How to Prepare for Your Junk Removal Pickup

A little prep goes a long way. Here's how to make your junk removal appointment as smooth as possible.

Make the Most of Your Appointment

You've booked your junk removal — great. Here's how to prepare so the crew can work efficiently and you get the most value for your money.

Before the Day

Know What's Going

Walk through your home and identify everything that needs to go. If you're unsure about an item, set it aside and decide on pickup day.

Clear a Path

Make sure the crew can easily access the items. Clear hallways, doorways, and driveways. If items are in the basement, make sure the stairs are clear.

Separate Valuables

Double-check drawers, pockets, and cushions for personal items, cash, or important documents before the crew loads anything up.

On Pickup Day

Be Available

Someone should be home to point the crew to everything that needs to go and answer any questions.

Point Everything Out

Walk the crew through each area. It's easier to show them everything at once than to flag items one at a time.

Ask About Recycling

If you care about where things end up, ask the crew about donation and recycling options for specific items.

After the Pickup

Take a moment to enjoy the space. Then think about how to keep it that way — sometimes a cleanout is the motivation you need to stay organized.
