"I have worked professionally with RH&D for a few years now and I would fully recommend them for any Hauling and Demo needs. I have used them for many home remodel projects varying in scope from simple debris hauling, to very complicated structural demolition. I have found the pricing very fair and competitive, their scheduling is on time, their demo skills are aligned with professional standards, and this is an odd one.., but important, they fill the truck! That may sound odd but I have worked with with many companies like this and have noticed that Rick and crew consolidate and really pack the truck full to optimize space.., that alone saves me money, very much appreciated. Rick is exceptionally smart, I have no problem pointing to complicated demolition projects and knowing the he and the crew can handle it without any worry from me. I use RHD on average once a month, and sometimes 4-5 times a month on my residential home building and remodel projects. Each time when I return to look at the work it is always done right, very clean, and everyone I have seen working has a great attitude. RHD is the real deal without a doubt, and I count myself lucky to have found them."

"Mauricio R from Solid Ground Landscaping did a great work at my property, the crew installed a flagstone patio, upgrade the sprinkler system and build 120 LF of picket fence between our properties. He gave us a fair price for the project, but the most important he did the work according to the code. I recommend this company for any landscape project."

Hauling questions, answered by experts

The most affordable way to get rid of junk often involves a do-it-yourself approach, especially if you don't have a large amount of debris. Start by sorting your items into categories: donate, recycle, sell, or trash.

  • Donate or Sell: Usable goods can be donated to local charities. You can also list items for free or for a low price on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

  • Use Municipal Services: Your city's regular garbage collection or bulk pickup days can be the cheapest option. However, be sure to check community guidelines for quantity limits and accepted materials. You can also take recyclables to a city drop-off center.

  • Haul it Yourself: If you have a truck or suitable vehicle, loading the junk and taking it to a local transfer station, public dump, or waste disposal facility is a very cost-effective method.

If a DIY approach isn't possible, consider these options:

  • Rent a Dumpster: You can rent a dumpster, fill it yourself, and the rental company will haul it away. This is a good middle-ground if you can do the labor but don't have a vehicle for transport.

  • Hire a Junk Removal Service: While typically the most expensive choice, hiring a professional junk removal team is the most time-efficient and requires the least effort from you. This is a good solution if your city's services won't accept the items or if you are unable to move them yourself.

Junk haulers remove items that residential trash removal won’t take. Bulky items, like furniture, tires, and oversized yard waste, are common things they can remove from your home. Other items include chemical waste, electronics, and construction equipment. If you have a question about what your local junk removal service will remove, you should call them ahead of time to check on the best disposal options.

In some areas, tipping garbage and recycling workers around the holidays is a kind and common practice. Tipping between $20 and $50 once a year is a kind gesture for a team you've gotten to know or who does an exemplary job. While tipping junk haulers and waste management pros is not expected, it is a great way to show your appreciation.

Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a local mold remediation pro, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a nearby junk removal service to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.

Small vans, box trucks, and portable storage containers are options. Choose based on the size and type of move.
