How much does junk removal cost?
Pricing generally depends on the volume of junk you have (how much space it takes up in the truck) or sometimes by weight. We offer free, no-obligation on-site estimates to provide an accurate price, as it can be difficult to estimate volume over the phone or online.
What types of items can and cannot be removed?
Metro Junk Removal can take furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, and construction debris. We generally cannot accept hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, solvents, oils, or asbestos due to safety and legal regulations.
What happens to the junk after it’s removed?
After the junk is removed, we prioritize eco-friendly disposal. That means sorting items for donation to local charities and recycling as much as possible, sending only the absolute necessary items to a landfill. We may provide a donation receipt for potential tax write-offs.
Do I need to do any heavy lifting or move items to the curb?
No, our full-service junk removal service includes a team that does all the heavy lifting for you. You simply point to the items you want gone, and our crew handles the rest, from wherever the items are located (basement, attic, etc.).
Are you licensed and insured?
Metro Junk Removal is licensed and insured, which protects you, your property, and the workers in case of any accidents or damage during the removal process. You can ask to see a copy of their Certificate of Insurance (COI) for peace of mind.
Do I need to be present during the removal?
While it’s helpful for you to be there to confirm which items need to be removed, Metro Junk Removal offers contactless service options. You can provide clear instructions and access ahead of time, and we will call you with a final quote for approval before starting the job.
How quickly can you get the job done (do you offer same-day service)?
We offer same-day or next-day service, depending on scheduling and availability. It is recommended to book as soon as you know your schedule to secure your preferred date and time.
Are there any hidden fees (e.g., for heavy items or stairs)?
We will always provide upfront, all-inclusive pricing estimates. Our price covers all labor, loading, cleanup, and disposal fees, though some specific items (like mattresses or certain appliances with refrigerants) might have an additional, disclosed disposal fee.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Metro Junk Removal accepts a variety of payment methods for convenience, including cash and all major credit cards.
Should I rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal service?
Hiring a junk removal service is ideal if you want a fast, hands-off solution where professionals do the work and haul everything away quickly. Dumpster rental is better if you have an ongoing project (like a renovation) and prefer to load items at your own pace over several days or weeks.
