Junk & Rubbish Removal in Connecticut
The low-cost way to clear out junk, garbage, and cleanouts: we drop a roll-off container, you fill it on your schedule, and we haul it all away. Family-owned since 1982.
When a garage, basement, attic, or whole estate is buried under years of accumulated stuff, hiring an hourly crew to pick through it gets expensive fast. A roll-off container is the practical alternative: Associated Refuse Haulers drops a container in your driveway, you load junk, garbage, and rubbish at your own pace, and we haul it all away in one trip. No per-item charges, no clock running while you decide what to keep.
We handle junk and garbage removal across Fairfield County, Western New Haven County, and Lower Litchfield County from our Monroe, CT headquarters — household clutter, old furniture and mattresses, appliances, renovation debris, yard and storm debris, and the full contents of a garage, basement, attic, or estate cleanout. Containers range from a compact 4-yard up to a 30-yard for the biggest jobs, and a 10 or 20 yard handles most household cleanouts.
Owner Pat Caruso has run Associated Refuse since 1982 — 44 years serving Connecticut homeowners, landlords, and property managers. You get fast, often same-week delivery, a free quote up front, no hidden fees, and a local company that answers its own phone. Call 203-426-8870 to schedule junk removal.

Junk Removal FAQs
How does junk removal with a roll-off container work?
Instead of paying an hourly crew to pick through your belongings, we drop a roll-off container in your driveway, you load it at your own pace, and we haul it away in one trip. It is the most cost-effective way to clear out a garage, basement, estate, or a whole house of accumulated junk and rubbish. Call 203-426-8870 to set it up.
What is the difference between junk removal and a dumpster rental?
They are the same service framed two ways. A roll-off "dumpster" is simply the container we use for junk, garbage, and rubbish removal. You fill it on your own schedule — there is no crew and no per-item charge — which is why a container is usually the lower-cost choice for a full cleanout.
What junk can I put in the container?
General household junk, old furniture and mattresses, appliances, renovation debris, yard and storm debris, and the contents of a garage, basement, attic, or estate cleanout. The main exclusion is hazardous waste — paint, chemicals, propane, asbestos, and the like. Let us know what you are clearing out and we will recommend the right size.
What size container do I need for a junk removal or cleanout?
Most household junk and cleanout jobs fit a 10 or 20 yard container; we carry 4, 6, 10, 12/15, 20, and 30 yard roll-offs. A single full-room or garage cleanout often needs a 10 yard, while a whole-house or estate cleanout usually calls for a 20 or 30 yard. We help you size it when you call.
Which towns do you serve for junk & garbage removal?
We serve Fairfield County, Western New Haven County, and Lower Litchfield County, CT from our Monroe headquarters — including Newtown, Fairfield, Stamford, Westport, Weston, Easton, Monroe, Sherman, Woodbridge, Prospect, Seymour, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Darien, and the surrounding towns.
How fast can you deliver a junk removal container?
Same-week delivery is typical, and many towns near our Monroe base can be served within a day or two. Call 203-426-8870 with your town and project and we will schedule a drop-off that fits your cleanout.
