Q: How do you calculate debris removal cost?

• <div><p>To calculate debris removal cost, you'll need to know if your chosen company charges by weight or volume. If they charge by weight, multiply the estimated weight of a load by the company's rate per pound. If they charge by volume, multiply the estimated number of truckloads by their rate per truck volume. Note that costs may be higher for heavy or hazardous waste materials. </p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for building material removal?

• <div><p>Ensure clear access to debris, separate hazardous materials, and verify disposal restrictions.</p></div>

Q: Can glass go in the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can&rsquo;t access the disposal safely, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garbage-disposal-repair/">garbage disposal repair pro</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to remove insulation?

• <div><p>If you have blown-in insulation, using an insulation vacuum will quickly and easily suck up all the insulation. Many come with built-in HEPA filters for added safety. While some people suggest breaking up large batts and feeding them into the vacuum, this can expose you to more fiberglass fibers. With batts and rolls, carefully removing them and placing them into garbage bags is a better process.</p></div>

I’ve hired Ed twice now to completely clean out two separate home garages and plan to hire him for future waste management. He is always very efficient and professional! Our second home 3-car garage was completely full and he was able to get it emptied very quickly. Thank you Ed!
