Junk removal and disposal
Junk removal in Sarasota County FL may sound like a straightforward process. All you have to do is get rid of it, right? Depending on the situation, junk removal can be more of a hassle than you anticipated.
When the Job Is Bigger Than It Looks
Junk can build up for a number of reasons, like when you’ve recently moved or are in the middle of a home renovation project, dealing with an estate clean-out or emptying out your former tenant’s belongings after they’ve moved, or you just recently made a major purchase that requires replacing an old piece of furniture or appliance. No matter the source, dealing with the remnants can be overwhelming.
Hiring a junk removal service is advantageous when you have a substantial amount of junk on your hands. Especially items that are difficult to transport, like furniture, appliances, mattresses, debris, and materials resulting from yard or home improvement projects.
The DIY Weekend Reality
If you’re up for a challenging weekend, then tackling your clutter pile-up might be fun for you. However, for most people, the last thing they want to do is lug large, bulky, heavy, and unusable items down the hall, around corners, up and down the stairs, and then onto their personal vehicle.
Not only can the DIY approach take a lot of time, it can also result in property or personal injury. Dragging a non-working refrigerator down a hallway, for example, can leave indentations or holes in your wall or scuff marks on your flooring. Carrying boxes full of old belongings can also lead to muscle strain or tears (look at niams.nih.gov/health-topics/sprains-and-strains if you want numbers).
While you can call family and friends for support, many times you just don’t have the manpower necessary to clear all the unwanted stuff out of your home.
Even if you do have the energy and support to move all items outside, you’re then left figuring out what can and cannot go into the trash and figuring out where to take each item for donation and recycling.
What a Removal Crew Handles
Whether you need to clear out the entire contents of your home or you’ve been meaning to empty out your garage or storage room, our professional crew of junk removal specialists can help; the practical side of WFT Rubbish Disposal starts there. Not only do we provide transport, we also provide the hard-working hands and shoulders to lift up old couches, haul broken down dressers, and carry out overstuffed storage boxes.
Getting Items Ready
When preparing for junk removal, it’s helpful to sort and organize what items you want removed. Set aside the items you know you want to keep and items you want to donate. There might be items that need to be treated or hauled differently as well. Lastly, mark the items you want our removal crew to haul away.
Household items prepared for removal
Empty out all drawers and cabinets. Remove personal items like paperwork, jewelry, photographs, and keys. Go through storage containers to make sure there’s no valuable items hiding inside.
Not sure if something should be removed? Set them aside in another space rather than leaving it with the items marked for removal.
If you’re clearing out the contents of a residence, our team will happily haul items out of the garage, basement, shed, or up a flight of stairs. There’s no need to bring everything to the curb.
Help During Difficult Times
Certain life events and changes can be particularly difficult, which is why hiring a crew to assist with the hard labor is well appreciated. Preparing to sell your house or dealing with an estate cleanout after losing a loved one are two situations when junk removal support can make a difficult time more bearable.
Depending on the amount and size of items, and ease of access to the items, a small to mid-sized job might only take one hour to clear out.
Where Everything Goes Afterward
After removal, we make responsible efforts to dispose of all items in a manner that benefits our communities. If in usable condition, then we work to find ways to extend the life of your unwanted items.
Certain items may need to be hauled separately to appropriate recycling facilities, like electronics, metals, appliances, and cardboard. Depending on the nature of the junk, such as in unusable, contaminated, or unsafe conditions, we may have no choice but to dispose of it in a conventional way when recycling and donating are no longer options.
Before the Crew Arrives
Emptying out the cluttered rooms or areas of your home or business provides you a fresh new start. Get that garage in tip top shape for securely parking your cars again, or finally get to enjoy your storage or basement space now that it can be used for home projects, repairs, cleaning, and more.
To prepare our removal team, it’s helpful to know if we’ll be dealing with:
- Stairs
- Tight spaces (gates, doors, hallways, etc.)
- Large items
- Distance items need to be carried
