"Good service in certain ways but brought me sofa full of fire ants and broken big screen TV. Their sales pitch claimed they own their fleet but all I saw were Ryder rental trucks. Only my initial deposit was paid directly to mayzlin. I can't get anybody on the phone to talk about broken TV."

"They were the most energetic, polite, and efficient crew I've hired in my 22 years as a rental property owner! Friendly, and young, these two men were eager to do the job completely, and respectfully. I'm a senior and have a lot of experience with unsatisfactory workers, but Humboldt junk removal did not disappoint !! I will definitely call them the next time a tenant leaves a big mess behind. Thank you Jaden and Caleb !"

Dumpster Service questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need shipping insurance. Don’t hesitate; it’s worth the cost. There’s always a chance for accidents and errors when transporting household goods, so it's good to be prepared for various circumstances, including bad weather, loss, and disabled ships at sea. Some providers include insurance in their rental prices while others add it separately. It’s also a smart idea to check in with your renters or homeowners insurance provider and ask about coverage included in your policy. 

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.

To get the most out of your dumpster rental, regardless of its placement, you should review what you can put in it and strategically organize your disposal. For instance, putting large items on the bottom helps you save space when it comes to the little stuff at the end of the project.

Yes, most services include basic site cleanup and proper disposal of debris, which may include hazardous materials. It is always best to confirm the specifics with your provider.

We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you what is considered electronic waste and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk.
