"Joe is not only cleaning my house to prep for sale, he has stepped up to help me with a variety of tasks. He has not disappointed!! He's flexible, talented and a very hard worker. I love the "one-stop-shopping" he has provided. It has saved me from having to deal with multiple contractors and saved me a lot of time and stress! He comes highly recommended."

"Great. It took 12 hours of serious heavy lifting/moving (and driving an hour out of town) but the team did an incredible job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They were more expensive than I expected, but they certainly worked for it. Thank you Busy B!"

"Let me start by saying that this is the 2nd time this year that I have hired Al's Moving and Labor so although I am NOT a fan of moving in general and what that takes on, I am a fan of Al's Moving and Labor.  Al may not tell you he worked for many, many years for a national moving company and he may not tell you that he is formerly military, but he and his crew are well trained and know what they are doing and are really precise with the detail you need on your moving day.  I am a meeting planner, and it's all in the details and the level of service.  Have you ever had your items shrink-wrapped or paper-wrapped?  Amazing amount of care in their work.
The morning of my move, I got another confirmation call from Al.  When crew arrived, I knew one of them from my move six months ago.  The truck was loaded in 40 minutes and when we arrived at my new location, the  and crew unloaded into a storage unit on site and into my new apartment.  If I changed my mind on where I wanted the furniture placed, they were only professional, patient and kind.
If you are a single middle aged person like me whose friends all are over 50 and have bad backs, do call Al's Moving and Labor for great service and a job very well done.  Buy local.  Call Al.

"I'm giving them a second review because I've used them twice and they are excellent. Moving APT are a family run business and they are extremely professional, polite, flexible and really quick. I was surprised how quickly and efficiently they were able to move me from a small efficiency to a large apartment in a high-rise. The high-rise was challenging because it's a new building and they don't have access for a moving truck to come in. But these guys are really quick and all my stuff is in great condition. They even took apart some of my furniture and put it back together again. I'll always use Moving APT and I can't recommend them enough"

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Wausau, WI

Begin by disconnecting power to eliminate electrical hazards. Then, locate the drain valve and attach a garden hose to direct water away from structures. Be mindful of local regulations regarding chemical-treated water disposal, as some jurisdictions prohibit draining into storm sewers or natural water bodies. 

After the main drainage, use a shop vacuum or pump to remove residual water from footwells and plumbing lines. Complete drainage makes the unit lighter for removal and prevents water damage during the process.

Functional hot tubs in good condition can often be sold or donated rather than discarded. Local classified listings or online marketplaces provide platforms for finding interested buyers, though you should clearly indicate whether the buyer must handle removal. 

Some charitable organizations accept hot tub donations, particularly those serving veterans or community centers. For non-operational units, salvage yards might accept them for component recycling. Always disclose the unit's condition and any known issues to potential recipients.

The reclaimed area offers numerous possibilities for repurposing. Deck spaces can be restored with new decking materials or converted to seating areas. In-ground installation sites work well for garden beds, fire pits, or patio extensions. 

For concrete pad foundations, consider creating an outdoor kitchen, installing a pergola, or establishing a container garden. Local landscaping professionals can provide design ideas tailored to your specific space and preferences.

Professional electrical expertise is highly recommended when disconnecting hot tubs from power sources. Most units operate on dedicated 220-240-volt circuits that present significant safety hazards if improperly handled. 

Licensed local electricians ensure proper power termination, wire capping, and electrical panel updates. While some removal services include basic electrical disconnection, complex installations often require specialized knowledge to prevent safety issues and ensure code compliance.
