Junk removal · Oneonta, NY 13820

Clear the pile, keep the hills clean.

Bear Junk Solutions is a local crew in the City of the Hills. You point at what has to leave. We quote it, load it, and take it the legal way — donate and recycle first, county facilities after that.

  • Price locked before we loadContingent on an in-person evaluation
  • We come inside — stairs included
  • Licensed and Insured

How it works

Four steps. No runaround.

Most jobs around here are the same story: a porch, a basement, a rental that has to turn over. You show us the pile. We give you a number. We do the lifting.

1

Tell us what’s going

A short list, a few photos, and the address. Stairs, tight drives, and low ceiling basements help us quote it right.

2

Get a clear price

Photos help us show up ready. We price the job in person after we see the pile — then lock it before we load.

3

We load and haul

Garage, attic, basement, or the spare room. You don’t have to drag it to the curb.

4

You get the room back

Items are first recycled or donated if applicable. The landfill is last.

This town

Built for Oneonta, not a call center.

Home base is 13820 — brick downtown, two colleges, old houses on the hills, and rentals that empty in mid-May. We know the stairs, the narrow drives, and the barns off the state road.

  • SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick move-outs
  • Cooperstown and Otsego Lake cottages
  • Estate, garage, and landlord turnovers
  • Shed and basement cleanouts, and green waste removal

What we haul

From one couch to a full cleanout.

If it isn’t barred by New York or Otsego County, and we can move it safely, we can most likely take it. If we can’t, we say so before we drive over.

Household junk

Boxes, leftover move piles, and the stuff sitting in a spare room or porch.

Furniture, mattresses & pianos

Couches, dressers, tables, chairs, bedroom sets, mattresses, and piano removals.

Appliances

Washers, dryers, stoves, cooling units, etc. Freon appliances are quoted so refrigerant can be handled legally.

Cleanouts

Garages, attics, basements, student rentals, and estate or property cleanouts.

Remodel leftover

Drywall, lumber, carpet, cabinets, and debris we can load.

TVs & electronics

TVs, computers, and monitors — we can take them, but they have to be recycled.

Outdoor items

Grills, storm leftovers, hot tubs, sheds, decks, bagged leaves, and green waste. We don’t drop trees.

New York & Otsego County

We stay inside the lines.

Otsego County’s Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Law requires commercial haulers to keep recyclables out of the trash and deliver to county-designated facilities. New York bans household hazardous waste and covered electronics from the regular dump. We work to those rules. We do not invent license numbers on this site, and we will not take an item we cannot legally move.

On the trailer

  • Household junk, furniture, mattresses, pianos
  • Appliances, including cooling units quoted separately
  • Garage, attic, basement, and rental cleanouts
  • Remodel leftover we can load by hand
  • Outdoor junk and green waste with a legal drop
  • TVs, computers, and monitors — recycled, not dumped

Off the trailer

  • Wet paint, solvents, fuels, oils, pesticides, antifreeze
  • Medical waste, sharps, and leftover medicine
  • Asbestos — NYSDEC, certified abatement only
  • Propane and other pressurized tanks
  • Electronics dumped as trash

County Household Hazardous Waste Day is the legal path for most chemicals — typically August. We can take TVs and covered electronics, but they have to be recycled.
