Best Ways to Prepare for General Junk Removal in Northern Kentucky Ready to have all of that junk hauled away? No one wants to have old appliances, furniture, and other garbage taking up space in their home. Before you give Junk King a call, you might wonder what you need to do to prepare for our visit. While there’s not a lot you need to do since we can handle everything, there are a few steps you might need to take. It all depends on what you need us to pick up. Have You Identified Everything You Want Removed? We don’t want you to have us come out to pick up a few things only to realize later that you forgot to have us take something. If you only have a few items, you likely won’t forget anything. However, if you’re having us take items from a house you’ve inherited, a foreclosed property, or other home that has a lot of stuff in it, it can help to tag what you want us to take. You may also want to make a list. You may also need to go through everything in the home to determine what you want to keep first. This can take several days, so be sure you keep that in mind. It can sometimes be difficult to know what you want to keep, especially if many items have sentimental value. If you’re sorting through a smaller space, such as a garage, you may only need an afternoon. If the things you want us to take are mixed in with stuff you’re keeping, you can put colored sticky notes on what you want us to haul off. This helps us know what we need to move out and makes it easier on you—you don’t need to follow us around pointing out what goes and what stays. You can also move everything you want hauled off to one area, but that’s not necessary. We don’t mind handling heavy appliances and bulky furniture. Our teams know how to move these items out of a home effectively and safely and into our truck. If it’s more convenient for you to put them in the garage or other space, you can, but it’s not necessary. Clean Things Out If you want us to haul off old cabinets, tool chests, playhouses, refrigerators, or anything else that might have something stored in it, take a quick look inside. You don’t want to accidentally leave anything valuable inside these old cabinets or other items. This also helps ensure that it’s safe to move these items. While we will often tape doors shut to make sure they don’t fly open, that could still occur if there’s something heavy inside that gets flung up against the door. Note that there’s no need to clean the items you want us to take. If the appliances work or the furniture is in good condition and you want us to donate them, you can clean them up if you want, but it’s not necessary. If you’re dealing with a foreclosure home or a rental that the previous tenants have abandoned, you may have quite a lot of stuff to sort through. In this case, it may actually be easier to move out or tag the items you do want to keep. Either way, just let us know when we arrive. We will follow whatever directions you give us. Do All the Needed Yardwork Are you calling us to come pick up your yard debris? If so, you’ll want to have all of the yardwork done ahead of time so we can get everything at once. This means you’ll need to plan out what you need to do and give yourself enough time to get it all done. If you’re just trimming some trees, you may only need an afternoon. However, you do want to make sure you have the necessary tools on hand before you start. Does your chainsaw have fuel? Are your trimmers and other manual tools sharpened and ready to go? Do you have a ladder that’s tall enough? If you don’t, it can push your plans back. If you’ve already called to make an appointment with us, you may have to give us another call to reschedule. Call for a Free, No-Obligation Estimate The last step before we come to haul away the junk is to give us a call to get an estimate. We provide fully transparent, free estimates with absolutely no strings attached. You can text pictures of the garbage you need hauled away, or you can call and describe what you need us to come get. All estimates include all fees and other costs. There are no hidden extras added on anywhere. If you have a lot of trash, we may need to come out and do an in-person quote. However, we will bring our truck with us when we do. If you accept our estimate, we can likely go to work right away. This means you can be junk-free in a matter of a few hours!
