What qualifies as junk? What and Why We Haul....

Junk means a lot of different things to different people.
Oftentimes "junk" simply means "things I no longer want." There may be a move happening, or a life change or a need to create new space. Oftentimes, garages, basements, attics and sheds are filled with items that are still ok, but are no longer needed by the current owner. On old couch or reclining chait may be ok to pass along to others, but not what you use yourself anymore.
In many cases, we will try to get your "no longer needed items" labeled "junk" to those who could use them, at thrift stores, or via donation to Goodwill or other charities. If we need to do some fix up on the items, we might try as well, and then see if we can find the items a home.
Our most popular option is to recycle. We can often recycle all appliances, car parts (except tires), dry cardboard, car batteries, computers, printers and electronics.
We'll come in, restore your space and do our best to make sure your items do not end up in the landfill. It is in everyone's best interest to make sure that doesn't happen. Instead, we donate, re-use, gift or recycle the items and make sure your "junk" is someone else's treasure (or at least not their burden!)
