QUESTION: Are junk hauling prices predictable? I have a bunch of trash I’d like removed and I’m looking for a haulage service near me.
The thing that stops me, though, is I’m afraid that once my trash is all loaded into the truck, I might suddenly be hit with an outrageous price. So how can I find out the cost in advance?
ANSWER: That’s a very good question. Read on for a detailed, step-by-step strategy.
How To Get Junk Hauling Prices Estimates In Advance
- When you do your online search for “junk hauling service near me,” don’t forget to add “junk hauling service near me with free estimates.” This assures you of two things: A) The service won’t charge you anything just to assess the amount of your trash and B) You will get a good ballpark prediction of the cost you’ll actually end up paying.
-
Before the service employees come to prepare an estimate on the job, get clear in your mind about exactly what you’d like them to get rid of. (There’s no need for you to haul all the trash to one spot yourself; just be ready to point out your unwanted stuff when they arrive.)
- Plan to stay at home during the two-hour window the junk removal service will set with you. The crew will call you when they’re getting close to your house so you know when to expect them.
-
Be ready to receive a free written cost estimate immediately – you won’t need to wait around for a text or email. In fact, if the cost quoted is acceptable to you, be ready to have your junk hauled away right then and there.
- Breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no nasty surprises waiting for you: no extras, no hidden fees, and no gas or mileage charges. The estimate that you’re given is up front and all-inclusive.
- Repeat this procedure with another service or two, if you choose, so you will be able to compare junk hauling prices and know that you are getting an excellent deal.
Hope that answers your question!
