Removing Junk and Debris

Homeowner Sarah Monzon tells how she called 1-800-GOT-JUNK to take away the refuse from their basement, including demolition debris, old appliances, and a heavy stone tub, along with unwanted books, clothes, and household items. Don Valerio of 1-800-GOT-JUNK explains that their company is the world's largest junk-removal service. Given a two-hour window, all the junk will be loaded and carted away. Valerio explains that they will take away anything that is non-hazardous and work on a set pricing system. Estimates are given before the project begins. Valerio explains that their company makes daily trips to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other charities, with 60-70% of the disposed property being given to these organizations for reuse. The company itself is not interested in reselling the property, rather moving it and giving it to people and organizations who can use it. Pricing is done on a volume basis and starts at $124. Valerio says that discarding old, unused property is the cheapest way to add space to the home. Valerio says their company's recycling and reuse efforts have resulted in a reduction of the amount of material being sent to local landfills.
