"Jerry was professional, hardworking, and did an excellent job hauling and spreading gravel for my 2 mile long driveway. He also regraded several areas where the rain had made deep ruts that required a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to our house. There have been several heavy rains since he worked his magic and the gravel did not wash away. We can now have friends visit with 2-wheel drive vehicles and we do not have to pick them up at the top of the hill. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others."

"Cleaned out my basement and needed some remaining larger items removed. The gentleman removed all items and hauled the extra items from the curb and left nothing behind. He was also very well mannered! Very respectful and refreshing!"

"recommend! These guys were amazing! They responded QUICK, within minutes. They were communicative, friendly, and thorough. When they came by, they busted their butts in the super hot sun and did a great job. Also their prices are quite cheap for the intensive labor they put in, and a fraction of the price of other debris removal services. I would 100000% use them again and am a very happy customer."

FAQs for garbage collection projects in Amherst, VA

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.
