You’ve booked your junk removal appointment — great! A little preparation before the crew arrives can make the whole thing faster, smoother, and potentially cheaper. Here’s exactly what to do.
You don’t need to move anything — that’s our job. But knowing what you want gone before the crew arrives saves everyone time. Walk through the space and make clear decisions. If you’re unsure about something, set it aside and decide when the crew is there.
Make sure there’s a clear walkway from the items to be removed to the exit — whether that’s through a door, up from a basement, or out through a garage. We’re good at navigating tight spaces, but if there’s a clear path, the job goes faster.
Some items require special handling and may not be accepted in our standard truck — for a full list, see what junk removal companies won’t take:
Dry paint cans, empty propane tanks, and many other items are fine. When in doubt, call us before your appointment and we’ll advise.
If we’re taking an appliance — refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher — please disconnect it from water and power before we arrive. We don’t do plumbing or electrical work. Hot tubs should have electricity disconnected by a licensed electrician.
You need to be there when the crew arrives so we can walk through the job and give you a firm quote before starting. After that, many customers leave us to finish — just let us know your preferences.
Our trucks are large — roughly the size of a standard moving truck. If access is tight, let us know when booking. We can often park on the street and carry items a short distance.
We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Payment is due when the job is complete. We’ll give you a receipt and can email an invoice if needed.
You don’t need to:
