FAQ
Questions people ask before choosing
Can you move me and take the junk in the same visit?
Yes, that's one of the most common jobs we do. Send photos of both piles and we quote the whole thing as one flat price.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much space the load takes and how hard it is to get out (stairs, basements, tight alleys). You get the flat number before we start loading.
Do you donate or recycle?
Where an item is in good shape and a local donation site will take it, we try that first. We'll tell you honestly if something is headed to the dump instead.
