Glass Removal In NYC
Broken, cracked, or unwanted glass can quickly turn from a minor inconvenience into a safety concern. Whether it is a shattered window, a damaged glass table, a broken mirror, or piles of leftover glass from a renovation, dealing with sharp, heavy pieces is something most people prefer not to handle alone.
Lightning Junk Removal provides glass removal services throughout the greater NYC area, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Riverdale, and nearby local areas such as Astoria, Bushwick, Harlem, Yonkers, Mamaroneck, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Elmont, and more.
Glass appears in many forms across apartments, townhomes, commercial spaces, and multi-unit buildings. This includes glass doors, shelving, storefront windows, glass panes, shower enclosures, tabletops, glass furniture, and decorative panels. When these items break or need replacement, our glass removal service helps protect residents, customers, and property.
Glass is heavy, sharp, and difficult to transport. Instead of bagging it up, carrying it through halls, or loading it into a small vehicle, you can rely on us to handle the job from start to finish. In some situations, curbside pickup may also be possible.
Why Professional Glass Removal Matters
Removing or transporting large or broken glass on your own can be risky. Here is why many NYC homeowners, tenants, landlords, and property managers choose our service:
1. Safety First
Broken glass can cause serious injuries if not handled properly. Even intact pieces, including tempered glass, may have small cracks or sharp edges that make them dangerous to lift. Our crew arrives with proper tools, protective gear, and handling techniques for:
- Broken or shattered window glass and glass panes
- Cracked or damaged glass doors and storm door panels
- Glass tabletops and shelving
- Glass furniture and decorative panels
- Mirrors and mirrored closet doors
- Shower doors and bath enclosures
We work to minimize hazards, contain debris, and reduce the risk of cuts or injuries during removal and hauling.
2. No Heavy Lifting or Awkward Carrying
Large glass items are difficult to grip, carry, and maneuver through stairwells, halls, or elevators. Even intact panels can be heavy. When you call us, we handle all lifting, loading, and hauling. You do not need to carry glass through your building or into a vehicle, and you avoid the risk of damaging floors, walls, or door frames.
3. Ideal for Tight NYC Spaces
NYC buildings often have narrow staircases, tight corridors, shared lobbies, and busy sidewalks. Moving glass safely requires planning. We are familiar with these layouts and can coordinate the safest route out of your unit or workspace while respecting building rules and common areas.
4. Convenient for Renovations, Cleanouts, and Small Glass Items
Our service supports situations such as:
- Apartment renovations
- Office remodels
- Storefront updates
- Move-outs and cleanouts
- Property management turnovers
We not only remove large pieces. Smaller items – such as glass jars, bottles, and household glass – are handled as well. If broken or outdated glass is accumulating during a project, we can remove it so the space stays clear and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to clean up the broken glass before we arrive?
No. You do not need to clean up the glass yourself. We are equipped to collect and contain shattered or loose pieces. You can reduce risk by keeping people and pets away until we arrive.
Can we remove large, intact glass items like doors or table tops?
Yes. We remove large intact items such as sliding doors, storm door panels, tabletops, mirrors, and shower doors. We assess size, weight, and access and handle the item safely. Some pieces may be taken apart for safer removal.
Do we handle small items like glass jars or bottles?
Yes. We can remove smaller glass items along with larger ones. When possible, suitable items may be routed to recycling facilities.
Do we remove auto glass or car window pieces?
Yes, as long as the automotive glass has already been removed from the vehicle. We do not perform auto repair, but we can haul away stored auto glass, loose pieces, or quarter glass removal scraps.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the number and type of glass items, whether they are broken or intact, access difficulty, and whether other junk is being removed. We provide on-site pricing before any work begins. For more details, you can call 718-737-7161 or request information when scheduling.
