Solvay is a dense, historic village west of the city with housing built largely for the workers of the old Solvay Process Company. Narrow lots, small yards, steep basement stairs and detached garages set back off alleys are the norm.
Those houses hold a surprising amount. Full basements with cast iron boilers, floored attics, and garages that were built for a Model A and now hold sixty years of storage.
LaFata Disposal Services works Solvay regularly and knows how to get a load out of a house where the driveway is shared and the basement stairs turn twice.

Access is the defining feature of Solvay jobs. We scout the route in and stage the truck where it will not block a neighbor's drive.
Loads here are often metal-heavy thanks to the age of the housing, and clean metal reduces what the job costs.
Frequently asked questions
Can you get a boiler out of a Solvay basement?
Yes. Sectional cast iron boilers are broken down in place and carried out in pieces.
Do you work on streets with no driveway?
Yes. We park legally on the street and carry the load out, which is standard here.
Do you do rental turnovers?
Regularly, for landlords in Solvay and the surrounding west-side neighborhoods.
Do you take old appliances from an attic or upper floor?
Yes, including small appliances and window air conditioners from upstairs rooms.
