While typically more expensive than renting a dumpster, the all-inclusive nature of junk removal services can be worth every penny for those with busy schedules or limited physical ability.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Hometown understands how important it is to get quality service for a great price, so we've gathered everything you need to know to make sure you get a fair price for your junk removal project.
The cost of junk removal services can be difficult to estimate, even for the pros, unless they come to your location to asses the scope of the project.
Space the junk takes up in the company's truck or trailer
\r\n\t
Who you hire
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
With so many variables to consider, it makes sense why on-site estimates are the preferred way to providing quotes for these types of services.
\r\n\r\n
The amount of space your items take up in the company vehicle paired with the cost of labor will make the biggest impact on your total price, so large amounts of heavy objects scattered up and down flights of stairs will cost more than the same items all piled up at the end of the driveway.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Creating an easy-to-access pile outside not only allows for quick, contactless pickup, but it could even make the cost of your service go down.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Offering contactless pickup by having all your items in a concise pile outside will make loading your items a much faster and easier process for the junk removal crew.
\r\n\r\n
Not all companies will offer a discount if you do this, but it's worth asking if your extra effort to make their job easier would grant you a small discount.
Hoarding cleanups are typically the most involved type of cleanup service a junk removal company offers and usually takes several days to complete. Hoarding cleanups cost about $1,000 per day, but could be more or less depending on the presence of safety hazards or toxins.
Finding locally-owned and operated companies that service your area is preferred for two reasons: better customer service and competitive pricing.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Speaking with only one local company isn't the best practice, however. Instead, contact a minimum of 2-3 local services to compare their pricing, availability, and quality of customer service.
We make it easy to request project quotes from multiple junk removal companies at once, all for free!
\r\n\r\n
By simply entering your zip code and answering a few quick questions about your project, you'll be shown a list of licensed and insured junk removal companies in your area.
\r\n\r\n
You can read more about each company's services, read verified reviews from legitimate customers, and request free quotes from as many services as you'd like.
The all-inclusive nature of junk removal services can be worth every penny for those with busy schedules or limited physical ability. Learn how to make sure you get a fair price for your junk removal project.

Most people don’t think twice about trash once it hits the bin and gets hauled away to the landfill.
\r\n\r\n
The fact is that in the U.S. alone, approximately 146 million tons of trash enters the municipal waste system each year, according to 2018 statistics provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
\r\n\r\n
A large percentage of this trash is actually recyclable, reusable, or shouldn’t actually be in the municipal waste system. The key is being smart about what you’re throwing away to make sure what makes it in the bin should actually be there.
\r\n\r\n
We'll go over some helpful tips and tricks to make the most of your disposal efforts to ensure you're being as eco-conscious as possible.
Certain items shouldn’t enter your trash bin or dumpster, including electronics, batteries, chemicals, paint, printer cartridges, yard waste, construction and demolition debris, recyclables (like plastic, paper, and metal), and tires to name a few.
\r\n\r\n
Most major electronics retail stores accept used electronics for proper recycling. Motor oil and other fluids are accepted by oil change centers and most automobile dealerships. Tire dealers accept used tires for proper recycling.
\r\n\r\n
A good general rule to follow is that if an item isn't safe or legal to throw away, you can often times reach out to a retailer that sells these items to see if they offer free recycling drop-off. If you can't find a free solution in your area or don't have the time, ability, or desire to haul these items to a recycler yourself, you will have to find an alternative solution.
Junk removal services are known for their ethical and intentional efforts towards eco-friendly disposal and are a top disposal choice for consumers.
\r\n\r\n
When junk removal services are hired to haul away unwanted items, whether it be household junk, large appliances, furniture, C&D debris, yard waste, or other items, they'll sort through the removed items and separate any items that can be recycled or donated to ensure they don't end up in a landfill.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal provides eco-friendly electronics disposal, yard waste recycling, debris recycling, and will donate lightly used household items and building materials to further contribute to their local community.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to their recycling efforts, junk removal services are a consumer favorite due to their invaluable convenience. Perfect for those who physically can't move large items, don't have a hauling vehicle to do it themselves, or have busy lives and don't want to spend additional efforts arranging recycling or disposal during their free time, junk removal companies handle all the heavy lifting, loading, hauling, and disposal for you.
