"They worked around my schedule to deliver the product even though it was just a small quantity of sand 4 tons. I will use them for all my future hauling needs."

"They arrived with 3 men on time and ready to work. Most of the items removed had to be hauled up from our basement. Lots and lots of repetitive up/down the stairs. These guys worked at an amazing pace and all the while were pleasant and extremely respectful. If they came across an item that they thought was valuable and we may not wish to discard, they brought the item to us and asked (even a checque from Christmas that hadn't been cashed). We were so impressed with the amount of work they got done for the price that we asked them to return the following day to remove more items. We've recommended them heartily to anyone and everyone who might have the slightest interest in this type of service. It is comforting to know that most items are donated or recycled, and not everything was going to the dump. Highly recommend! <br />"

"We contacted them in the morning and that evening we got a text from the company asking for details of the copier to be removed. We sent a picture and the weight and received a quote immediately and an estimate of the time they would come to remove it the next day. And true to time Jim arrived within that 2 hour window and with the help of my husband, removed the copier. Jim was courteous, efficient and reduced the price because we helped him load it. When we have more things to haul away, we will definitely call them."

"Had to move larger items than usual from my business here, to S. California local. Place I normally used backed out last minute. Scrambling, I found this place. Boy am I glad I did. Completely saved my butt & pricing was way better than those other companies were. Even the one I usually use. They packed up everything for me! I didn't have to do squat. A bonus! Very happy. Will hire in the future."

"The basement drain started backing up so gave these guys a call since I've used them in the past (see previous post).  They were out that day -- very responsive.  On the first trip, they were unable to find the main line clean-out so they went through a toilet (after removing it) and snaked the main sewer drain.  I have two trees in the front yard and the roots from one or both found the jackpot in the main sewer line.  They found the clog, but the snake got snagged and they were unable to retrieve it in a timely fashion.  They finally got it out and decided to go in with the camera.  However, they were unable to get it past the first trap and finally had to give up.  The main drain was flowing fine so they called it a day.  They had run out of some type of adapter to reinstall the toiled so one of the guys took off to find one.  Took about 45 minutes.  When he got back, they discovered they didn't have a masonry bit to install the adapter.  Guy went back out for another 30 mins.  Got back, reattached the toilet.  $451. <br /> Two weeks later the drain backed up again.  I called that night and they were back out the next morning.  Again, very responsive.  By this time I had found the main clean-out, but it was behind the furnace and the clean-out faced the furnace so no real room to work.  Went in again through the toilet and water started flowing fine.  They found A fem hygiene product and A baby wipe (my daughter and grandson are staying with me, so.... yea). <br /> I had them feed the camera through the clean-out this time (tight, but it worked fine) and the pipe looked good; a few roots still noticeable, so not sure how ONE fem hygiene product and ONE baby wipe could have caused a clog in a 4" pipe.  Water flowed fine and continues to do so two months later.  $200 for second visit. <br /> NOTES: <br /> 1.  I started using copper sulfate (Zep - get at big box store - thanks YouTube) to kill those roots.  $13 a pop, a few times a year vs. $650. <br /> 2.  Not happy it took two trips or that they didn't have all the parts, so it wasted my time. <br /> 3.  If it does happen again, I feel I'd use a national chain simply because they've probably done 1000's of these and it may cost less. <br /> 4.  They don't give you a receipt on the visit (two carbon sheet manual system) so they'll e-mail you a copy in a week or so.  Hence, "B" for Professionalism. <br /> 5.  If they go through a toilet, they can't use the 4" cutter (for the 4" main).  Not sure why they didn't push the snake to the main clean-out then swap the cutters.  They suggested a new clean-out outside. <br />"

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Harlan, IA

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. It's best to check with your local waste management authorities or dumpster rental company to understand what's allowed.
