About Diesel Garbage & Junk Removal
Professional. Reliable. Built to Handle the Mess — Project After Project.
Diesel Garbage & Junk Removal was founded on years of hard work, discipline, and a commitment to getting the job done right. What started as hands-on experience in construction and site management has evolved into a powerhouse in garbage and junk removal across NYC and the Tri-State area.
We specialize in full-service garbage and junk removal, including debris cleanup, hoarding cleanouts, construction site clearing, and disaster response. We don’t rent dumpsters. We show up ready — trucks, crew, and equipment — and clear it out fast.
Diesel is proud to be the exclusive junk removal and debris partner of D. Lamas Construction, a leading demolition and construction company led by Dafne Lamas, with projects spanning commercial and residential builds throughout the region.
D. Lamas handles demolition and construction. Diesel handles the mess that comes after. Together, we streamline job sites and pave the way for fresh starts — one teardown and cleanup at a time.
