FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything people ask before booking. If your question is not here, call (202) 534-5247 — we would rather answer it than have you guess.

Quotes & payment

How much does junk removal cost?

It depends on volume — how much of the truck your load fills — rather than on how long the job takes, so we quote every job individually. Send a photo or we look at it on arrival, and you get a firm figure before anything is lifted.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Quoting on volume means a fast crew never costs you more than a slow one, and the figure is agreed before we start.

Will the quote change once you see it?

We confirm it on site, looking at the actual load, before anything is lifted. Once you agree, that is what you pay.

Is a quote free?

Yes, always, with no obligation — including on-site walkthroughs for larger jobs like estate cleanouts.

How do I pay?

Card, cash or bank transfer on completion. Commercial jobs can be invoiced.

Booking & timing

How soon can you come out?

We work Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Call in the morning and we can often fit you in that week, and jobs in our core Prince George's County area get the quickest turnaround.

Do you work weekends?

No — we are open Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm and closed Saturday and Sunday. If a weekend is the only time that works for you, call and ask; we will tell you honestly whether we can arrange anything.

Do I need to be there?

For the on-site quote and the go-ahead, yes. After that you are welcome to leave us to it.

How much notice do you need?

Very little for small jobs in the core area. For estate cleanouts, demolition or anything beyond 25 miles, a few days lets us send the right crew and hold a firm window.

What we take

What can you take?

Furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, household clutter, garden waste, construction debris, sheds, hot tubs, scrap metal — effectively anything that is not hazardous.

What will you not take?

Paint, solvents, oil, chemicals, asbestos, and medical or biohazard waste. Your county runs household hazardous waste drop-off days for these, and we will point you to them.

Do you take fridges and freezers?

Yes. They contain refrigerant that must be recovered by a certified process, which is why municipal collection excludes them.

Do I have to move things to the kerb?

No. We carry everything out from wherever it is — basement, attic, upstairs bedroom.

Coverage

What areas do you cover?

34 communities across Maryland, Washington DC & Northern Virginia, from our base in Clinton, Maryland. Fastest response is inside a ten-mile ring.

My town is not on your list — can you still come?

Probably. The listed areas are where we work most often, not a hard boundary. Call (202) 534-5247 and we will tell you straight away.

Do you charge more further out?

The minimum load charge rises with distance. The per-volume rate does not.

Trust & safety

My building or HOA needs paperwork before you can work here.

Tell us when you book and we will sort out what they need in advance, so nobody is held up at the door on the day.

What happens if something valuable turns up?

We set it aside and show you. Documents, photographs, jewellery and cash are never binned — that is a fixed rule with our crews.

What do you do with what you take?

Donation first where items are usable, then recycling for metal and green waste, then legal disposal for the rest.

Will you damage my floors or walls?

We use floor protection and dismantle where needed. Customers mention this specifically in reviews — "good attention to detail of protecting furniture and walls". If something does go wrong, tell us straight away and we will put it right.