\r\n\r\n
For those that are looking for a long term way to sustainably reduce their landfill contributions at home, composting provides a great solution.
\r\n\r\n
Composting allows you to reduce the amount of trash that makes it into the garbage can, and it can actually help you save money in the long run. Compost is the best natural fertilizer out there, and best of all, it’s completely free!
\r\n\r\n
Composting is easier and less intimidating than it sounds for those who have never tried it. By collecting all of your plant-based food scraps, used coffee grounds, egg shells, dryer sheets, vacuum residuals, hair and grass clippings and mixing these items with equal amounts of yard waste, such as twigs and dead leaves, you can create a natural, self-decomposing pile of fertilizer that can be reused in your garden.
\r\n\r\n
The trick is keeping the mixture moist in a garbage can or similar container in a shady area, preferably outside. Stir the mixture a couple of times per week, and within a few months, you’ll have 100% organic fertilizer filled with nutrients—not to mention a significantly less full weekly garbage bin.
Handling large amounts of waste in an eco-friendly manner requires a larger disposal solution. Junk removal companies can handle bulk disposal projects and are the easiest way to have a home cleaned out while having recyclables and donation-worthy items separated without having to do so on your own, but large junk removal projects can get costly due to the all-inclusive nature of their services.
This is where dumpster rental services come into play. As time goes on, more and more dumpsters rental companies are going green, taking notes from their junk removal service competitors and making efforts to responsibly dispose of waste rather than dumping everything they haul off to a landfill.
\r\n\r\n
When calling to rent a dumpster, ask if the company offers any type of trash recycling or clean load sorting. A clean load simply means the dumpster is filled with the same type of material rather than a mixture of items, making it easier (and often cheaper) to haul the entire load to the appropriate recycling facility.
\r\n\r\n
Sorting facilities can handle clean loads much more efficiently, so try to fill each dumpster load with one type of material to increase the odds the material gets recycled rather than just emptied into the local landfill. Examples of this would be a dumpster clean loaded with only yard waste, concrete, cardboard, or scrap metal.
\r\n\r\n
If you're considering renting an eco-friendly dumpster or hiring a junk removal service to haul away your donations or recyclables, Hometown makes it easy to find locally-owned and operated service providers in your area.

The U.S. municipal landfill system is becoming greener, so that’s an encouraging step in the right direction. The garbage you can’t recycle, compost, or reuse can still be helpful to the environment at some landfills.
\r\n\r\n
According to the EPA, there are currently 75 landfills across the country utilizing waste-to-energy (WTE) initiatives. These eco-friendly landfill facilities use various methods to extract energy from the waste sitting at the landfill. One method is capturing the methane gas naturally produced at landfills and turning it to a useful energy source.
\r\n\r\n
The EPA states WTE landfill facilities turn 28 million tons of trash into approximately 2,720 megawatts of power each year. The U.S. is definitely heading in the right direction as far as waste removal goes, but it’s still up to each individual person to do their own part in preserving our environment. These simple tips can help you get started.
Learn all about how to handle eco-friendly waste removal in a way that is not only better for the environment but also better for your wallet in some cases.

Hiring professional junk removal services is a fast and convenient way to clean out the contents of a home.
\r\n\r\n
Follow our tips to saving money on your home cleanout project.
One of the factors that junk removal companies use to determine how they price a project is the amount of time it takes for them to complete the job.
\r\n\r\n
The more crew members or time needed to complete a project will increase the cost of labor for the company, which will be passed on to you.
