"Excellent job cleaning out my attic, basement, garage and a few other rooms in my house in preparation for sale. Materials removed included furniture, construction debris, televisions, air conditioners, and other trash. The garage was particularly difficult because a hole in the roof had caused the contents to become water-logged and gross. The job required a day and a half of work and cost slightly less than the estimate. The crew were professional and polite. They left everything "broom clean." Truly an amazing job! I am very pleased with the results and will use them again."

What are the 6 types of waste?
There are many different types of waste, but they tend to fall into a few main categories.
- Municipal waste: This is what you probably know as garbage. This category includes everything you’d throw into your trash can, including kitchen waste, paper, and plastic.
- Hazardous waste: This includes things like gasoline and pesticides. Note: If you need any waste in this category removed, you’ll likely need to call in a specialized company and/or consult local ordinances about how to dispose of them.
- Medical waste: This category includes things like medical tools and waste from hospitals. You typically wouldn’t call a traditional junk removal company for this type of waste, as it will require a more specialized service.
- Industrial waste: Waste in this category comes specifically from processing plants, factories, and other similar sites. Again, specific companies tend to handle this type of waste.
- Waste prevention: This is what we know as recycling. If you specifically want a junk removal service to recycle any items they take away, be sure to let them know.
- Construction and demolition debris: Junk removal companies can often help you with construction debris removal, including hauling away things like wood, dirt, and concrete, which can be helpful during home renovations.

How to prepare for junk removal
How you’ll get ready for a junk removal company to come can depend on what they’re hauling away, but there are a few best practices you should follow no matter what.
First, make sure you have a list of everything you need the junk removal service to take away (you should also share this with them beforehand). Next, clear the area where the team will work, making sure it’s as free of obstructions as possible, any doors are unlocked, etc. If you can safely put all the junk they need to take away in one area, go ahead and do that.
Finally, be sure that you’re available at the time you schedule with the junk removal company and you ask any lingering questions before they arrive.
