"Needed a very large dresser removed from our basement with a large mirror attachment. Second city Hauling came in and were extremely professional and courteous. Very quick and efficient with removal. This is the second time I have used their services for furniture/junk removal and both times have been very quick and efficient."

"Danny has an excellent team. They did a great job clearing all the walkways around my house. The first time I called the company, it only took an hour or less for them to come and do the snow removal, and at a reasonable price. This is why, I continue to use Danny and his team’s services. I definitely recommend them."

Hauling questions, answered by experts

Minimal maintenance is required; inspections and periodic cleaning to preserve curb appeal and structural integrity help extend lifespan.

Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a local mold remediation pro, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a nearby junk removal service to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.

While do-it-yourself removal is possible, professional services are often recommended. Professionals handle permits, heavy lifting, and ensure safe and proper disposal in compliance with waste management laws.

Many recycling centers will not recycle Styrofoam because it is very difficult to return to its base form. Additionally, many recycling facilities do not have the proper equipment to compact or densify recycled polystyrene foam into new foam blocks. Ultimately, the entire process for recycling polystyrene foam is expensive and takes a lot of time.

While tipping junk haulers is not required or expected, it is a greatly appreciated gesture for a job well done. Many junk removal companies state that tips are welcome but not mandatory. A good rule of thumb is to tip between 10% and 20% of the total bill, or a flat amount of $10 to $20 per worker. For exceptional service, a tip of $20 to $50 for the entire crew is also appropriate. It is often best to give cash directly to each worker at the end of the job.

Consider tipping if the crew:

  • Goes above and beyond your expectations.

  • Handles heavy, bulky items or navigates difficult spaces like tight hallways or stairs.

  • Works in inclement weather or deals with potentially hazardous materials.

  • Takes extra care to protect your home and property.

  • Accommodates a last-minute scheduling change.
