"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."

"I hired Roy from RC Handyman to help me with a window project. I was having some windows replaced under warranty, and I have indoor plantation style shutters. In order to replace2 of the windows which had failed, the shutters needed to be removed. Roy was punctual and polite, quoted a reasonable price. He removed two shutter assemblies before the window team came out, and then came back and replaced them after the window work was done. He was able to schedule the work around the schedule of the window company so that the job was less disruptive than it would have been otherwise. I was very pleased with his work. I had to do a little touch-up cleaning after the job, and otherwise would have given him 5 stars."

Waste Removal Services questions, answered by experts

There are several options for disposing of a water softener. First, you’ll need to empty it of any water, salt, and resin, which can be thrown away in the trash in doubled-up garbage bags. Then, check with your municipal waste management department, which may have guidelines or recommendations. You may be able to put the water softener out with your garbage, or you can often recycle it. Just be sure to follow any local regulations for pickups or drop-offs.

Some scrap yards may offer you money for water softeners that have metal parts, so consider calling local facilities for quotes.

Since you can’t recycle vinyl flooring, you can either use curbside pickup or call your municipality or a junk removal company and ask for instructions on pickup or disposal. You can also choose a dumpster rental service, which is especially convenient if you’re in the midst of a large renovation project and have other materials you need to dispose of.

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.

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.

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.
