Syracuse is home base for LaFata Disposal Services. We run the city daily — from the double-family houses on the North Side to the student rentals off Westcott, the older stock in Eastwood and Strathmore, and the commercial buildings downtown and along Erie Boulevard.
City properties have their own problems. Narrow driveways shared between two houses, third-floor walk-ups with turn-back staircases, alley access, and basements that were finished in 1968 and never emptied. Those are the jobs we do most, so we come prepared for them rather than being surprised.
Whether it is one couch out of an upstairs flat or a whole house cleared for a closing, everything gets loaded, hauled and taken to a licensed facility the same day.

City of Syracuse curbside collection has real limits on bulk items, and upholstered furniture and mattresses are frequently left behind. If your set has been sitting on the tree lawn for two weeks, that is why.
We are fully insured and operate under USDOT authority, which matters when a property manager or building requires documentation before a vendor works on site.
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve all Syracuse neighborhoods?
Yes — the entire city, from Eastwood and the Valley to Tipperary Hill, the North Side and downtown.
Can you get furniture out of a third-floor flat?
Yes. Older Syracuse two- and three-family houses are a large share of our work, and stairs are part of the job.
How quickly can you get here?
Often same week, and sometimes same day depending on the schedule. Call and we will tell you honestly.
Do you work with Syracuse landlords and property managers?
Regularly. Turnover cleanouts, post-eviction clearing and basement clear-outs are steady work for us.
