Who Does Junk Removal in Lewiston, Maine?
Anthony's Junk Hauling Services offers full-service junk removal in Lewiston, Auburn, Lisbon, Sabattus, and nearby towns. We remove furniture, appliances, construction debris, yard waste, and whole-property cleanout loads. You point, we load, we haul — most jobs are completed same-day or next-day with a free, no-obligation estimate up front.Your Disposal Options in Lewiston-Auburn
Before hiring anyone, it helps to understand what the Twin Cities already offer — and where the gaps are. Lewiston: The city operates a Solid Waste Facility on River Road, where residents can bring bulky waste like old furniture, carpeting, and large appliances. Lewiston offers a resident disposal pass program that waives fees up to a weight limit, but you'll still need a truck or trailer, a free weekday morning, and the ability to load a couch or washing machine yourself. Auburn: Auburn residents are directed to a private waste-to-energy facility on Goldthwaite Road for bulky household items, with fees assessed at the gate based on what you're dumping.Both options work fine for a single small load. Where they fall short is exactly where most people get stuck: heavy items, large volumes, stairs, tight city apartments in downtown Lewiston's triple-deckers, or simply not owning a vehicle that can carry a sectional sofa. That's where full-service hauling earns its keep.
What We Haul in the Lewiston Area
Furniture and Household Junk
Couches, mattresses, dressers, tables, exercise equipment, boxes of accumulated clutter — the everyday items that are too big for the curb and too heavy for one person. Lewiston's older housing stock means a lot of narrow stairwells and third-floor apartments; our crew handles the carrying so you don't risk your back (or your walls).Appliances — Including Freon Units
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant that must be recovered before disposal under federal law. Our appliance removal service handles Freon-containing units properly, along with washers, dryers, stoves, and water heaters. This is one of the most common reasons Lewiston homeowners call us — most disposal sites either charge extra for Freon items or won't accept them without certified recovery.Property Cleanouts
Lewiston and Auburn have one of the highest concentrations of rental housing in Maine, and we work regularly with landlords and property managers turning over units between tenants. Our cleanout services also cover estate cleanouts, basements, attics, and garages — anything from a single room to an entire multi-unit building.Construction and Renovation Debris
Remodeling a kitchen in one of Lewiston's classic New Englanders? We haul drywall, flooring, cabinetry, roofing shingles, and general demo debris. For bigger projects, our light demolition service can take down and remove sheds, decks, and hot tubs entirely.Yard Waste and Storm Debris
Maine weather doesn't go easy on Androscoggin County. After windstorms or heavy winters, we handle yard cleanup — fallen branches, brush piles, leaves, and storm debris that's too much for municipal pickup.How Much Does Junk Removal Cost in Lewiston?
Junk removal in the Lewiston area typically costs $150–$600 depending on load size. A single-item pickup (one couch, one refrigerator) generally runs $100–$175, while a full truckload averages $400–$550. Pricing is based on how much space your items take up in the truck — and every job starts with a free on-site estimate, so you'll know the exact price before we touch anything.For most homeowners, the math is straightforward: once you factor in truck rental or borrowing, disposal fees, fuel, and a half-day of heavy lifting, full-service removal often costs about the same as DIY — without the sore shoulders.
Where Does Your Junk Actually Go?
Not everything we haul ends up in a landfill — and in 2026, it shouldn't. Industry-wide, roughly 70% of materials collected by junk removal services are diverted through recycling and donation, and that's the standard we work toward on every Lewiston job. Usable furniture and household goods go to area donation centers, scrap metal gets recycled, and appliances are processed for refrigerant recovery and metal reclamation. Only what truly can't be reused goes to licensed disposal facilities.Serving Lewiston, Auburn, and All of Southern & Central Maine