\r\n\r\n
A great way to cut down on the amount of labor needed for the junk removal company to complete your home cleanout is to get the project organized and ready before they get there.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
A single pile of items that needs to be hauled away will take far less time to load and haul away than items spread all throughout the house.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Some companies may even charge you less if you offer contactless pickup.
\r\n\r\n
Piling up all your unwanted junk from your home cleanout on your porch or in your driveway makes the entire junk removal process even faster, so it's worth asking if your added effort will get you a better price.
\r\n\r\n
If you're feeling overwhelmed with the thought of going through each room and having to decide which items to keep and what you'd like hauled away, this concise list from Good Housekeeping will help you determine which items should stay, what can be donated, and what should be tossed.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Get Multiple Quotes
\r\n\r\n
Getting multiple home cleanout estimates not only informs you of what a competitive price is in your area, but it can be useful to use one company's quote as leverage when negotiating pricing with their competition; some companies are willing to price match.
\r\n\r\n
When researching junk removal companies that provide home cleanout services in your area, keep in mind that locally-owned and operated companies tend to offer the most competitive pricing and personable services.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Getting quotes from local junk removal companies in your area is easy with Hometown.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
By entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your home cleanout, you'll be shown reputable companies near you.
\r\n\r\n
All quote requests are fast, free of charge, and you are not obligated to hire.
\r\n\r\n
It's best practice to get at least 2-3 different quotes to not only ensure you get the best price, but that you're getting quality customer service and the availability needed to fit your busy schedule.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Rent a Dumpster for DIY
\r\n\r\n
The cheapest way to complete a home cleanout project is to rent a temporary dumpster and do all the hard labor yourself.
\r\n\r\n
There are many different dumpster styles and sizes available today and a reputable dumpster company will be able to help you pick the best option for your particular home cleanout project.
\r\n\r\n
Roll-off dumpsters feature a swinging side door that makes them the perfect option when you have large, heavy, or bulky items to get rid of.
\r\n\r\n
Trailer dumpsters are a great choice when you're working with limited parking space and/or need to be able to easily move your dumpster throughout the rental period.
\r\n\r\n
The standard duration of a dumpster rental is 5-7 days, but most companies can provide shorter or longer rental periods to accommodate each customers' individual needs.
\r\n\r\n
It's very important to understand all the terms and conditions of your dumpster rental agreement in order to avoid any additional fines or fees.
\r\n\r\n
Going over your weight limit, overfilling your container, and disposing of prohibited material are all circumstances that could lead to you paying more for your dumpster rental than the initial quote you were given.
\r\n\r\n
Just like junk removal, it's important to get multiple quotes when searching for a dumpster rental in your area. And just like with junk removal, Hometown can help with that too.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Your home cleanout project doesn't have to be stressful with the right help at the right price. \r\n \r\nHometown makes it easy to find dumpster companies throughout the U.S., and we verify the legitimacy of all of them for you.

If you're in charge of helping a family member or friend with a hoarding problem, or if you're a hoarder yourself, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is, \"How much will this hoarding cleanup cost me?\"
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Hoarding services, more than any other junk removal service, has a wide variety of variables that affect the final cost.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Hometown understands that getting the best cleanup services for the best price is important, so we've gathered all the information you need to get an idea of how much you can expect to pay when cleaning out a hoarder's home.
In comparison to other types of junk removal projects, hoarding cleanups are the hardest to declare an \"average cost\" for due to the aforementioned price variables.
\r\n\r\n
What some people consider hoarding is actually just severe disorganization and clutter.
\r\n\r\n
Homes that have been overtaken by hoarding can be very dangerous to sort through and have normally lost some, if not all, functionality.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
There are many different factors that affect the cost of a hoarding cleanup, but if we're looking at national averages, most hoarding cleanups can average upwards of $1,000 a day.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
It's typical for a hoarding cleanup service to charge somewhere between $0.75-$2.50 per square foot of living space overtaken with belongings and trash, plus an additional cost of $25-$60 per hour, per laborer.
