Hiring a junk removal company might be a good idea if you’ve got a lot of waste that you need to dispose of and you don’t have the time or resources to drop it off at a landfill site on your own. However, if this is your first time dealing with a tree trimming company and you’re not quite sure how to go about it, then our list of five important questions to ask a junk removal company might be of help.
What Type of Junk Do You Remove?
Believe it or not, there are different junk removal companies out there, and each specializes in the removal of a certain type of junk. For example, some junk removal companies specialize in removing large items like furniture, stoves and refrigerators, whereas others specialize in smaller appliances and junk generated from renovations. However, keep in mind that most junk removal companies simply won’t touch hazardous waste items like solvents, paint and batteries, which means that you’ll have to dispose of them in another way.
What Are Your Rates?
You’ll be glad to know that most tree services companies offer varying pricing packages depending on the customer’s needs. Ideally, you want to hire a company that’s not going to charge you for an on-site estimate but rather for the actual work, and make sure that there are no hidden rates included apart from the obvious labor cost, dumping fees and taxes. At the end of the day, you want to hire someone that’ll do a good job so don’t try to save money on this one.
Do You Recycle?
It’s important that you hire a junk removal company that practices environmentally responsible waste disposal methods. Find out if the company you’re hiring works with donation, repurposing and/or recycling organizations from your local area.
How Quickly Can You Do the Job?
Make sure you hire a quick and efficient junk removal company that’ll pick up the junk within hours or days of your request. Any company that makes you wait for a week or more is just a bad service provider and should be avoided. You can usually tell how efficient a company is by the number of jobs that it gets and the reputation it has. Also, don’t forget to visit the company’s website to check the type of equipment and professionals that they’re working with, as that’ll give you an indication of how equipped they are to complete the job in a timely manner.
Do You Offer Dumpster Rental?
While it may not seem like you’re going to need dumpster rental right now, you just never know so it’s always good to ask just in case. Perhaps the amount of junk that you have is small enough to fit into a dumpster, in which case you’ll want to switch to that service instead of hiring a tree removal service. In fact, the latter is typically required in situations that involve large furniture or appliances.
