Answers for planning the pickup
Use these answers to sort the load, describe access and know what to ask before you approve the work.
How do you price residential junk removal?
The operating company publishes free on-site estimates based on the space your items take up in the trailer. Weight, labor and access may also affect the scope. Review the estimate before work begins.
Do you handle single-item pickups?
Yes. The published service covers single items and larger loads. Call with the item dimensions, approximate weight if known, and its location in the home.
What household items can usually be reviewed for removal?
Common requests include furniture, appliances, mattresses, boxes, shelving, sports gear, garage clutter and storage items. Acceptance depends on the item and local disposal requirements, so provide the full list.
What should stay out of the general load?
Keep paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, automotive fluids, batteries, compressed gas cylinders and other hazardous household products separate. Farragut points residents to the Knox County Solid Waste Management Facility for household hazardous waste.
Do I need to carry items to the curb?
The service is designed to include lifting and loading. Clear a safe path and explain stairs, tight turns, gates, elevators and long carries before the pickup.
Should I disassemble furniture first?
Usually, leave large pieces assembled until the crew can assess the route unless the company asks you to take a specific step. Remove personal contents and secure loose shelves or drawers if requested.
What should I do with a refrigerator?
Ask whether the crew accepts it and what preparation is required. Refrigerators contain refrigerants and other materials that need proper recovery. Never cut refrigerant lines yourself.
Can you remove items from a garage, basement or upper floor?
Describe the exact location and access during the first call. Stairs, low ceilings, narrow doors and long carries can change labor and equipment needs.
How should I prepare for pickup day?
Confirm the item list, remove personal belongings, clear a walking route, secure pets and keep children away from the work path. Point out fragile floors, walls or door trim.
Do you serve Farragut?
Yes. The operating company lists Farragut among its published service communities.