\r\n\r\n
It's important to keep in mind that these figures are based on straightforward projects and often, hoarding projects are not straightforward.
\r\n\r\n
The presence of biohazards, toxins, etc., are reasons for an increase in price if discovered after the initial quote is given.
Variables That Affect the Cost of Hoarding Cleanups
\r\n\r\n
Hoarding cleanups can range dramatically in price, with some costing as low as a couple hundred dollars to as high as tens of thousands of dollars.
\r\n\r\n
The different variables at play when it comes to the cost of hoarding cleanups include (but are not limited to):
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Amount of material
\r\n\t
Type of material (heavy, hazardous, etc.)
\r\n\t
Time it takes to complete project
\r\n\t
Location
\r\n\t
Who you hire
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Amount of Material
\r\n\r\n
The scope of the project will be one of the largest factors that determine the price you will pay for your particular project.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Hoarding cleanups are often priced by charging a fee per square foot in combination with an hourly labor rate.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The more material you have, the more square footage your hoarding mess will take up and the longer it will take for the removal experts to complete the task.
\r\n\r\n
Type of Material
\r\n\r\n
Every hoarding situation is not created equally, and while some people have a habit of buying and hoarding new or unused items, others have difficulty parting ways with unsanitary items like household waste and trash.
\r\n\r\n
Getting rid of a household full of items that can be donated or even resold will cost far less than a home full of bacteria-growing waste.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The presence of hazardous materials will likely instantly increase your cleanup cost.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
It is because of how common the presence of hazardous materials are in a hoarding home that these types of cleanups are highly discouraged from becoming a DIY project.
\r\n\r\n
That said, you will have to pay extra for the safe disposal of these hazardous materials.
Structural: Weakened flooring, ceilings, or walls from mold and/or water damage
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Professional hoarding cleanup companies outfit themselves in PPE (personal protective equipment) to prevent unnecessary physical harm and are insured for instances when accidents occur.
\r\n\r\n
While not recommended, if you insist on performing a hoarding remediation on your own, getting your own PPE is absolutely necessary.
\r\n\r\n
The most common types of PPE used for hoarding messes include:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Biohazard suits
\r\n\t
Boots/shoe covers
\r\n\t
Goggles
\r\n\t
Puncture resistant/heavy exposure gloves
\r\n\t
Purifying face respirator/air filter mask
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Pro Tip: If you choose to try to remediate a hoarder's home on your own or with the help of family members and friends, renting a dumpster is the most inexpensive disposal option. Find affordable dumpster rentals in your area by searching on Hometown. You can request multiple free dumpster quotes so that you can price shop and get the best deal.
\r\n\r\n
Time It Takes
\r\n\r\n
The amount of material present, or whether or not there are hazardous materials, will also affect the time it takes for a cleanup crew to complete the job.
\r\n\r\n
The longer a project takes, the more you will pay in labor fees.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Many hoarding cleanup jobs can be completed in 3-5 days if there are two crew members working full 8 hour shifts.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
That said, some hoarding cleanups can be so severe that they can easily turn into a multiple week project.
\r\n\r\n
Location
\r\n\r\n
Where you are located plays a large role in how much you will be charged to have your hoarder situation remediated.
\r\n\r\n
The cost of living in your area determines local landfill fees, fuel costs, employee wages, etc., which all affect the price companies charge for services.
\r\n\r\n
Living in a rural or underdeveloped area that requires the company to travel a long distance to get there will be more expensive than a similarly sized project that is located in a more central location.
\r\n\r\n
Who You Hire
\r\n\r\n
Finally, who you hire to handle your hoarding cleanup can be the difference between overpaying for mediocre services and paying a fair price for high-quality, local services.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Who you hire matters when it comes to the price of any service, and hoarding cleanups are no different.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Large chains tend to charge more for their removal services than small, locally-owned companies.
