"I am so thankful I found Go Time Hauling. Since I don’t live in the area, I basically had one long weekend to empty out my brother’s apartment after he died suddenly. Tevin was professional, met me at planned times, and helped haul away everything to donation centers and a storage unit. More importantly, he was compassionate, kind, and gave good suggestions about places to bring things so they didn’t just end up in a dumpster. This wasn’t just junk…it was my brother’s home. I’m not sure I could have survived the death of my brother without Tevin’s help."

"Mauricio did an excellent job of clearing my very dirty brick patio, front steps, paths and driveway. He was efficient and the result is amazing. The bricks on the patio were black with moss growing on them. Now they look like new."

"Javier is wonderful to work with. Over the last 5 years, he did many projects for my elderly grandparents in Salinas. When I contact him, he is prompt in every way: He responds to my texts, does the needed work without delay, and bills quickly. He is a nice person, honest, has broad knowledge, does quality work, and is a clear communicator. Javier has made my construction projects feel easy. All my experiences with him feel very positive, leave me with a good feeling, and a good finished project."

"Roy and his helper Fernandez did a terrific job installing our new refrigerator and disposing the old one. They brought the new fridge up the stairs, maneuvered it into place in the kitchen, and removed and took the old fridge away. They were conscientious and through, taking their time and cleaning up after themselves when finished, and completed the job sooner than Roy estimated. They did a great job, and I would not hesitate to recommend RC Handyman to anyone who needs assistance with a home project."

Contact your local municipality to request garbage collection services. In most areas, your local city or municipality manages garbage collection, which contracts a waste collection company to do trash collection and other garbage collection and disposal services. However, if you can’t wait for the next trash collection day, you can also contact a local junk removal service to come and haul away your garbage. Confirm with any junk removal companies what items they will take. If you’re renovating your home or have a lot of garbage to get rid of, consider renting a dumpster.
The cost of junk removal services for private garbage collection factors in wages for labor, the cost of maintaining and operating vehicles and trailers to haul garbage to a dump or recycling center. Landfills also charge a fee to dump garbage, which varies depending on what kind of waste it is.
A garbage collection pro or junk removal company can typically take anything from a single item such as refrigerator to the entire contents of a house or out-building being emptied. One exception is disposing of hazardous waste (like bleach or used oil), which is typically handled by your municipality. Check reviews, references, and qualifications of any company you hire to collect garbage. Ask what the company’s limitations are, what tools and equipment they use, and their availability.
Disposing of old paint, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal.
