What does junk removal include?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-secrets-about-junk-hauling-services.htm">Junk removal</a> 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.

Q: Do you tip junk haulers for piano disposal?

• <div><p>While it's not expected, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-tip-junk-haulers.htm">tipping junk haulers</a> is a kind gesture when the team goes above and beyond for piano disposal.