\r\n\r\n
Companies with larger operations require higher expenses, while smaller companies have less overhead fees allowing them to charge their customers less.
\r\n\r\n
Not to mention, you never know when a business might be running a promotion.
No two companies are made the same, which is why we highly recommend contacting multiple locally-owned junk removal companies for a hoarding cleanup estimate.
\r\n\r\n
Not only will this help you find the best price point, but it will also ensure that you get great customer service, too.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Asking companies if they price-match competitors' prices is probably the best strategy to get a lower price on removal services, especially in competitive markets.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Hometown makes it easy to request free hoarding cleanup estimates from service providers near you so that you can easily compare pricing and get the best quality service.
\r\n\r\n
Read verified reviews from real customers on Hometown so that you can make an informed decision when hiring pros for a delicate situation like remediating a hoarder's home.

Moving evokes a wide range of emotions all at once – stress, excitement, happiness, frustration, and the list goes on.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The average home contains around 300,00 items and and estimated 80% of the items we keep in our homes remain unused.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Decluttering can help reduce the stress associated with moving in a number of ways, like getting rid of unused items and organizing your belongings before packing them away.
\r\n\r\n
Hometown has put together a decluttering cheat sheet so that your move is well-organized and less stressful.
Getting rid of things you never use prior to moving can save you time in the long run.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Carefully packing away items, hauling them to your new home, unpacking them, and finding a new storage space for them is a lot of unnecessary additional work if you never touch those items again until they end up being donated.
It can be easy to become sentimental about things during a cleanout project.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Try to detach yourself from items that haven't been used in the past year and remind yourself of all the additional storage space you'll have to store more useful items.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Start by gathering items that have no sentimental value to you, like trash, old furniture, broken appliances, damaged car parts, old tires, and other clutter.
\r\n\r\n
As you get rid of these items, you'll create satisfying momentum to continue the process and will be more likely to view your unused items as pieces to part with.
\r\n\r\n
There really is something so satisfying about ridding your space of old items and the more you do it, the more likely you are to be objective about items you may have struggled to get rid of prior to beginning your decluttering project.
\r\n\r\n
Studies have shown that decluttering helps reduce stress, so try to view this project as something to be excited about rather than dread.
\r\n\r\n
Remind yourself of how much easier your move and unpacking in your new home will be without all the extra junk clogging up valuable closet real estate.
\r\n\r\n
Keep in mind that many of your used items could be going to someone who may really need it, particularly when it comes to furniture, appliances, and other staples that can get expensive when purchased new.
\r\n\r\n
Knowing that your unwanted items can help someone else can significantly reduce the feelings of anxiety that creep in when it comes to getting rid of your old belongings.
\r\n\r\n
If you have the time, space, and weather for it, hosting a garage/yard/estate sale several months prior to your move allows you to offload items in a relatively short period of time.
The key to decluttering is to start the process long before your moving date.
\r\n\r\n
Sorting through one room at a time and organizing each room's items into a pile to pack, a pile to donate/sell, and a pile to throw away is the best way to strategically plan your move.
\r\n\r\n
Following these steps will help make decluttering and moving efficient and well-organized:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\t
Set a Date: Choose a period of free time, maybe an upcoming weekend, to begin tacking the clutter in your home. Create a timeline of when you'll tackle each room and how much time you anticipate spending in each area. Planning several weeks or months in advance will give you more flexibility if you need to adjust time as other projects pop up and demand your attention, while allowing you to pace yourself.
\r\n\t
Gather a Support System: Having friends, family, or professionals help is a great way to make the decluttering process go as quickly as possible. Make sure to let those helping you know your plan ahead of time to make sure they can clear their schedule and help you maintain your timeline.
\r\n\t
Book the Necessary Appointments: This would include renting a dumpster, booking a junk removal or moving company, or having a donation center come pick up the items you've decided to part with.
