How much does it cost to hire a junk removal service?
You may find yourself in need of a junk removal service if you are in the middle of house cleaning, remodeling, landscaping, hosting an event, or undertaking another activity that produces a high amount of debris. Junk removal services are a common alternative to renting a dumpster.
Junk removal services are typically one-time services used for hauling away household objects and materials: furniture, toys, TVs, small appliances, exercise equipment, bikes, lawnmowers, etc. However, some do also take yard debris and construction debris.
