What the Queen Does

Four flavors of hauling.

Straight from the homepage — the full rundown of what Kathy and crew clear out. If it’s in the way, ask.

01 / Everyday

Resource recycling

Sorting, salvaging and routing what can still have a life — instead of everything just becoming a landfill.

02 / Legacy

House, barn & estate clean-ups

Decades of buildup, a whole barn, a loved one’s estate — handled start to finish, with care for what stays and what goes.

03 / Bulk

Inside / outside junk removal

Furniture, appliances, yard piles, construction leftovers. In the garage, out back, up in the attic — wherever it’s lurking.

04 / Teardown

Small demolitions

Sheds, decks, old outbuildings. If it’s small enough to take down without a wrecking ball, let’s talk.

Meet the Queen

“You really are a trash queen!

A customer said it first. The name stuck.

I’m a trash collector at heart. I try not to purchase anything “new” whenever I can help it.

I used to pick up all kinds of stuff on the streets of New York City. Then, after relocating to the Catskill Mountain region, I started doing it as a business.

First I called my services North Branch Wimminsworks, then Helping Hand, and finally — after a customer told me “you really are a trash queen!” — that name stuck.

Contact me today and let’s talk trash.
