About us

I usually work alone. Fee is $80 per half-ton pick-up truck load, plus the discard fees (known as "tipping fees.") For example, a couch costs $9 to discard at the Glastonbury Transfer Station. I can give an estimate over the phone, to be fine-tuned in person. I may charge a bit more for " the long carry" i.e. many trips to the attic of a colonial home .

You can't find a nicer and kinder gentleman to help you out when the going get's tough. He can find a way to put more things in his truck than you could possibly imagine. Always on time and get's the job done in a blink. I can highly recommend him!

He arrived five minutes early!! He loaded the truck to overflowing (we had too much junk), and was very helpful and professional. The price was fair, the time spent was brief, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Paul showed up on short notice and on time. He was very cordial and did a good job removing some nasty junk.

First of all - Paul is honest.
I had called another "A" graded organization from Angie's list and was told that there would be an additional $30 "environmental" fee per mattress and per box spring.  I asked Paul if he charged extra for mattress and box spring disposal and he told me that transfer stations in CT no longer charge fees to dispose of mattresses.
Second - Paul is punctual.
He was waiting for me when I arrived.  I was on time and Paul was early.
Third - Paul is professional.
Prior to meeting, I explained what needed to be moved and where it was located in the house.  Paul said it would take him 2 trips.  I told him that I had very limited time during the day.  Paul took all the furniture out of the house first so I didn't have to wait around.  I paid him before he left with the first load, which was a risk.  When I returned, all the furniture had been removed.  Again - very honest.
Fourth - Paul is local.
Paul is a local businessman and I think we should all support our local entrepreneurs over the big name companies. 
So, if you need help cleaning anything out of your house, Better Call Paul!

The garage was quite disgusting and Paul had to work around a large classic car that did not run and could not be removed for the clean out. He worked diligently and methodically.  I was very impressed and I will DEFINITELY use him again.   It took 5 truckloads at $80 per truck and I had $36 in tipping fees.  For the job I had I thought it was very reasonable.  I think that if I had gotten a dumpster and done it myself  it probably would have run in the ballpark of what I paid   . Thanks, Paul!

Paul was professional, prompt, and his pick-up truck was the perfect size for the amount of trash I had accumulated.  Much cheaper and much faster turnaround than getting a dumpster.  I have more to clear from my basement, and I look forward to hiring him again.

"[Member Name Removed]- A late thank you for your kind review is long overdue. I appreciate you nice comments. Best regards, Paul"

It went very well. Paul and his helper showed up right on time. Quickly and carefully loaded all items for a reasonable price. Paul is a pleasure to work with and will be my first choice for this work in future.

Great job,  Paul showed up on time, did the job well.  Nice guy to talk to.  Very careful not to nick the walls, etc.  We will definitely be using him in the future.

Quick response to inquiry and good price. Very nice and professional guy. The price is approximate as we contracted with him quite awhile ago and can't remember the exact price but it was very reasonable. Will definitely use him again.

Called and made an appointment to have a king size mattress removed and the base of our son's basketball basket which had to be replaced after it leaked. We had everything waiting for them on the driveway. (It was too big for our vehicles.) A husband and wife showed up promptly and did a quick job.

Paul was excellent --friendly, honest, hard-working. We were under serious time constraints, and he had the house broom clean on time. I was totally impressed by his reliability and intelligence. He documented each dump run, each problem faced, and communicated well. He works alone, so I was worried he would get done in time. (I live too far away to have been there every day). But he did it. The biggest issue was the pile of hazardous household waste. The dump wouldn't take it, and the buyer wouldn't let us keep it there until the next haz-mat day. With Paul's help, we were finally able to reduce the pile and get rid of it. Paul's most exceptional quality is his sensitivity. He understands old houses and old people and the relationship between junk and lives lived. We were lucky to find him.

it was a fine transaction overall. Mr. Fitzpatrick  returns calls promptly, arrives on time, bills honestly, and returns as scheduled to complete the job as agreed.

Fantastic. We are seniors and wanted someone to do the work rather than fill a dumpster ourselves. I got three quotes. Paul was in the middle, but what I liked about him was his honesty and that he separated materials. In a small town, that's important. He went out of his way to accommodate us. We left our home for vacation with at least ten truckloads left in garage and basement. His parting words were "don't worry, it will all be done." The place was spotless (we're trying to sell our home); he even swept out the garage/basement. Everything was gone. He gave us complete peace of mind.
