DIY projects can be fun and rewarding. They can also save you money. However, sometimes it’s better to leave things to the professionals. One of those times is the difficult, messy, and sometimes dangerous task of junk removal.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing between dealing with junk disposal on your own or hiring a team.
Four Ways You’ll Save When Hiring a Professional
Unfortunately, professional junk removal isn’t free. Junk removal companies have to pay for employees, trucks, insurance, and fuel. However, here are a few ways you WILL save when you hire a professional junk removal team.
- Truck Rental Costs and Liability: Unless you have a large vehicle or are only planning on tossing a few minor items, you’ll need to rent a truck. Whether you use uHaul, Budget, or another company, you’ll have to cover the mileage rate and remember to fill the tank before returning it. Our prices are flexible, based on how much junk you have, and are free of hidden fees.
- Manual Labor: Moving your stuff isn’t (physically) easy. You might be able to rally together a few friends or hire some teenagers to help with the heavy lifting, but our team is experienced. We’re guaranteed to be able to carry fold-out couches, filing cabinets, hot tubs, and old equipment. On top of that, we won’t leave a scratch on any walls or other furniture. Can your DIY crew promise that?
- Time: Do you know how to recycle electronics and scrap metal? Do you know which thrift stores will take old bed frames? Professional junk removal teams do. They regularly ensure that all your items are properly disposed of or any reusable items are donated. What could be multiple trips for you is just another day’s work for professionals.
- Dumping Fees: On top of rental and labor fees, you’ll have to pay to dump your junk. At some locations, you may even have to unload the trash yourself. Not only do we handle the heavy lifting on this end, but disposal fees are included in our estimates.
When it comes to junk removal, the bottom line is that doing it yourself is the most labor-intensive option. Not only will you need to rent a vehicle, but you’ll also need to load it and drive around town to various dumps and recycling centers. Yes, you might save a buck... unless you damage the vehicle or injure yourself.
