The Junk Defenders

A 5-man hot tub, an old steam boiler, a tanning bed: The Junk Defenders haul away the heavy, awkward things people want gone. The company says it has been in business five years and lists a service area that starts with Meriden and takes in towns such as Cheshire, Wallingford, Southington and Waterbury. A recent customer said Edwin quoted the hot tub removal, then came out with his partner Jeff, took the tub in a short amount of time and swept the entire area. A recent customer said they had an old steam boiler and a tanning bed removed. A recent customer said the company called ahead, arrived on time and removed everything as planned, at fair pricing. A recent customer said they worked with Edwin clearing their elderly mother's apartment. A 2026 customer named Edwin Montalvo as the owner and said he swept up after the removal and dusted the snow off the car for the customer's elderly father. A 2026 customer said Edwin and the company moved a piano out of their house. In a 2025 review, a customer said Edwin removed a 9ft high by 12ft long built-in wall unit and brought plastic coverings for the furniture and floor. A 2025 customer said Edwin and John cleaned out an apartment and removed an upright piano in 93 degree weather, all in under 4 hours. In a 2022 review, a customer said Edwin and his crew removed 26 years worth of accumulated junk in 2 1/2 hours before the customer moved out.
