cleanouts – Stored furniture, old appliances, and boxes pile up below ground across the borough. We clear them out so the basement is usable again.

Attic cleanouts – Years of kept items come down and out in a single trip in the borough’s older homes.

Appliance removal – Dead refrigerators, washers, dryers, and stoves are heavy and hard to move alone. We do the lifting and hauling from kitchens and basements.

Apartment and move-out cleanouts – From walk-up flats to the towers in Long Island City and Flushing, unit turnovers are steady work here. We clear units and leave them ready for the next tenant.

Commercial and warehouse cleanouts – Queens hold some of the city’s busiest industrial streets. We clear shops, garages, and warehouses of old shelving, pallets, and fixtures.

Why Queens Customers Choose Us

We are a locally owned crew based in the Bronx, not a franchise with a call center. We are licensed and insured in New York City under BIC-500611, and we quote an upfront price before any work starts, so the cost is set before the truck arrives. You deal directly with the people doing the job.

Junk Removal Details For Queens

Queens is the city’s largest borough, and the range of buildings here is wider than anywhere else. The residential streets are filled with detached single-family homes, two-family houses, rowhouses, and attached housing, most with basements, attics, and garages right off the sidewalk. Around Long Island City and downtown Flushing, newer apartment towers and mid-rises run on elevator schedules, and many need freight time or a move-in form arranged with management before we load. Walk-ups in the older neighborhoods get the full carry-down treatment, and we expect a clear path through hallways and landings.

Street parking is the norm for most pickups, and driveways tend to be short. Let us know whether you have a driveway, garage, or a nearby lot so we position the truck close to the door without blocking the narrow streets. On the industrial side of the borough, loading docks and gates need to be open and clear, and some businesses ask us to work around their hours so a pickup does not block the entrance. Property owners use us for estate and move-out cleanouts, and managers of the two-family buildings and apartment towers call for unit turnovers a room at a time. For the neighborhood-specific details, see our Astoria, Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Maspeth pages.Skip

Crews coordinate with residents and property managers for stair‑carry work and curbside pickups; hazardous waste is not accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you carry items out of a two-family home or a walk-up in Queens? 
Yes. Our crews take everything downstairs themselves. Tell us whether the unit has a front door, a side entrance, or a rear exit, and we will plan the carry route so we avoid blocking your neighbors.

How do pickups work in apartment towers in Long Island City and Flushing? 
In high-rise buildings we coordinate with management and book freight elevator time when it is needed. Confirm whether your building asks for an elevator reservation or a move-in form, and we will schedule the pickup around it.

Where should I stage items for pickup in Queens? 
A driveway or garage gives us the easiest access. On the residential streets, let us know your block so we position the truck where it will not block traffic. For warehouse and industrial jobs, make sure gates and docks are open at pickup time.

How do I schedule a junk removal pickup in Queens? 
Call 718-737-7161 Monday through Saturday from 9am to 8pm, or Sunday from 10am to 6pm. You can also use our online contact form and we will follow up to lock in a time.

What happens to the items you remove? 
We haul everything to proper disposal. Whenever an item is still usable, we aim to keep it out of the landfill through donation. We do not accept hazardous waste or materials that need special handling.

Google Review

“Working with Lightening Junk Removal was a stress free, wonderful experience. Angel and his team were professional and polite. I hired them to remove an old metal shed full of junk from water damage. They went above and beyond to clean everything from the backyard, to the pathway on the side of the house, the front stairs and the side walk. They were absolutely meticulous! The name is also very accurate as they were “lightning”fast! I was given an “arrival window” between 9 am and 11, but they arrived shortly after 9 and were done by 11 allowing me to enjoy the rest of my day. I highly recommend this company!”
