Get matched with top haulers in Hometown, WV

Since you’ll likely be sorting through and getting rid of unwanted items anyway, this may be the perfect time to also plan for a garage sale. This way, you can think through how you want to price your items and group them for sale as you’re purging them from your home. You may also save on having to hire a service to haul away your items, and you’ll make money selling your items instead! Worst case, you can always drop off whatever you don’t sell at your nearest consignment store or donate to a charitable organization.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Choosing a junk disposal method begins with considering what kind of junk you’re getting rid of. If it’s hazardous waste, you’ll be more limited in your options and will either need to haul it to a dedicated disposal facility yourself or find a junk removal company that works with hazardous materials. If it’s general waste and mostly consists of small items, renting a dumpster is a great way to save money if you and some friends can move the junk into the dumpster yourselves. To save time and energy, though, hiring a junk hauler is the best option.

Determining whether you should tip junk haulers depends on the company's policies. In most cases, junk removal companies welcome tips for a job well done but by no means require them. If your team went beyond expectations to protect your home and respect your schedule, consider tipping between 10% and 20% of the total cost or around $10 to $20 per hauler.
