Got a Clutter Problem?
It’s all too easy for your junk to pile up until it feels like it’s invading your home. Junk buildup can be a slow and gradual process, but it inevitably happens if you don’t diligently take measures to get rid of stuff you don’t use. Once it has become a problem, junk removal services can be a boon to your home.
At Spartan Junk Removal, junk hauling is the main service we offer. However, there’s a lot to know about junk removal — many folks who call us don’t actually have a clear idea of what junk removal entails. Well, knowledge is power, and by learning the facts, you will find that you have a lot to gain from this valuable service.
Our Junk Removal Process
At Spartan Junk Removal, our goal is to make decluttering as easy, affordable, and efficient as possible. When you call us for a free consultation, we will arrive promptly, and if you agree with our estimate, we can get the job done that very same day. Here’s what you can expect if you call us for a no-obligation, free estimate:
Walkthrough
We will arrive within a two-hour window and inspect the items that you need to be removed. The price varies depending on the types of items you want to be removed and the space they take up in our truck, so we’ll want to see everything you want to get rid of.
Upfront Estimate
After examining the extent of the job, we’ll give you a no-obligation, upfront, and free estimate. Prices are based around how much space your stuff will take up in our truck. If you like the price, we can get started then and there! If you’d rather schedule the removal for a later date, just ask.
Junk Removal
We will load everything you want to get rid of on our truck. We know how to load in a way that’s safe and efficient, and we will sort the items for donation, recycling, and proper disposal. We won’t stop until the job is completely finished!
Peace and Payment
We don’t expect payment until the job is totally complete — and that includes the little details like sweeping up. Once everything is to your satisfaction, we will accept your payment and you will feel great being junk-free!
What We Can Remove
One tricky part about junk removal is that “junk” is a subjective term. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and what you consider to be junk might not actually be eligible for removal. Don’t worry though — the overwhelming majority of items are viable for our junk removal services. Here is what we can and can’t remove:
We Can Remove:
- Appliances
- Electronics
- Exercise Equipment
- Mattresses
- Furniture
- Clothes
- Carpeting and Flooring
- Playground Equipment
- Scrap Metal
- Green Waste (Plants, tree debris, etc.)
We Can't Remove:
- Oil-based Paints
- Chemicals, Oils, and Solvents
- Hazardous Materials
- Biological Waste
- Filled Oil Drums
- Chemical Drums
Junk Removal Pricing
Of course, the prospect of junk removal is moot if it’s outside your range of affordability. At Spartan Junk Removal, we offer competitive prices because we know that junk removal is something that everybody can benefit from. Prices are generally estimated based on how much volume your space takes up in our truck, though it may also be affected by specialty items such as pianos and hot tubs.
Specialty Charges
While we have general rates based on truck volume, remember that there are always factors that could make the job much more labor-intensive than usual.
Specialty items that are large, awkward, or exceedingly heavy are part of this list. Pianos, hot tubs, safes, and other similar items may incur extra charges, especially since these items are often candidates for donation. This means that they should be kept in-tact which requires special handling.
For materials that require special equipment to remove, such as dirt, concrete, and large wood piles, we also have different disposal rates. This depends greatly on the quantity and the nature of the job, and this is why we make our consultations completely free!
Do I Have to Go Through With It?
We understand how hard it can be to get rid of stuff in the first place. Even forgetting costs, it can be hard summoning the emotional energy to depart with your things. That’s why we make our consultations completely FREE and no-obligation. We want the process to be as pleasant as possible for you, and if you feel like the cost is beyond your scope of affordability, you’re well within that right.
If you want to trim down the cost, compromises can sometimes be made. For example, if you have a lot of standard junk and a few high-effort items such as pianos or safes, the price could be lowered if you didn’t include the heavier items. But above all else, remember that you can always decide to pass!
What Will You Do With All My Stuff?
While it’s easiest to lump everything into the all-inclusive label of “junk,” the reality is that a lot of discarded items still have value. If we determine that you’re getting rid of stuff that could potentially earn you a pretty penny, we’ll be sure to let you know. And if you still want to get rid of it, know that we won’t turn around and sell it for an extra buck — Spartan Junk Removal always seeks out non-profit solutions for items that still have value.
When donation isn’t an option for your discarded junk, we look at recycling. Most items can be recycled, and if it’s possible, you’ll know during the removal process, as we sort each item by means of disposal.
For items that cannot be donated or recycled, we will dispose of them in the most environmentally conscious way possible. This is one of the clear advantages of our junk removal services — you can be assured that each and every item is being disposed of in the most responsible way possible.
Can I Do Junk Removal Myself?
Junk removal, at its core, is nothing more than getting rid of stuff in an efficient and organized way. Of course you can do it yourself! But if that were a viable and easy option for everyone, junk removal services wouldn’t exist. While a DIY approach is totally sensible for junk removal, professional services are often preferred because they eliminate virtually all of the burden from homeowners.
When you get rid of stuff yourself, you might be dealing with truckloads of junk. If you don’t own a large-capacity vehicle, that’s problem number one. Secondly, there’s the question of effort and fatigue. Junk removal is a lot like moving — you’re constantly dealing with heavy loads and large furniture. This is taxing for people in their physical prime, much less those who don’t do it on a regular basis.
Instead of stressing out your body and losing a day to exhausting work, consider calling our team so you can kick back and relax while the job gets done!
Do You Have to Do An Inspection To Provide a Quote?
Yes. While we understand that it’s much faster and easier to do business over the phone, it’s simply impossible to get a good idea of how much the job will cost until we get a good look at the items. Consider your own TV shelf. Now, think of the TV shelf at your friend’s house. Think of the one your extended family uses. Think of the ones you see at the store — they’re all vastly different in size and material. If you were to call us and tell us you’re getting rid of a TV stand, we’d need a more exact picture.
This is why we arrive for inspections within two hours of your initial call. We know it can be frustrating sitting around waiting for a quote, so we want to get into action as soon as possible. If we’re unable to arrive within the two-hour timeframe, we’ll let you know.
Why Are You Unable to Take Certain Items?
We strive to be the most robust and well-rounded junk removal company in the business, so we generally try to take any items you want to get rid of, no question. No matter how heavy, difficult, or awkward it is, you can rest assured that we’ll find a way. However, there are still certain items we’re unable to take. This is not for lack of wanting, it’s simply because we’re not allowed.
The items in question are hazardous materials. Items like paint, chemicals, asbestos, oil drums, and furnaces require special licensing for the purposes of removal. As it stands, we are only licensed to remove non-hazardous solid waste. The overwhelming majority of items fall under this umbrella, but it’s possible that we won’t be able to take some of your stuff. This is why the inspection is so useful — we’ll be able to let you know whether or not we can do the job before you pay us.
While we can’t remove these items ourselves, we do work with local hazmat companies to handle hazardous materials. If we identify items in your home that we’re unable to take, we’ll talk with you about the possibility of bringing in a third party.
