1. How do The
Junkluggers work?
We are a junk removal service that will come to your home or business
and haul away stuff you don’t need anymore, for a fee. We charge only
based on the amount of stuff you have. ALL labor and dump fees are
included in the price. We do all the work, you don’t lift a finger.
When you book an appointment with us, we ask you to pick a convenient 2
hour window for our team to arrive. We will call you 15-30 minutes
before arrival to let you know we are on our way.When we do arrive, a
team of 2 professional, well trained and friendly guys will look at the
items you want hauled away and provide you with a written estimate. If
you are happy with that estimate we can remove the items right there
and then. We guarantee never to charge more than our estimated price,
but will charge less if the truck is emptier than predicted. When the
job is complete, you will be given a receipt with the final price. If
appropriate, the team will perform a sweep up of the site, and you will
be free of your junk in almost no time. A JunkLugger representative
will call you in the next few days to follow up and make sure you were
completely satisfied with our services.
2. How much do
you charge?
We charge based on how much space we fill up in the truck. The truck is
equivalent to the size of a small bedroom. It is also equivalent to the
size of a 15 yard dumpster. The price includes all labor, dump fees,
and time. There are no hidden fees, and when we come to your house, we
will provide you with a free estimate before we do any work.
- Heavy
Construction Material:
For heavy construction/dense material, we can the load the truck only
to a depth of one foot, and use our 'bedload' rates. The same prices
apply to these types of material, however, it is important to
understand that we can only fill up the truck one foot high, maximum.
Examples of heavy construction/dense materials include: masonry
products, gravel, concrete, brick, soil/dirt, tiles and shingles.
- Labor/Moving with
no removal services rendered:
The Junkluggers will do solely lifting and/or small moving jobs.
3. Why would I use your
service rather than
a dumpster?
Two people come and do ALL of the labor and clean up. We charge based
on the volume that your items take up in our 15 cubic yard truck.
Dumpsters sit on your property and you do all the loading yourself. You
also pay for the entire volume of a dumpster, no matter how much you
fill.
4. What can you
NOT take?
- Chemicals, Solvents, Oils
- Asbestos
- Oil Drums (unless it is empty with the bottom and top cut
out)
- Oil Tanks
- Furnaces
- Water Heaters
- Hot Tubs
5. Why can’t you
take hazardous materials?
Drivers and trucks are not licensed to carry hazardous materials. Call
your local recycling or waste management hotline for further assistance.
6. Are The
Junkluggers insured?
Yes, trucks and employees are fully insured. We have liability
insurance, workman’s compensation, and theft/collision insurance for
the trucks.
7. How big is the
truck?
The box on the truck is the size of a small bedroom. The measurements
are 12 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5 feet high. The truck is equal to
the size of a 15 yard dumpster.
8. What do you do
with the junk?
We recycle as much as possible and donate at the customer's request. We
are happy to provide you
with a tax deductible receipt on donations. Whatever cannot be donated
or recycled is sold at thrift store rates or taken to the town transfer
station.
9. Why can’t
you give me an exact price before you arrive?
Pricing is based on volume and nature of the material. We can not give
you an exact price until we see exactly the amount and type of junk you
have. We are able to review pricing with you over the phone, and upon
arrival we can give you a very close estimate as to how much it will
cost.
10. Why are
appointments booked in 2 hour windows?
Our team calls 15-30 minutes before arrival and give firm arrival
times. This allows them to deal with unforeseen circumstances, such as
traffic or jobs before yours that were larger than expected.
11. What
equipment do The Junkluggers come with?
Two strong and efficient people (more upon request), tools, shovels,
rakes, a tarp, and sometimes a dolly or wheelbarrow. We do not operate
machinery or carry ladders.
12. Can you do
the job for me if I am not on site?
We prefer customers to be on
site, or have someone there to represent
them. We call 15-30 minutes before arrival to let you know we are on
our way. If you are unable to be on site, we will review pricing on
arrival and call you for confirmation before we do any work. 13. When
should I book an appointment?As soon as possible because time slots
fill up quickly. Once you call, we will let you know the availability
in your area.
