"I only trust Woodard for carpet cleaning, tile floor steam cleaning, and water restoration work. I tried another carpet cleaner once many years ago. I had to have multiple calls back to get my carpets cleaned. Woodard does it once and does it right. Woodard also did a thorough job on a sewer backup in my basement. I also like the drop off rug cleaning service and lawn chair cleaning/storage service."

"Bob came to my house today to remove a broken rocking chair and an old plastic yard storage chest. He was prompt, polite, respectful, and utterly professional! We’ve also used him to haul away old furniture. Highly recommend 100%!!"

"Perfectly. They provided me with the information as to what they needed me to do before they arrived and on each day including what to expect from each days work. They were punctual, did what they said they would, cleaned up each and more importantly did excellent work. I live in a three story home with hardwood everywhere except the bathrooms so I have worked with a lot of refinishing companies before. Blake was by far the best."

"Make sure the employees complete the work that is agreed to on the contract. I needed the deadwood trimmed and the canopy lifted 10 feet. After 6 hours of work, the employees only trimmed the deadwood and explained they couldn?t lift the cannopy because of weight distribution, tree health and other issues the arborist didn?t tell me. After some back and fourth, I chose not to argue with him and trusted his guidance. $1200 and some time later, the cannopy is growing over our power lines, along with my and our neighbors house. Clippers is recommended by many but make sure the employees complete the work that is on the contract. I would not recommend using them. Very unprofessional and unreliable. "

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Columbia, IL

To throw out stained, broken, or infested mattresses or couches, call a junk hauler or take it to your local landfill yourself. If it’s infested with pests, you might want to call a pest control specialist near you. If you have infested furniture, there's a good chance you have an infested home, too.

Tipping furniture removal services is not mandatory, but it is a thoughtful way to acknowledge their hard work and professionalism. If you're pleased with the service, consider tipping junk haulers 5% to 10% of the total cost or $10 to $20 per worker. This is especially appreciated when the job involves heavy lifting, navigating stairs, or handling bulky items. Tipping not only rewards the workers for a job well done but also fosters a positive working relationship.

If your furniture is in good condition, you have a few options:

  • Donate to charities: Organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and GreenDrop often accept furniture donations and may offer free pickup services.

  • List online: You can list your items for free on local online marketplaces or community groups to find someone who needs them. Giving away your furniture not only helps you clear space but also benefits others in your community.

The cost to haul away junk depends on the haul’s size. A single item costs $60 to $150 to haul, with each additional item adding $20 to $40 to the total price. Hauling away a full truckload of trash or other junk will run $400 to $800.

Yes, some furniture retailers will haul away your old furniture when they deliver your new items. This service may be included in your purchase price or offered at a discounted rate. It's important to check with the store to see if they provide furniture removal and whether there are any requirements, such as a minimum purchase. Utilizing this service can save you time and effort in disposing of your old furniture.

In many cases, you can dispose of furniture in a dumpster, but regulations vary by location. Some areas prohibit items like mattresses or upholstered furniture due to environmental concerns.
