There are many options when it comes to Langley junk removal, or junk removal in the Port Moody area and beyond, for that matter. So many options, that the only way to choose the one that best fits your situation and budget is to ask a series of questions of any company you consider. Pose the following questions and get rid of your junk in no time:

 

1. What do you take? The purpose of hiring a Langley or Port Moody junk removal company is to have it take away large, bulky items you cannot dispose of safely yourself. Ensure all items you need gone are on the will-take list of any company you consider. Most take the following: air conditioners, carpet, computer equipment, dishwashers, dryers, drying cabinets, freezers, furniture, mattresses, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, trash compactors, TVs, washing machines, water heaters and yard waste. If a company does not post such a list on its website, ask for one when you call.

 

2. What do you not take? Junk removal companies are not licensed to take away hazardous materials, such as paint, chemicals, solvents, oils, asbestos and oil tanks, so be wary of any company that claims it can. You will have to dispose of such materials through your city’s waste program.

 

3. Do you offer no-obligation appointments? Any Port Moody or Langley junk removal company will want to see what you need taken away before telling you how much it will charge. Ensure that any company you consider offers no-obligation appointments. That way, if the junk removal team quotes you a price you think is too high, you can send the team on its way and move on to the next company on your list.

 

4. Do I have to be at the location? If the junk you need removed is located in one central area that you can leave accessible, you should not have to be present for the no-obligation appointment. As long as you are available by phone to provide approval for the pickup and payment, the team should not need you to be present at the location. Such flexibility proves necessary if you need the junk gone by a certain day, but you work away from home and cannot meet the team.

 

5. Do you recycle? If you take recycling and environmental protection seriously, so should any Langley or Port Moody junk removal company you hire. Ask the company what it recycles and what it does not. Certain companies even find second homes for certain still-usable items. This saves you from having to make two pickup appointments: one for junk removal and another for charity donation.

 

Bonus question: Does your pick-up team clean up after itself? A yes to this question lets you know that a particular company prides itself on offering the best customer service possible.
