Eliminating the clutter from your life is not the easiest of projects. When it comes time for you to finally admit that things simply have to go there are a few methods of junk removal that you can choose from. The method chosen often will depend on the volume; you can haul the junk away yourself, rent a dumpster for a few days or bring in a junk removal company. There are pros and cons to all approaches, let’s have a look.
Removing the junk yourself is an option but be brutally honest and ask yourself if you are up to it physically. Junk can be heavy and it seems to be even heavier if it has to be brought up from the basement or brought down from the attic. You will need a truck to transport the junk, if you own a pickup this may help you decide to go this route, if you have to rent a truck then you are facing what can be an unnecessary expense. Depending on where you live you may find that there is a fee payable to the landfill operators when you wish to dispose of the junk. Rather than do the backbreaking work themselves many people will hire a junk removal company and leave any problems to them.
Renting a dumpster is not cheap; it can cost as much as $250 for a 30 cubic yard box. Although having a big container sitting in the driveway while you go about de-junking the house sounds like a great idea there is potential downside. Many private communities do not allow dumpsters to be parked, furthermore dumpsters are heavy and they can easily damage your driveway. When you rent a dumpster you are still faced with carrying everything to it and if you don’t fill it you still pay the same price so it may not be price effective.
Hiring a junk removal company is the choice of many homeowners. Most companies can give you an estimate over the phone, when you agree and they arrive at your home just point them in the direction of what junk you want taken away and the crew loads it and takes it away.
Perhaps the best part of hiring a junk removal company is that the cost is about the same as hiring a dumpster but they do the work and it’s all done in a day.
