What Junk Removal Options Are There for Small Businesses?

If you’re clearing out a small business, you’re going to produce a lot of junk that needs to go somewhere. And city trash pickup is not going to be able to do the full job for you. There are limits and they can’t take all your old office furniture, equipment, or renovation debris. So that leaves Norcross businesses in a tight spot. And it's here that you have three options for small business junk removal in Norcross. We’ll walk you through each here.

Option 1: Dumpster Rental

Rented dumpsters are great when you have a project that you know will steadily produce debris over many days or weeks. Renovations are a great example. You put them on your property and load them yourself. For one-time cleanouts, though, it’s usually a bigger container than you need and more lifting than you want to do.

Option 2: A "Guy With a Truck"

This is the low-cost option, and for a single small item it can be fine. The trade-off is that these operators typically carry no insurance and provide no invoice or documentation. If your building needs proof of insurance, or you need a receipt for your records, then this likely won’t be a good fit.

Option 3: A Professional Junk Removal Company

Professional junk removal services like The Junkluggers are insured and send proper invoices. If something goes wrong, that’s what the insurance is for and the invoicing will help with your bookkeeping. As for the junk removal itself, a professional crew can take several categories of junk all in one trip with a crew that does all the heavy lifting for you.

How To Choose a Junk Removal Service

If you have a long renovation ahead of you, dumpster rental is a good option. Just make sure you have a place where a dumpster can stay for a while. Otherwise, by default, you’ll need a hauler.

If you have a single light item, you can go with a guy and a truck. They work in a pinch and if you know someone to call and all you need to get rid of is a fridge or something similar, this is a fine choice.

If you need a vendor with insurance and good recordkeeping, or who can handle huge projects all at once, then a professional commercial junk removal company is the safe call.

What To Ask Before You Book

If you’re vetting professional Norcross junk removal companies, there are a few questions that you can ask that will tell you a lot. First, ask if they carry commercial insurance and can provide a certificate. Many buildings require one or else crews won’t be allowed to work there.

Start by asking how they price the job. You’ll want to see a written estimate upfront. That’s how you can make sure you aren’t surprised by the bill at the end. It’s here that they can also tell you if they provide invoices for your records.

It’s also smart to ask what happens after pickup. These days, most reputable haulers will sort before dropping off items at the landfill. A lot of items are in good shape and there is no reason to send them to trash when donation or recycling is an option.
