Getting rid of the junk

You can count on us to clear out the remaining items to get your home cleared of your things. This can be a big help during a really tough time.

Some people think they should get a storage unit for their things. While this is a good temporary situation, it is not good for the long term. Many times people rent a storage unit to put the overflow in and find that they never use anything in the storage unit. Now you have the costs of the storage unit but for the costs of the boxes. While storage units have their place, they are not good for long-term situations where you are not going to need the items in the storage unit. If you are temporarily moving somewhere, a storage unit is certainly an option. But if you are storing items that you are not going to need back, it is less costly to get rid of them. This allows you to not have all those added costs.

When you do have friends and family help you, you will need to get insurance in case something would go wrong. You want to protect yourself and the safety of your friends and family. While a professional junk hauling company carries business insurance on the crews. You will not need this added cost.

Other options for removing items from an estate besides junk removal
You could sell off the items on eBay or other online venues. This will take a lot of time. You will have to photo everything, box it up, and ship it. To save some time you might have a local consignment auction that you could use to sell off things more quickly and without having to deal with shipping. Usually, those places have experience in what sells and what doesn't. This can help you know what is junk and what actually has value. Without that experience, you will need to do a search to see what people are selling. We are not kidding about being time-consuming. But, it is an option. You could donate items to a charity or do an Estate auction as well.
