"Great experience, very prompt and courteous . It was a small job (removed an old couch for disposal), but got it done very quickly and efficiently. Very local for me in Damariscotta and was extremely affordable ($140 less than the only other quote I could get). Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone."

"Im a realtor and use/recommend Arwood waste for junk removal/dumpsters on properties that have renovations or rental cleanup. Cheapest Ive found and has always been right on time while providing a professional service. Last time I needed junk removal was for a home we were selling where the renter destroyed the home and left it full of junk and trash. The young man for Arwood Waste showed up a little early and removed all junk from inside and out on the driveway which required two loads. I came back to inspect and was surprised to see that not only was the junk/trash removed but both inside the house and the driveway had been cleaned and swept. I did not expect that...worthy of me coming online to write a review."

"Perfect service. They were early and very responsive, answered all and any questions I had. Was very professional. The gentleman and his helper were very strong.. like, I have never seen someone just pick up a dresser and go! They were very punctual, they were very very good at their jobs, very courteous. I have never met anybody in the state of Bangor Maine who is more courteous and better at their job than this company. I would recommend, 10 out of 10, if I could, I would give him a hundred stars! I highly recommend Bob Young and his crew to come out for either your landscaping or your junk removal. Very courteous and he was not expensive, he works with you on a budget, he is just overall a great person and he has a great company. I highly recommend!"

The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
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.
A 20-yard dumpster is the most common dumpster rental size, which typically costs about $275 to $700 per week. This size is most common because it’s likely to have enough room for a wide variety of projects from large spring cleaning, home remodeling, or new construction. A 20-yard dumpster can fit in most residential driveways, avoiding the need for permits to keep it in the street. Just be aware that having a dumpster delivered on your driveway may cause scratches, cracks, or scrapes in your pavement, as well as needing to find another parking spot for any vehicles.
Ultimately, your needs may vary. It’s usually a good idea to err on the side of renting a larger dumpster than you might need.
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.
Dumpster rental costs about $390 per week, on average, depending on the size of the dumpster and the material you’re disposing of. The price range for dumpster rental can be as low as $80 per week and as high as $850 per week for a larger commercial-sized container. Typical dumpster rental price ranges include:
Dumpster bag: $100–$200
Residential dumpster: $100–$300
Trash or junk hauling service: $150–$400
Roll-off dumpster: $200–$800
