"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 Deconstruction Junk Removal services were superb! The two drivers were not only timely, but they were also friendly, professional and efficient. I was so impressed with the time they took to carefully and safely remove our items, and they offer competitive pricing. I plan to use their services again, and will highly recommend them to our friends, family and neighbors for this and any other services they offer! Thank you Angi for sending us their contact information."

Hauling questions, answered by experts

In some locations, regular sanitation will pick up large appliances at no cost, but in others, you’ll need to pay for “special pickup” or “bulk pickup.” While the cost of these services is usually less than hiring an appliance removal company, it’s still worth considering because they will disconnect the appliance and get it out of your home. This appliance removal service is especially worth it multiple doorways or flights of stairs leading from the appliance to the exterior.

If you choose to break down a piano on your own, a 10-yard dumpster should be large enough to hold the individual parts. Keep in mind that junk haulers may not allow you to place a whole piano in a rollaway dumpster, but this will depend on the company, your contract, and local laws. That being said, choosing the right dumpster size will save you from the headache of over-filling the container during your cleanout.

Hauling is all about moving stuff from point A to point B, like furniture or construction materials. Junk removal, on the other hand, is more specialized. It focuses on removing items you no longer want or need, especially the bulky, broken, or hard-to-dispose-of things that won’t fit in a trash bin. In a nutshell, you can think of hauling as transport and junk removal as creating a clean slate.

Most junk removal services don’t take hazardous materials, including paint, gasoline, bleach, and other chemicals. When gathering quotes, ask the company about its specific restrictions.

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.
