How to Choose a Junk Removal Service

By August 8, 2018October 10th, 2018Uncategorized

When you search for junk removal services, you find all kinds of options. There are big companies and small outfits. Businesses that drop off a dumpster and ones that come pick up the junk for you. Which company should you choose? While making your choice, keep the following tips in mind:

 

1. Look for an Easy Quote Process

If you’re paying for services, you don’t want to be surprised by a large bill. To be on the safe side, you need to get a quote. As you get quotes from junk companies, see what the quote includes. Ideally, you want it to include labor, weight, and all disposal fees.

However, different companies offer different processes for their quotes. Some companies may want to come look at your junk, and that’s time consuming. The best option is if you can find a company who will give you a quote based on a photo of the junk. The best junk removal services have apps so you can easily upload pictures and submit them for a quote.

 

2. Hire a Company That Donates and Recycles

Getting a quote is the first step, but you may want to find out what happens to your junk once it’s hauled away. To reduce the amount of stuff that goes to the landfill, you may want to hire a company that donates useable items and recycles materials that can be recycled. Simply, ask what the company’s policies are.

3. Make Sure They Handle the Loading

Loading junk into a truck or a dump trailer can be exhausting, dirty, hard work. It can also strain your muscles and lead to scrapes, scratches, and bruises. To save your body from these hassles, look for a junk removal company that will do the loading for you.

4. Check for Experience With Your Situation

Junk removal isn’t a one-size-fits all job. If you’re doing a large landscaping project, you need someone who can haul away tree branches and old patio stones. If you’re cleaning out a foreclosed property, you may need a company that understands what to do with old appliances, rotten carpet, and similar types of garbage. Similarly, if you have a commercial project, you want a company experienced with that type of situation.

For instance, if you’re in retail, if you work as a contractor, or if you need clean up services after an event, you need a junk removal company that has experience in those areas. That helps to ensure that they know what to expect and how to best help you.

 

5. Insist on a Flexible Schedule

Once you find a company that meets all the above criteria, you can schedule the junk removal. At this point, you need a company with flexible schedules. Weekdays are great, but if you work a nine-to-five job, you may need a company that can also arrange pick ups on Saturdays.