\r\n\t
Create Piles: Sort clutter into separate piles for easier handling. Create a pile for trash, a pile to donate, a pile to recycle, a pile to sell, and a pile to keep. For situations where there is a lot of trash and junk to get rid of, dispose of these items first to make packing and moving easier with less obstacles. Rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal company to help remove unwanted items. Once the trash is disposed of, focus your attention towards the items you wish to donate, give away, etc. and place them in the proper piles.
\r\n\t
Removal and Final Walk-Through: Scan the house for anything that may have been missed. Part ways with items that are never used or that you plan to replace, such as furniture, home décor, or kitchen items. Double check that all trash, junk, and recyclables are properly removed. Finally, remove the accumulated piles according to your original plan.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
This basic process will help eliminate a lot of work when it’s time to move. It can also save money by reducing the amount of labor and equipment necessary to get the items from point A to point B.
For large homes or those with a significant amount of clutter, we recommend renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company to help.
\r\n\r\n
Rent a Dumpster
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rentals are a convenient and cost-efficient option when you have 7 or more cubic yards of junk to get rid of, especially if your project is ongoing.
\r\n\r\n
For decluttering, a 10 yard or 20 yard dumpster will typically be large enough to accommodate an average home's worth of clutter.
\r\n\r\n
Dumpster rental rates average $250-$450 for containers of these sizes and generally include a 5-7 day rental period.
\r\n\r\n
The price you will pay for your dumpster varies based on a number of different factors, like your location, dumpster size, amount of junk you're throwing out, and other factors.
The convenience of having someone else handle the removal and disposal alleviates a significant amount of stress and allows you to focus your attention on other pressing aspects of your move.
\r\n\r\n
In a decluttering situation, you can work alongside the junk removal company to ensure they are removing the correct items that you wish to get rid of or donate if you haven't already separated your belongings into piles to donate, throw out, keep, etc.
\r\n\r\n
Many junk removal companies will donate usable items for you and provide you with a tax-deductible receipt.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal costs vary quite a bit based on the size and complexity of the work and can vary in price between $400 and $1,000+.
\r\n\r\n
Unless you have a small amount of junk to get rid of, hiring a junk removal company tends to cost more than renting a dumpster because of the added labor costs, but the benefit of professional assistance cannot be understated when you're taking on such a large and time-consuming project.

Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and being unable to resist the urge to buy new decor, the holidays are typically a time when we're bringing more stuff into our home than we're taking out.
\r\n\r\n
By the time the new year rolls around, you're probably already looking forward to spring cleaning.
\r\n\r\n
On top of that, the holidays often bring visiting family, get togethers with friends, and more hosting than you're typically used to.
\r\n\r\n
Before you let the holiday clutter bog you down, follow this guide to declutter, get organized, decorate to impress, and discover the best ways to streamline it all.
If you haven't already, it's time to swap out your spring/summer clothes with your fall/winter gear.
\r\n\r\n
Having two separate wardrobes that you can pack away after the season changes allows you to...
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Have more space in your closets/dressers
\r\n\t
Find clothing you actually want to wear much easier
\r\n\t
Have space for new pieces you might accumulate over the upcoming season
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
While you're packing away your warmer weather clothes, set aside items that you rarely touched over the past season. Whether you have pieces that no longer fit, have gone out of style, or they're falling apart at the seams, get rid of these items before you pack up your summer wardrobe.
\r\n\r\n
Similarly, while you're unboxing your winter clothes, set apart any items that you know you'll likely not wear often or at all this upcoming season.
\r\n\r\n
Doing this periodically throughout the year helps keep your wardrobe manageable so that you can easily access the clothes you actually wear as well as free up valuable storage space that can be used for new items that you purchase or are gifted during the holidays.
\r\n\r\n
Step 2: Declutter Unwanted and Unused Items
\r\n\r\n
In the same vein, organizing and decluttering the storage space in your home before the holidays is a great way to clear up space for any new items you'll be acquiring over the holiday season.
