Junk removal usually includes removing unwanted items from your property, loading it into a dumpster or a truck, and then carting the junk off of your property to be disposed of at a dump site. In most cases, your dumping fees—charged by the dump site—are included in your estimate, but you might want to confirm this expense with your junk removal team. Some junk removal companies offer additional services, like a deep clean after junk removal and moving and packing services, in case you’re getting rid of garbage as part of your relocation efforts.

Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that’s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.

There are several types of small dumpsters that you can rent, and they all vary slightly in size. Roll-off dumpsters are typically between 10 and 12 yards and are among the most common and convenient options because you can simply roll off your trash rather than removing it by hand. Commercial dumpsters range from 2 to 10 yards in size and are often used to collect daily trash. Finally, bag dumpsters are the smallest option you have at 2 to 5 yards, but they’re also the most inconvenient because you have to personally carry them on and off your truck.
