Margarum Refuse is a Stamford-based garbage hauler. A justice.gov page says Margarum has owned and operated the business for more than 40 years, providing garbage removal for customers in the Stamford area and parts of Westchester County, New York. A 2025 customer said the company offered once- and twice-a-week pickup schedules and would grab the bin from down the driveway if needed. A 2024 customer said they had been with the company for over six years and their trash was picked up every week. That 2024 customer also said that when they went away on vacation, the trash was picked up from their driveway. A 2022 customer in North Stamford said a raccoon destroyed their garbage and their "garbage-guy cleaned up the mess" before hauling the trash away. The company has a criminal case in its past. A stamfordadvocate.com report says police charged two owners of the company on May 31, 2012 with first-degree larceny for allegedly defrauding the city out of more than $300,000 in tipping fees at the city scale house. Another stamfordadvocate.com report names Wayne Margarum Sr. and Wayne Margarum Jr. as the two charged, alleging $332,116 since 2007.
“Police later charged Wayne Margarum Sr. and Wayne Margarum Jr., of Stamford-based Margarum Refuse, with felony larceny, alleging they had defrauded the city out of $332,116 since 2007.”
“One of the two Margarum Refuse trucks seized by Stamford police in April 2012.”
“Police charged two owners of the company Thursday, May 31, 2012 with first-degree larceny for allegedly defrauding the city out of more than $300,000 in tipping fees at the city scale house on Harborview Avenue.”
“for more than 40 years, Margarum has owned and operated Margarum Refuse, providing garbage removal services for customers in the Stamford area and parts of Westchester County, New York.”
Easy to work with, prompt, and reliable. They offer once- and twice-a-week pickup schedules, and will even grab the bin from down your driveway if you need. Recommended without reservations
Dependability and service are excellent
I've been with Wayne S. Margarum Refuse Collecting for over six years, and I've got to say, they've never let me down. Every single week, without fail, they've been there to pick up my trash. It's hard to find companies you can rely on like that. Their prices are fair, which means a lot. You know you're getting a good deal for what you pay. The trash can they give you is big too, so you don't have to worry about running out of space for your garbage each week. The people at Wayne S. Margarum are really friendly. They never make a big deal about what you're throwing out. When we go away on vacation, they even go the extra mile to pick up our trash from our driveway so we don't have to drag the can to the curb, and we get curb side pick up. It's those little things that make a big difference. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about them. If you're looking for a garbage service that's reliable, affordable, and run by nice people, you should definitely check out Wayne S. Margarum Refuse Collecting. I highly recommend them to everyone. They are AMAZING!!
We have been using this company for many years in North Stamford. They’re very responsive and always on time. We had a raccoon destroy our garbage and our garbage-guy cleaned up the mess for us before hauling the trash away! Highly recommend!
