Question 1

How is the cost determined?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing is determined based on the volume and type of junk to be removed. We price based on how much space your items take up in the back of our truck, broken down into fractions of the load. Our trucks are quite large, equivalent to several pickup trucks. We provide a free on-site estimate before any work begins, so you'll know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees or surprises.

Question 2

Can I get an exact price before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

We can't give you an exact price over the phone since we typically price based on how much space your items take up in the truck. We need to see the items in person before we can give you an exact price. The best way to get a price is to book a free, no-obligation onsite estimate. Our team will take a look at all the items you want removed and provide an upfront price before starting work.

Question 3

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards, Zelle, and cash. Payment is collected after the service is completed and you're satisfied with the work. All payments are processed securely, and we provide a receipt for your records.

Question 4

Are there any extra fees or hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

No, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing. The price we quote is all-inclusive, covering labor, transportation, disposal, and recycling fees. Once we give you an estimate based on the volume of items, that's the price you'll pay - no surprises or hidden charges added later.

Question 5

What items do you remove?

Accepted Answer

We remove a wide range of items including furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, mattresses, exercise equipment, hot tubs, and more. Our service covers everything from small cleanouts to large-scale projects.
