When you’re ready to remove older items from your home such as appliances, boxes, clothes or furniture, it’s time to call the professionals. Residential junk removal services are a cost-effective way to reduce clutter, saving you time and keeping you safe from injury. Whether you’re a homeowner or renter, these services can be life-changing. Research shows that a tidy home can even lead to positive health outcomes. With fewer items in the house it becomes easier to keep things clean, to walk through rooms and hallways and of course, to find those misplaced items!
We Know Professional Junk Removal Wasn’t Your Original Plan
Everyone wants a place to call home that’s properly furnished and equipped. After all, a home can reflect your personality, from color schemes and furniture choices to garage storage and outside landscaping.
But each choice to add a needed or decorative item means new purchases (and packaging). This makes for a home full of treasures until some items get stuffed away in a drawer, box, closet or storage unit. Unfortunately, your possessions can go from being decorative, useful or fun items to becoming junk at some point. And it doesn’t take long for all the unused, unwanted junk to pile up.
What to Know Before You Hire a Junk Removal Service
Now that you’re ready to bring in the pros to help you, let’s review a few things you should know before hiring a junk removal service.
Each service is different, so you’ll want to research potential providers to become familiar with what they do and don’t do. This allows you to make sure you hire the right crew. Most providers have details on their websites. Stand Up Guys is a full-service junk removal company – we haul it all.
Before you call a junk removal service, identify your junk. Do you only have typical household items and appliances, or does your pick-up include construction materials and fluid waste (chemicals, motor oil, etc.)? Your provider needs to know these details.
While you separate items, decide if you want to recycle or trash them. Many community-based providers recycle furniture, appliances and other items that are still useful, so you can also decide if you’d like your old items to go to another family or organization. We’ll always ask your permission before giving a second life to your no-longer-needed possessions.
How to Prepare for Residential Junk Removal
Now that you’ve determined what kind of service you need and found the perfect provider—hopefully a Stand Up Guys crew—use these tips to help you prepare for a residential junk removal appointment.
1. Stage your pickup area
Select an area in your home to place those smaller, easier-to-move items. Designate this as the main staging area and put as many things here as possible. When you’re finished you’ll have a better idea of how much you’re removing, which also makes for a quicker quote process.
2. Divide and conquer
If you have a staging area set up, it’s much easier to separate what you want to get rid of from what you want to keep. You can leave those “keepers” in their rooms or locations, while other items can go to the staging area for easy removal.
3. Mark your larger items
You can leave appliances or larger furniture in place. Mark it clearly, and lead your removal crew to it when it’s time.
4. Make sure you provide a clear path
Our crews can make quick work of your junk. For everyone’s safety, a clear path to the door is important.
All of us have accumulated junk in our homes, there’s nothing wrong with that. And there’s nothing wrong with letting those once-loved, well-used things go after they’ve served their purpose.
