“Sam was great to work with. I had a lot of items that needed to be cleared out, and I simply didn’t have the time to handle it myself. I reached out to Sam, and he responded very quickly. We scheduled a date and time, and he arrived exactly when he said he would. The entire job was completed super fast, with no mess left behind, and he even helped move some furniture. I Highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of his services, and I would absolutely use him again in the future.”

“We are moving and had some paint, furniture stripping chemicals and stains we needed to dispose of. Contacted McWain Hauling via text and they got right back to me. Sam stopped over at the house at the end of his work day to give us a quote. We added in a lot of other items we needed removed. Sam was very professional and gave us a quote. Then said he could take everything right then and there. He quickly loaded up the truck and we were done! Saved us so much time! Thanks Sam! Highly recommend Mcwain Hauling and Junk Removal!”

“Consummate professionals. They stayed in touch, arrived on time, gave me a fair estimate in advance and stuck by it. When their box truck couldn’t get up my hill, they hoofed it in the rain to get the job done, trip after trip with arms full of construction waste, then they stayed to broom-clean the shed they’d cleared out and didn’t ask for an extra penny. These are the ones you want.”

“I can’t recommend McWain Hauling and Junk Removal highly enough. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They responded quickly to my inquiry, showed up right on time, and got straight to work without wasting a minute. What really stood out was how friendly and respectful the team was—they treated my home with care and made sure everything was removed efficiently and cleanly. They even went the extra mile to sweep up afterward, which I didn’t expect but truly appreciated. Their pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises at the end. If you’re looking for reliable, hardworking, and genuinely customer-focused junk removal, this is the company to call. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends and family!”

A family crew with our name on the truck
“The best part is working with family and working for ourselves with our name behind it.”
Sam is a veteran. He works with his dad, Walt, who has worked at the local paper mill for over 40 years, and sometimes his younger brother. They all grew up around here, so a lot of the time the customer already knows Sam's dad, or a friend of a friend.

“McWain Hauling & Junk Removal did an incredible job at my property in Watervliet, NY. I reached out needing a full porch cleanout after years of debris and storage clutter had built up. They showed up same day, driving over an hour away to assist. They cleared everything out quickly, professionally, and then swept out the entire porch. The estimate was fair, the turnaround time was fast, and the effort they put into the job went far beyond what I expected. If you’re searching for junk removal, porch cleanout services, or debris hauling in the Capital Region, McWain Hauling & Junk Removal is the team to call. Highly recommended ! Thank You to the team, especially with such short notice.”

We'll go farther for the right job. We've driven over an hour to Watervliet for a same-day porch cleanout and done a full deck removal in Manchester, Vermont.

It depends on the job, mostly how much there is and what it is. Estimates are free: text us a few photos or we'll stop by. You get a price before we start.
Can I just text you a photo for a price?
Yes. Text a few photos to (518) 338-9205 and tell us where you are.
Can you move what I'm keeping and haul away what I'm not?
Yes. We haul away what's going and move what's staying. Same family, one phone number.

We're based in South Glens Falls and work all around it: Glens Falls, Queensbury, Hudson Falls, Fort Edward, Saratoga Springs, Lake George and Bolton Landing. We'll go farther for the right job. We've driven over an hour to the Capital Region and done a deck removal in southern Vermont.
