If you've got a pile of unwanted belongings in your attic, basement, or yard, clearing it out and hauling junk away is a major project. Not only does it take time and physical effort, but you also need a large vehicle or a dumpster so you can transport it to a recycling facility or landfill, so you may want to use professionals. Here’s how a junk removal service will do the job quickly and how you can prepare the area for them.

How Does Junk Removal Work?

When your local junk removal service arrives, they'll clear all the belongings and trash out of the area you point out. They can clear out a single room, an entire house affected by hoarding, or your yard. They'll load everything into their own dumpsters and haul it away to a recycling, trash, or hazardous waste facility. Some companies even purchase and pick up antiques.

How Should You Get Ready for Junk Removal?

Ensure there's nothing you want to keep mixed in with the junk and make a pile or move them to another room. Gather the goods you want the service to remove into a few manageable piles. Start with small toys and cooking items and then move larger furniture and appliances. Next, clear a path between the area your provider will be working and the place they'll be parked so they can safely move large and heavy items. Finally, ensure your kids and pets are out of the house so they won't get underfoot.
