Appliances

Occasionally appliances break down or fail. In these cases when the appliance is a bit too unwieldy to carry, you can schedule an appointment to have it professionally hauled off (2). Junk removal Appliance pick-up can be arranged at any convenient time, and a road crew will be standing by to take away the broken appliance. Alternatively, if you're in need of moving an appliance around, especially one of the larger types, professionals can help with that as well.

Foreclosure Cleaning

When selling a home, it's important to have it professionally cleaned out for the next tenants to move into. So foreclosure cleaning means big business. As an unfortunate product of a slower economy, foreclosure cleanups are predicted to experience serious growth in the future (3). The main difference between this service and junk removal is size, scope, and scale. Junk removal is simply taking away some trash or a large appliance. Foreclosure cleaning is absolutely removing every item in a home before it goes to the next tenants. This means that pricing is usually done by the amount of objects and debris that have to be removed. Normally a foreclosure truck is a minimum of 10ft. long, 8ft. wide, and 5ft. high. A rough price scale follows (4):

  • Minimum Load 1/8th $100
  • 1/6th Load $135
  • 1/4th Load $231
  • 3/8th Load $261
  • 1/2th Load $340
  • 5/8th Load$364
  • 3/4th Load $422
  • 5/6th Load $443
  • 7/8th Load $463
  • Full Load $511

Mattress

Yet another thing that homeowners may need assistance with, mattress removal is yet another common household need. While it's a bit of a myth that you should replace your mattress every 7 years, there is still some truth around replacing it every 10 years, especially if you don't sleep as well as you have been (6). Mattress disposal is a service that you can easily call upon to rid your home of an old, worn, or broken bed. And the professionals can work with you to establish a good pick-up time. People discard 600,000 mattresses per year in just one state alone, and most of them can even be recycled (7).
