GMP Dumpster Rental and Full Service Junk RemovalThey are just great. They show up when they are suppose to. Their prices are fair. They do not leave any dirt around.
They hauled away a very small amount of debris. It did not seem worth specifically using them. Perhaps if you have concerns about how your debris will be recycled, this is the company, otherwise go with someone else for the money. Half a truck load is just a pick up truck.. Not much trash to...
Donation Nation IncThis outfit is great. I emailed them yesterday evening and received an email response by morning. They set up a trash pickup/haul for the same day. It was a fair negotiation over the phone. I highly recommend this company. I will certainly use them again!!
We were the last house of ten jobs for the team on 21 September. They arrived in four vehicles, including the bucket loader and another truck towing the shredder. They probably had ten men on the team. Two cutters worked the tall tree via the bucket loader and ropes (I was told the...
Richard's Tree ServiceI needed both a hauling and plumbing service. Gabriel informed me that he could not do the plumbing. hence we were unable to do business. He was, however, polite and prompt in his response.
I was one of many whose property suffered tree damage when the Dallas area was struck by that record snowfall in February 2010. Dallas Tree Surgeons did the job quickly and left me a large pile of cedar mulch, which itself has considerable value. The company representative making the proposal...

Woodbridge Plumbing Inc has been in business since Tom and Anne Kreutzer started it in 1973 in the basement of a house on Occoquan Road with just one plumber, Tom. After three years Tom hired his first employee, David McCullen, who stayed with him until Tom and Anne sold the business in October, 2006. As the business grew, it moved first to a rented space at Canfield Industrial Park for nine years, and then to the current office and warehouse in Telegraph Road Business Park in January, 1987, across Telegraph Road from the back of Target.
"AV was extremely helpful, put in the time to get everything right. And when I had a further question after the repairs, he called me back promptly. The office staff also has been unfailingly helpful and responsive."

The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
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.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
