When it comes to getting rid of junk quickly, no service is better than professional junk removal.
\r\n\r\n
But did you know that junk removal is eco-friendly, too?
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal companies typically recycle and donate items they remove whenever possible.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Items you pay a junk removal company to remove are often not just trash, but items another person could use or materials that can be salvaged or recycled.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Keeping items out of the landfill isn't just good for the environment, it also saves money to recycle or donate instead.
\r\n\r\n
If you have items the junk removal company can donate, like to a local charity or to a Goodwill or Salvation Army, they will often provide you with a receipt of donation for when you file your taxes. (Be sure to confirm this with them.)
\r\n\r\n
Here's how it works...
\r\n\r\n
Once the company loads your item(s) onto their truck, they will then transport your item(s) to the appropriate place for proper disposal.
\r\n\r\n
Exactly where they take them will depend on the particular item(s) you're getting rid of.
\r\n\r\n
For example, if your junk removal items can all be donated, the service company will typically drive directly to a local charity.
\r\n\r\n
If some of the items you're getting rid of can likely be salvaged or donated, but the rest of it is trash, the crew will often bag up items that can't be salvaged to be taken to a local landfill or disposed of in the company's dumpster/compactor.
\r\n\r\n
If your item(s) can't be donated but can be recycled, the company will take it to a local recycling facility.
\r\n\r\n
If they can't donate or recycle an item, only then will the junk removal company take your item(s) to the landfill.

The dumpster rental process is not complicated and is pretty much the same from one company to the next.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The dumpster drop-off and pick-up process is simple, but knowing what to expect can make it that much simpler.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, we'll break down the entire dumpster rental procedure for you start to finish.
Once you are able to make a knowledgable choice of who to rent from, book the dumpster with your preferred dumpster rental company and schedule your delivery date. (This is typically done over the phone using a credit or debit card.)
\r\n\r\n
When booking your dumpster, make sure you clarify where you would like them to place the dumpster. If the dumpster will be going on your driveway, ask what steps—if any—they take to protect driveways from dumpster damage, whether by placing wood planks under the dumpster's feet or another method.
\r\n\r\n
Payment is accepted over the phone or online when booking your dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
Remember: If you go over your dumpster's included weight limit or put a prohibited item in your dumpster, those overage fees won't be charged until after the dumpster is weighed and emptied at the landfill.
Move any vehicles into the garage or down the street where they are out of the way for the dumpster truck.
\r\n\r\n
Put away any bikes, trash cans, or other items that could get in the way of your dumpster delivery.
\r\n\r\n
Whenever possible, we recommend being present for the dumpster drop-off, especially when it's taking place at your home, to ensure everything goes smoothly and there's no miscommunication on where to place the dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
Drop-off is also a great time to finalize the pick-up procedure.
\r\n\r\n
For example, should you call them when you're done and ready for pick-up or will they show up on a pre-determined date?
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Step 3: Load Up Your Dumpster
\r\n\r\n
Next, the dumpster is delivered on your agreed upon date.
\r\n\r\n
When loading your temporary dumpster, be sure you follow the rules of your dumpster agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Only load accepted items into your dumpster, avoid overfilling it, and ensure it is ready for pick-up before your rental period expires.
One of the main ways a dumpster pick-up is scheduled is at the start of your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rental agreements include a certain amount of time (typically 5-7 days), so when you schedule your dumpster rental, the drop-off and pick-up are both scheduled for pre-determined days.
\r\n\r\n
At some point on your pre-determined pick-up day, the dumpster rental company will come pick up the dumpster.
\r\n\r\n
The only reason they wouldn't come on that day is if you contact them to extend your dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n
So, if you need your dumpster for more time, give the dumpster rental company a call to let them know before your pick-up date.
\r\n\r\n
Otherwise, they will assume your dumpster is ready for pick-up and come get it during that day's business hours.
\r\n\r\n
Pick-Up Procedure 2: Contact Necessary
\r\n\r\n
The other main way a dumpster pick-up is scheduled is simply when you call to let them know it's ready to be picked up.
\r\n\r\n
However, it is the dumpster renter's responsibility to ensure they call the company for pick-up before their dumpster rental period is over.
\r\n\r\n
With this type of procedure, if you forget to call to let the company know your dumpster can be picked up, you will likely be charged a daily overage fee for going over your rental period.
The dumpster rental process is not complicated and is pretty much the same from one company to the next. Find out the dumpster rental process and know what to expect to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Estate cleanouts often take place during a sad and stressful time, whether after a loved one passes away or going through a divorce, which is why making it as smooth of a process as possible is so important.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Hometown can help ensure your estate cleanout project goes smoothly and gets completed with minimal stress.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Our top two tips for cleaning out an estate include:
Any items and assets that are in the decedent's sole name, not payable-on-death, don’t have beneficiary designations, or are left out of a Living Trust are subject to probate.
\r\n\r\n
These assets can include:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Bank or investment accounts
\r\n\t
Stocks and bonds
\r\n\t
Vehicles (including cars, boats, or airplanes)
\r\n\t
Business interests
\r\n\t
Real estate
\r\n\t
Personal property or household items
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Household items and assets, like furniture, clothing, jewelry, artwork etc., typically don't have much monetary value, but they can have immense sentimental value.
\r\n\r\n
In most cases, the executor of the estate is responsible for distributing such assets accordingly.
Estate cleanouts are never a fun project and usually are the result of a very sad and stressful moment in one’s life.
\r\n\r\n
Whether you’re cleaning out the estate of a deceased family member, getting a divorce, or you are a landlord dealing with the eviction of a tenant, junk removal services are a great option.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Junk removal services are a fantastic way to minimize stress, increase efficiency, and lighten your load.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Hiring a junk removal company allows you to forget about the taxing, manual labor involved in an estate cleanout and allows you to direct your focus to more important matters, like selling valuable items from the estate, dealing with legal matters, or grieving with your family.
\r\n\r\n
Experienced junk removal companies, or estate cleanout services, understand that this is a vulnerable time for you and can offer as much, or as little, assistance as you deem necessary.
\r\n\r\n
They have the ability to empty out a large home full of unwanted items, donate salvageable items to local charities, recycle items that are accepted in local recycling programs, and dispose of the rest.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Hometown makes it easy to find local junk removal companies in your area, read customer reviews, request quotes from as many companies as you'd like, and ensure you get great services for a fair price.
Estate cleanouts often take place during a sad and stressful time, which is why making it as smooth of a process as possible is so important. Ensure your estate cleanout project goes smoothly and gets completed with minimal stress with these tips.
1 cubic yard of household trash/junk weighs an average of about 800 pounds.
\r\n\t
1 cubic yard of loose concrete or asphalt weighs about 2,400 pounds.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
As you can see, the same volume of C&D debris weighs three times more than household trash. This is important to keep in mind when renting a dumpster. Going over the rental company’s weight allowance can lead to overage charges ranging from $50 to $100 per ton.
\r\n\r\n
What are the dimensions of a 10 yard dumpster?
\r\n\r\n
It varies by company. A typical 10 yard roll-off measures approximately 12 ft L x 8 ft W x 4 ft H. However, some rental companies offer “lowboys” that measure approximately 20 feet long and have much lower sides at 2 to 3 feet, making it ideal for side loading heavy debris (e.g. concrete). Be sure to figure in the space needed to swing open the back door on the dumpster (if equipped) when clearing a spot on your property for the dumpster to be placed. These doors may need as much as 8 ft of clearance to open all the way – discuss these clearance issues with your dumpster rental provider.
