"I had been living with piles and piles of trash in all my spaces for over a year before I started reaching out to companies for help. I had contacted 10-15 places on a frantic Saturday, not expecting a fast response. Nicole with Bio One responded to me not only immediately, but with COMPASSION and EMPATHY for what I was going through. Together we made a plan, and four days later she met me in my embarrassingly disgusting apartment and got to work. Throughout the entire process she communicated with me what was happening as I was too embarrassed to stay there while her team worked. They got more done in one day than I could’ve in months. Never once did they make me feel ashamed or embarrassed with anything they did. They sorted through my piles and piles of trash to make sure nothing important would get thrown away. Bio One has changed my life. After just a couple short days of work (I live on the third floor in a walk up if you can imagine how laborious it must’ve been to get box truck after box truck full of trash to the dump), my apartment is completely changed. They organized my kitchen. They washed my dishes. They got the nasty bugs out of my sink and fridge. They cleaned a bathroom that was disgusting. They got my sinks going full power again. They went through my pantry and got rid of moldy food. They made sure I was ok with each step of the process. This is the first time in this apartment that I am able to have a Christmas tree. My dogs have a safe home. I have my life back. Anyone can be hired to throw away trash. But I truly believe that it takes a special type of person to sift through it, clean a home with kindness, and treat the client with compassion and understanding. I felt such despair prior to having Bio One come help me. The estimate was fast (the day I first messaged them), the price was EXTREMELY reasonable, and it is honestly really nice they they want to help you and will work with you. They put the PERSON 1st."

Waste Removal Services FAQs, answered by experts

Most people who rent a dumpster choose a 20-yard dumpster, which should be large enough for the following:

  • Bathroom remodels

  • Home cleanouts

  • Roof replacement

  • Large-scale landscaping projects

A 10-yard dumpster is suitable for the following projects:

  • Small bathroom remodel

  • Patio or deck demolition

  • Small landscaping projects

You might need a 30- or 40-yard dumpster for the following projects:

  • Large construction projects

  • Large demolition projects

  • Whole home renovations

You can ask your local dumpster rental company what size dumpster you need based on the specific project you have lined up.

The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes. As you can imagine, this option creates fire hazards, especially since roots can burn underground, hidden, for long afterward. That’s why many states and cities have outlawed the use of stump burning entirely. We do not recommend this option as a viable alternative unless you get a permit from the local fire department and practice all safe burning procedures.

Others prefer a more long-term DIY approach of degrading the stump with home mixtures like Epsom salt and vinegar injected directly into it. This may help the stump decay faster, allowing homeowners to dig it out themselves, but it’s still a lengthy process. It usually takes months for a stump to start falling apart with such treatments, and in the meantime, it can be vulnerable to rot, insects, and other problems.

Most cities accept old carpet as bulk trash, typically without any nails or glue on the base of the carpet. You may be required to request a specific pickup and wrap the carpet into specific bags. You can also visit your local recycling center and pay a small fee to have the carpet materials recovered.

The majority of general contractors include junk and trash removal in their contracts, but services vary. As the homeowner, you may need to manage tricky items on your own, such as disposing of laminate flooring in an eco-conscious way or by arranging for appliance pickup with your local waste management service.

Leaf removal isn’t usually necessary, and in fact, leaving leaves where they fall or mulching them instead can provide nutrients to your soil that can be good for your lawn and garden beds. Most homeowners prefer the look of a lawn that is neat and clean, though, so the majority of people prefer to pay for leaf removal. There are some cases where you might have to pay for leaf removal, like if you live in a strict homeowners association that mandates the service or a generally clean lawn.
