The company says it is based out of Portland, CT, and its listed service area includes Middletown, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and Danbury. One recent customer said the Talking Junk guys cleared a garage, attic and shed in an hour and a half and swept up once everything was out. A recent customer said they dismantled a deck, saved the new lumber, pulled the nails and stacked it in a neat pile, then came back the same day and moved a second deck with a 700 pound gazebo on it in about an hour. A recent customer said four workers demolished an above-ground pool and the deck around it and hauled everything away in 2.5 hours of steady rain, coming to South Windsor from Portland, CT. A recent customer cleaning out a first-floor rental said Umberto and his team demoed the kitchen, cleared the basement and took on a last-minute wall demo. A recent customer selling a house said they called at 6:30pm, got an answer, and had hazardous materials such as paint and gasoline removed. A recent customer who worked with Bert said a last-minute rental of a 22 yd roller dumpster was accommodated. A recent customer who used them twice said they arrived early with a team ready to pack and unload, for a move to storage and a move to a new apartment. In a 2025 review, a customer said Bert and one other employee hauled half a truck load of junk down three flights of stairs from an attic in under an hour. A 2026 customer emptying a father's house said Bert and his team had gotten certified to do water restoration work weeks before, and had the basement drying out within hours. **Strengths:** - A fast cleanout — a recent customer said a garage, attic and shed took 90 minutes - A swept garage — a recent customer said they swept after removing the junk - A deck teardown — a recent customer said the new lumber was saved and stacked - Transparent pricing — a recent customer called the prices reasonable and transparent - A last-minute dumpster — a recent customer's 22 yd roller rental was accommodated ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 5 stars from 135 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Talking%20Junk&query_place_id=ChIJB_Hfuf11xkERbZBnNsT6QsM) — “Google: 5★ from 135 ratings” - Says it is based out of Portland, CT _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.talkingjunk.us) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Based out of Portland, CT, Talking Junk LLC was built on a simple idea: give Connecticut a reliable, no-non…” - Lists a service area including Middletown, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and Danbury _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.talkingjunk.us) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Portland, Middletown, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Waterbury, Norwalk, Danbury, New Brita…” - A recent customer said a garage, attic and shed were cleared in an hour and a half _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25kME1uTnROemc1WW5SeFlXZ3lOVUZxWDB3MFYwRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xc342fac43667906d!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnd0MnNtNzg5YnRxYWgyNUFqX0w0V0E%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ The Talking Junk guys did an amazing job at my house.
