You've booked your junk removal appointment—congratulations on taking the first step to a clutter-free space! But now you might be wondering: "What do I need to do before the crew arrives?" Don't worry—we do all the heavy lifting. But there are a few simple things you can do to make the process smoother and potentially save money.
Good news: You don't NEED to do anything! JunkPal handles everything from start to finish. These tips are optional ways to speed things up.
Pre-Removal Checklist
Identify What Goes
Walk through your space and make a mental note (or a list!) of everything you want removed. This helps the crew work efficiently and ensures nothing important gets taken by mistake.
Check for Personal Items
Before we take that old dresser, check all the drawers! Look through furniture, boxes, and containers for personal items, documents, jewelry, or cash you may have forgotten about.
Clear a Path
If possible, make sure there's a clear path from the items to the exit. This helps our crew work faster and safer, which can reduce your overall cost.
Consolidate Items (Optional)
If you have items scattered throughout your home, consider gathering them in one area. This isn't required—we'll collect items from anywhere—but it can speed things up.
Separate Donations
If you have items in good condition, let us know! JunkPal partners with local charities. We'll make sure usable items find a new home instead of going to the landfill.
What We Can't Take
While we remove almost anything, there are some items we can't accept due to safety and environmental regulations:
If you're unsure about an item, just ask! We're happy to help you figure out the best disposal method.
