"The pros sent me a text letting me know that they were 10 minutes away and so I called them and told them I was going to be right out and I was also going to let them in.the appointment was for 955am.We shook hands I showed them where my couch and coffee table were and they were extremely nice and professional about getting them out of my apartment. We also talked and then I payed the pros in cash and shook their hands and wished them a safe journey back because it was so windy today. It took 25 minutes to get my couch and coffee table out. Keep up the great work"

Waste, junk, building materials and debris removals and haulings FAQs

Yes, if you have items that are still usable, there are free junk haul-away services available near you. Organizations like the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and Habitat for Humanity often offer free pickup for gently used furniture, appliances, and other household items. These charities accept donations and may resell or donate them to those in need. However, if your items are unusable or broken, you'll need to hire a professional junk removal service, which will charge a fee. Check with local charities or municipal programs to explore all your options.

You can get rid of old appliances for free by donating them if they are in working condition. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, and local religious groups accept appliance donations and often provide free pickup services. Some utility companies offer recycling programs or rebates for old appliances when you purchase a new, energy-efficient model. Additionally, scrap metal recyclers might accept appliances and may even pay you for them. Contact local charities, utilities, or recycling centers to find the best option for your situation.

The average cost of trash removal per month ranges from $25 to $100, depending on your location and the services provided. Residential garbage and recycling collection fees may be included in your utility bills or property taxes, or charged separately by private companies. Factors influencing the cost include the size of your waste bins, frequency of pickups, and any additional services like yard waste or bulk item collection. Urban areas may have higher rates due to increased disposal fees and operational costs.

The smallest dumpsters available hold 2 cubic yards, measure 6 feet by 8 feet at 3 feet deep, and accommodate 400 pounds. They cost between $75 and $200 per week for rental. In addition, dumpster bag options are available for even smaller projects, costing between $100 and $180 per week. These solutions offer a precise fit for light cleanup jobs, ensuring an effective and economical approach to waste removal. You benefit from clearly defined dimensions that ensure the selected option meets your project’s scale without unnecessary expense.

Junk removal companies dispose of waste in approved landfills as part of their standard service process. They follow strict waste management protocols that ensure all material is handled in compliance with environmental regulations. Professionals send unusable or unsalvageable materials directly to a designated landfill. They also separate items that qualify for donation or recycling, ensuring that only the appropriate waste is destined for landfill disposal. This methodical approach guarantees efficient waste management while upholding safety and environmental standards.

Tipping junk removal professionals is a considerate gesture that acknowledges their hard work in handling challenging loads. When exceptional care and efficiency are demonstrated, you should tip a flat amount of $20 to $50 or 15% to 20% of the total service cost. A tip reinforces the quality of service delivered and rewards the crew for managing heavy, bulky, or hazardous materials safely. This extra token of appreciation supports positive service standards and helps ensure that experienced professionals are recognized for their skilled labor.
