"It started with me saying I was just going to cut a few things out of my fence line. 2 hours later, I had a massive pile! I put out request for haul off and R n K called me back within 5 minutes ( on a Sunday.) I sent a picture , the price was very fair, and they were at my house within the hour. They were fast, efficient and cleaned up very well. I would hire them again."

"It went well. They were just a little late getting to us, but they had a good reason and called beforehand to let us know. They worked quickly but were still careful not to damage anything. The owner is a young man but very responsible and hard working. Would def hire again."

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.
