Are you looking to reclaim some space and hire a junk removal company? Whether it's clearing out your basement, removing yard waste, disposing of old appliances, or cleaning out your attic, junk removal services can make the process hassle-free. In this guide, we'll explore how junk removal works and provide valuable insights into the process.
Junk removal involves the removal and disposal of unwanted items, debris, or clutter from residential or commercial properties. From furniture and appliances to yard waste and construction debris, junk removal services handle a wide range of items, providing convenience and peace of mind to customers.
Assessment and Quoting: The process typically begins with an assessment of the items you want to be removed. Junk removal companies may offer online booking, online estimates or onsite estimates to evaluate the scope of work and provide a quote.
The most common way that a junk removal company will provide an estimate is by how much volume your items will occupy in their truck or trailer, this is how we structure our pricing at SLC Junk. For example; price points are broken down by1/4 load, 1/2 load, 3/4 load, full, etc. Many companies that have larger equipment will break the volume down in increments as small as 1/8th of a load. However, if you have heavy items like rocks some companies will add an additional charge for bedload (weight) or they won't be able to fill the truck or trailer completely full because their equipment can only hold a certain amount of weight but it will be equivalent to a full trailer in price.
The second way that junk removal companies structure their pricing is based on time. For example, they may charge $200 for the first 30 minutes and then an additional $50-$100+ per hour afterwards. So, if you choose a company that structures their pricing this way, I would recommend putting as much near the curb or on the driveway for easy access as possible to save time and money. OR some companies will charge a flat rate per hour, but this is less common.
The third way that junk removal companies structure their pricing is per yard.
Scheduling: Once you receive an estimate and agree to the terms, you can schedule a time that is most convenient for you, for the junk removal company to visit your property. Many companies, like SLC Junk offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs.
Arrival and Removal: On the scheduled day, a team of trained professionals will arrive at your location equipped with the necessary tools and vehicles. They'll efficiently remove the items from your property, taking care to minimize disruption and ensure safety. Many junk removal companies offer "all inclusive" services, which means that all you need to do is show them the items and they'll take care of the rest. Although not necessary, some junk removal companies offer discounted pricing if you have items on the curb, in the driveway or easily accessible in the garage. SLC Junk now offers $25 off, always when items are easily accessible on the curb, in the driveway or in the garage.
Loading and Transport: After the items have been removed, they are loaded onto the junk truck or trailer. Whether it's old furniture, appliances, yard waste, or other debris, junk removal companies have the equipment and expertise to handle it all.
Cleanup: After the removal process is complete, the junk removal team will ensure that your property is left clean and tidy. This may involve sweeping up debris or performing light cleanup to restore your space to its original condition. At SLC Junk we will also do a quick clean up of the area once all of the items have been loaded. For example, we will sweep, pick up small debris, rake or use our leaf blower to help you eliminate any additional tasks after we leave.
Disposal and Recycling: Once loaded, the items are transported to appropriate disposal facilities or recycling centers. OR the items are taken back to a warehouse where everything is then sorted for donation, recycling and disposal. Like SLC Junk, some junk removal companies prioritize eco-friendly disposal methods like donating whenever possible, recycling, and ensuring that items are disposed of responsibly.
