About Us

Zach started Scrap Squad the same way most things worth doing get started — with a truck, a work ethic, and a neighbor who needed a hand.


What began as a side job hauling junk for people in the community turned into something unexpected: a full-time business built almost entirely on word of mouth. People in Wilmington kept calling because Zach showed up when he said he would, charged what he quoted, and got the job done right. That's still the whole business model today.


Scrap Squad is local in the truest sense. They live here, work here, and take their reputation in this community seriously. When you call, you're not getting a national franchise or a call center — you're getting a crew from right here in Delaware who treats your property like it matters, because it does.


No corner-cutting. No disappearing after taking a deposit. They haul what they say they'll haul, show up on time, and leave your space cleaner than they found it. No gimmicks, no surprises on the bill.


If you've got junk, scrap, debris, or a space that's gotten out of hand — Scrap Squad is the crew to call.

What We Do in Wilmington, DE

We offer a full range of Junk Removal services throughout Wilmington, DE:

Our Services

Junk Removal

Junk removal is the hauling away of unwanted items from your home, garage, yard, or any other space. Furniture, appliances, boxes of old stuff, broken electronics, exercise equipment, anything you need gone and can't or don't want to deal with yourself.

Learn More →
Debris removal service

Debris removal is the cleanup and hauling of waste left behind from construction, renovation, or storm damage. This includes drywall, lumber, roofing shingles, concrete, branches, dirt piles, and general jobsite mess. It's the cleanup after the main work is done.

Learn More →
Light Demo and Tear-outs

Light demolition is the removal of interior fixtures and materials like cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, bathroom vanities, and non-structural walls. This is the prep work that happens before a renovation starts. It's not full structural demolition (no load bearing walls, no permits for major work).

Learn More →
Estate Cleanouts

An estate cleanout is the full clearing of a home after someone passes away, moves to assisted living, or downsizes completely. This means going through every room, sorting belongings, and removing everything that isn't being kept. It's one of the bigger jobs in the removal business.

Learn More →
Commercial Junk Removal

Commercial junk removal is the removal of unwanted items and waste from business locations like offices, retail stores, warehouses, and construction sites. This covers anything from old office furniture and filing cabinets to broken equipment, outdated inventory, and general jobsite cleanup.

Learn More →
Scrap Metal Removal

Scrap metal removal is the pickup and recycling of ferrous metals (steel, iron, stuff that sticks to a magnet) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass) from your property. This includes old appliances, fencing, car parts, water heaters, AC units, and anything else made of metal you need gone.

Learn More →
Hot Tub/Spa Removal

Hot tub removal is the full process of draining, disconnecting electrical and plumbing lines, breaking the unit down into pieces, and hauling it off your property. A standard above ground hot tub weighs 500 to 800 pounds empty (more if there's water still in it) so this is not a one person job.

Learn More →
Mattress/Furniture Disposal

Mattress and furniture disposal is the removal and proper disposal of old mattresses, couches, tables, chairs, and other household furniture you no longer need. Most of it can't just go to the curb (especially mattresses) and needs to be taken to the right place based on its condition.

Learn More →
Yard Waste/Brush Removal

Yard waste removal is the pickup and hauling of branches, brush piles, leaves, grass clippings, and tree trimmings from your property. In Delaware, yard waste is banned from all landfills, so it has to go to a composting or mulching facility (not your regular trash bin).

Learn More →
Foreclosure/Eviction Cleanouts

A foreclosure or eviction cleanout is the clearing of a property after a tenant has left (or been removed) and left their stuff behind. This could be anything from a few pieces of furniture to a completely full house of belongings. The property owner or bank needs it empty and ready to move on.

Learn More →
Appliance Removal

Appliance removal is the pickup and proper disposal of old or broken household appliances like refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, and similar items. These things are heavy, awkward to move, and most of them can't just go in your regular trash.

Learn More →
Garage Cleanouts

A garage cleanout is exactly what it sounds like: clearing out a garage that has become a storage dumping ground. This could be everything from old tools and holiday decorations to broken furniture, old tires, and years of accumulated stuff nobody has touched in a while.

Common Questions From Wilmington, DE Property Owners

How much does hot tub removal cost in Wilmington?

Standard above-ground hot tubs (6-8 person): $400-700. Large swim spas or premium models: $700-1,200. In-ground spas: $1,200-2,500+ (requires structural work beyond standard removal). Electrical disconnection: included for plug-in units, $150-300 additional if licensed electrician needed for hardwired systems. Deck or patio in poor condition may require additional fees.

Do you pay for scrap metal or charge for removal?

Depends on metal type and quantity. High-value metals (copper wire, brass fixtures, aluminum, stainless steel in quantity) may result in payment to you or free removal. Low-value ferrous metals (steel, iron, basic appliances) have standard removal fees. We assess and explain value before starting work.

Small office (5-10 desks): $400-800. Medium office (15-25 desks): $1,200-2,000. Retail space clearing: $1,500-3,500. Warehouse cleanouts: $3,000-8,000+. Volume-based pricing plus disposal fees for electronics and specialized equipment. On-site estimates for jobs over $2,000.

What happens to my stuff after you remove it?

Usable items in good condition go to local donation centers like Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, or specialized charities. Metals, cardboard, and certain plastics go to recycling facilities. Appliances go to licensed processors who remove hazardous components before scrapping metal. Everything else goes to permitted landfills—we provide documentation of disposal locations if you need it for estate or business records.

How long does junk removal take?

Single items (couch, fridge) take 30-60 minutes. Full rooms take 2-3 hours. Whole-house cleanouts take 4-8 hours. Wilmington rowhomes with stairs add time. We provide estimates during scheduling based on your description of items and quantity.

How much does debris removal cost in Wilmington?

Small loads (single room renovation debris): $200-400. Medium loads (bathroom or kitchen demo): $500-900. Large loads (whole-house renovation, roof tear-off): $1,200-2,500+. Construction debris: priced by volume and material type. Concrete, brick, and drywall have different disposal costs. On-site estimates for jobs over $1,000.

Do I need to be home during the removal?

Preferably yes for the initial walkthrough so we can confirm exactly what's being removed and provide a final price. After that, you can leave if needed—just ensure we have clear access to all areas and items. For estate cleanouts where families may find the process emotional, many clients prefer to be off-site after the initial walkthrough.
