While that might seem like a simple question with an obvious answer, junk removal can be a bit complex.
Simply put, full-service junk removal is an industry dedicated to assisting with the junk removal process for homeowners, renters, and businesses. It differs from regular, municipal trash pickup in that junk removal firms typically pick up and remove almost any kind of waste and debris.
Your local trash company won’t do that!
There are dozens of junk removal services just in San Diego County alone, and folks living in or near Santee have several firms to choose from. However, for the top-rated and most reliable junk removal in the region, folks in Santee have Junk King San Diego.
But a fair question to ask might be, “How do I choose the right junk removal service?”
How to Choose the Right Junk Removal Service for Your Needs
Generally speaking, there are two basic types of junk removal services:
- Residential junk removal, and
- Commercial junk removal
The main difference usually consists of the types of junk being removed as well as the type of customer. A typical homeowner needs to get rid of yard waste, old furniture, and appliances, or moving trash and debris, for example. A business owner typically needs to dispose of commercial debris and materials.
But, at the most basic level, both residential and commercial junk removal share the same need: junk that needs to be picked up, removed from the premises, and disposed of properly.
While there are a few firms that specialize in certain types of materials like construction debris, most junk hauling firms try to take just about anything that needs to go. But this does not apply to waste and debris classified as hazardous waste, by the way.
According to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) website,
“In California, unless specifically exempted, it is unlawful for any person to transport hazardous wastes, unless the person holds a valid registration issued by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).”
Although most any established junk removal or junk hauling firm can take care of most junk removal needs, choosing the “right” firm requires a bit of research on a few key factors:
Pricing: Not all firms charge customers the same way. Knowing how a company charges is important, especially if you have heavy junk items.
Service: Reviews and referrals are powerful. Companies that cannot provide substantial “social proof” of their commitment to customer service and professionalism may not be the right choice for you.
Recycling: The unfortunate reality is that not every junk removal firm practices recycling and reuse of junk materials picked up. But the fact is that most junk items are partially or completely recyclable.
The good news is that Junk King San Diego can make this choice easy for folks in Santee – we have the best pricing in our service area, the best service in our industry, and we pioneered the concept of recycling-based junk removal and disposal.
3 Tips for Picking the Best Junk Removal Company for You
While it may be easy enough to do a quick search on your phone for “junk removal near me” this will simply give you a list of company names. This tells you nothing about which ones are good or not-so-good. And any conscientious residential or commercial customer will naturally want to hire the best junk removal company for their junk removal project.
The question then becomes how to find a good junk service provider?
As we noted previously, pricing, service, and disposal methods are key deciding factors. In addition, there are three more considerations for picking the best junk removal company.
- Which company will provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate? The best junk removal firms will make sure you know what your project is going to cost you before you commit to a choice.
- Does the company take proper safety measures when entering homes and businesses, and do they offer “touchless” junk removal service?
- Do they require that you “stage” your junk or waste materials so that their crews can load them easily, or will they do all the heavy lifting for you? (And clean up after themselves when they’re done?!)
How Many Different Types of Junk Removal Services are There?
For most residents and business owners in Santee, the municipal waste removal services provided by Waste Management Inc. are sufficient for typical junk, waste, and trash removal. However, bulky trash and large junk items that do not fit in trash bins – or are not permitted in them – must be picked up with special arrangements or by other means.
In addition to municipal waste services there are professional junk removal services like Junk King San Diego. Much like a municipal waste removal service, professional junk removal handles the pickup, loading, and removal for you.
In addition, there are recycling facilities that can be used for removing certain types of junk from a home or place of business. However, this type of junk removal service requires that the junk materials be delivered to them by the customer.
Similarly, local landfills can be viewed as a type of junk removal service that also requires customers to deliver and unload the junk themselves.
So, your type of junk, the size and quantity of junk, and whether or not you have a suitable vehicle for hauling junk, will determine what type of junk removal service you need. However, for most people, most of the time, if their junk is too much for their trash or recycling bins, their best option is to rely on professional junk hauling companies like Junk King San Diego.
How Does It Work When You Need a Quote from a Junk Hauling Company?
One of the main concerns for any prospective customer is the junk removal cost for their project. And one of the best ways to determine that cost is to get a quote from a junk hauling company before having them load anything.
Keep in mind that a quote is not the same as an estimate. And a quote may be more than what your actual charges ought to be depending on how the company’s pricing scheme is structured.
For example, some companies charge by weight, but this can be hard to estimate. Others charge a flat fee, so a quote or estimate is a fixed amount. However, Junk King San Diego only charges for the amount of space your junk takes up in our truck. This means that our experienced and expert crews can provide accurate estimates prior to loading your junk.
And, if you prefer, you can do the same with our handy, online Pricing Estimator tool.
