"I called around 8 AM and left a VM. Within 20 minutes I received a callback. A crew happened to be close to my home so he was able to get them over right away...So quickly in fact I had to ask him to have them take their time because I needed to get ready. Everyone I dealt with was very courteous and professional. It was an overall excellent experience. I looked at prices from numerous other hauling companies, and theirs was the best."
"Lion Strong was great setting up the time for pickup with fair negotiating. The team that hauled my couch away were on time and very helpful. I highly recommend them!"
"The guys were on time. Very professional and efficient in the way they carried out their duites. I will use them again if needed. Thank you for clearing out the junk from my home."
"Scheduled couch pick up/ removal for donation. Process was easy (and quick) from initial contact, onward. Team was professional, personable and efficient. No drama, no unpleasant surprises. Communicated well to manage expectations with pick up time. Will use again!"
"They were great! Hauled away a bunch of stuff, donated what they could, demoed a shed, and tidied up the area. Very upfront about everything, professional, and communicative. Did the little extra things. Highly recommend."
We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you what is considered electronic waste and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk.
To eliminate waste without polluting, consider whether it can be recycled, reused, or donated. However, hazardous waste, such as chemicals or electronics, requires special handling and disposal to prevent it from polluting landfills. Organic waste can be composted or converted into fuel at a biogas generation facility.
If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.
Ensure bins are accessible and follow guidelines for separating recyclables and hazardous materials.
While smaller appliances might fit in your trash bin, many municipalities and private waste collection companies prohibit throwing them away with your regular trash. Contact your trash collection service to learn how to dispose of old appliances properly. Some companies will pick your items up curbside for no charge or a minimal fee.
