The Bronx pattern

Hauling in The Bronx, in practice.

The Bronx mixes leafy single-family Riverdale — Tudors, slate walks, big lawns — with dense walk-up cleanouts in Mott Haven and Fordham. Pelham Bay and Throgs Neck homes have full driveways and back yards on the water side; City Island is its own thing with cottage-style homes.

Single-family Tudors and stone colonials in Riverdale; pre-war walk-ups in Mott Haven and Fordham; capes and split-levels in Pelham Bay and Throgs Neck.

Newark to the Bronx is roughly 18 miles via I-95 and the GW Bridge — 35 to 50 minutes off-peak.

Hauling questions

Common hauling questions.

What can't you take?

Hazardous waste — paint, motor oil, propane tanks, batteries, asbestos, anything labeled corrosive or flammable. NJ DEP and NYC DSNY have specific drop-off rules for those (we can point you to the nearest center). Everything else fair game: furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris, yard waste.

Do you charge by the cubic yard or per item?

Neither. We bill the same flat $50/hr per person — same as every other Brick City Labor job. The "per cubic yard" scheme used by national chains usually means you pay for empty space in their truck. We just count the time it takes and the dump fee, which is included.

Can you haul it on the same day I call?

Often, yes — if the truck has space and the schedule has a slot. Single-piece hauls inside Newark or Jersey City usually fit same-evening. Bigger cleanouts get booked 2–3 days out so we can plan the truck rotation.

What about appliances with refrigerant — fridges, freezers, AC units?

Yes. We haul them. EPA rules require a certified tech to drain the refrigerant before scrapping; we coordinate that step with our metal scrapper, and the cost is included in the hourly. You don’t need to do anything beyond pointing at it.