\r\n\r\n
A clean, organized house does wonders to relieve day-to-day stresses and improve the overall safety of your home, which is perfect for what many consider a stressful time of year.
\r\n\r\n
Follow the \"6 month rule\" when you're struggling to determine what is worth hanging on to and what is better off donated or tossed in the trash.
\r\n\r\n
The 6 month rule is a general guideline for decluttering that indicates it's best practice to get rid of anything that you haven't used in the last 6 months (other than seasonal items, in which case you can extend the timeframe to 1 year).
\r\n\r\n
In most circumstances, if you haven't used an item in 6 months, it's not worth hanging on to.
\r\n\r\n
Another great rule of thumb is the \"in-and-out rule\", which states that every time you bring a new item into the home, remove an old one.
If you plan on hosting this holiday season, take advantage of contractors' slow season and finish up your interior projects before you invite guests over.
\r\n\r\n
Winter tends to be the slow season for demo contractors, so if you've previously put any projects on pause, consider tackling these projects before the holidays arrive.
\r\n\r\n
When we host the holidays, we spend so much time in the kitchen to prepare. Why not get the upgrades you've had your eye on and enjoy the space you're doing it in?
\r\n\r\n
Or, if you've been thinking about investing in new flooring, take advantage of Black Friday deals!
Step 4: Hire Junk Removal Services or Rent a Dumpster
\r\n\r\n
If you only have a bag or two worth of items to get rid of, dropping it off at a donation center or tossing it in your regular trash should be sufficient.
\r\n\r\n
When you have large amounts of junk to get rid of or heavy, bulky items that aren't easily removed, hiring professional services will be the best option for a stress-free declutter.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal companies often haul away furniture, old appliances, e-waste, demo debris, and bulk amounts of junk and are able to do so within a matter of minutes.
\r\n\r\n
If you have 7 cubic yards or more worth of stuff to part ways with, renting a dumpster will likely be a more cost-efficient option, given you are able to do the heavy lifting and loading on your own.
\r\n\r\n
When you need large disposal solutions, find reputable professionals in your area by searching on Hometown.
\r\n\r\n
We publish locally-owned companies across the U.S. to help consumers connect with qualified junk removal and dumpster rental providers who offer great customer service and don't overcharge.
\r\n\r\n
Supporting local businesses not only benefits your local economy, but when it comes to the dumpster and removal industries, they typically offer the best pricing and personalized services.
\r\n\r\n
Getting multiple quotes to compare pricing and availability is easy, free, and can be done within a matter of minutes!
The holidays are typically a time when we're bringing more stuff into our home than we're taking out. Before you let the holiday clutter bog you down, follow these simple tips to prepare and enjoy the holidays clutter-free.
Junk removal companies typically accept more items than dumpster rental companies do. For example, junk removal service may be more willing to remove some of the items that you can't put in a dumpster, like tires, refrigerators, AC units, or cans of paint.
\r\n\r\n
Other common items that a majority of junk removal companies will take include:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Appliances
\r\n\t
Batteries
\r\n\t
Bicycles
\r\n\t
Box springs
\r\n\t
Car parts
\r\n\t
Dirt
\r\n\t
Furniture
\r\n\t
Hot tubs
\r\n\t
Insulation
\r\n\t
Mattresses
\r\n\t
Propane tanks
\r\n\t
Shingles
\r\n\t
TVs
\r\n\t
Toilets
\r\n\t
Windows
\r\n\t
Wiring
\r\n\t
Yard waste
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
How much does junk removal cost?
\r\n\r\n
Most junk removal companies charge a base rate regardless of how small the removal job is. For example, many companies charge around $75-$150 to come out and haul away anything. For large projects, like whole-home cleanouts or hoarding situations, then you could end up paying upwards of $2,000.
\r\n\r\n
The amount of junk that needs to be removed, where the junk is located, how heavy the junk is (and whether it needs to be disassembled), and who you hire are some of the biggest factors affecting junk removal cost.
\r\n\r\n
