Choosing a Junk Removal Service (“a/k/a – Junkology 101”)
As with other services, all junk removal companies are not created equal. Inventory the items you would like removed and take a moment to decide what type of junk removal service can best complete your task. Here are some points to keep in mind.

What does Professional Mean?
A professional junk removal service goes beyond being physically capable of picking up your junk. You also want your removed items properly disposed. Remember, you are legally responsible, along with the junk hauler, if your items are improperly dumped. This is an example of the need for professionalism.. Some simple indicators of whether or not a particular junk hauler runs a professional operation include: Do they answer the phone during business hours? If not, do they return your call quickly? Do they sound knowledgeable? Another great way to determine whether or not they are a professional service is to find out whether or not they carry insurance and the proper local licenses.
