How to Prepare Your Home for Junk Removal: A Complete Checklist
1. Sort and Categorize Your Items

Before our crew arrives, take time to identify what needs to go. Walk through the areas you want cleared and sort items into categories: furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, and miscellaneous items.

2. Clear Access Paths

Make sure our crew can easily reach the items that need removal. Clear hallways, doorways, and staircases of obstacles.

3. Protect Your Floors and Walls

Consider laying down cardboard or protective coverings in high-traffic areas, especially if you have hardwood floors or valuable wall finishes.

4. Separate Items You Want to Keep

Double-check that items you're keeping are clearly separated from items to be removed.

5. Disconnect Appliances and Electronics

If you're removing refrigerators, washers, dryers, or other appliances, make sure they're unplugged and drained of water.

6. Arrange Parking and Access

Let us know if there are parking restrictions or special access instructions.

7. Be Home During the Appointment

We recommend being home during the removal to answer questions and approve the final bill.

8. Prepare Payment Method

We accept cash, credit cards, and digital payments.

9. Ask About Special Items

Call us at (615) 480-8396 to confirm we can take everything on your list.

10. Plan for After Removal

Think about what you want to do with the empty space after removal.
