"I am so glad I found OC Strong Junk Removal! I urgently needed to get rid of my couches and I was able to get a last minute quote from Jessie and Blanca (I’m sorry if I got the name wrong)! I was ultimately concerned with my location in a busy residential/commercial plaza and being on the second floor — but it was no biggie for them! They were both very accommodating, worked very fast, and even arrived earlier than the time we established. I will definitely be using them as my go-to pick-up/junk removal services and will recommend them to everyone! So if you’re looking for anyone - look no further!! This is the team you want to hire!"

Waste Removal Services FAQs, answered by experts

Many fire extinguishers use a dry powder form of monoammonium phosphate to get the job done. To neutralize this chemical, spray or wash the infected area with a solution of three gallons of hot water and one cup of baking soda. Let the mixture stand for a few minutes, and follow that up with a warm water rinse. Finish off the process by washing the area with a mild soap and water solution.

Policies vary on what you can throw in a dumpster rental. Some companies will accept large appliances, although you may need to take steps to prepare the washer and dryer for disposal. Some companies don’t allow large appliances in their dumpsters at all, so it’s best to ask the rental company beforehand to find out what its policy is.

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.

Since vinyl flooring is so thin, you might encounter previous work that involved laying down fresh glue and installing new laminate on top. If you have two or more layers of laminate flooring, it’s that much harder to remove, but not impossible. You may need to break out more equipment, such as a circular saw, to help break through the multiple layers of flooring.

For most homeowners, renting a dumpster is the more cost-effective choice, especially for short-term projects like renovations or cleanouts, as it saves you from a significant upfront cost. Buying a dumpster can be more cost-efficient if you need it for a long-term project or run a commercial business, such as a construction company, that constantly handles large volumes of trash.
