How do I prepare for junk removal?

Being prepared for Junk Removal is one of the things that people forget when it comes to getting someone to take away rubbish.

Having things ready and putting rubbish in bags or containers, is a massive help for anyone taking away rubbish. Not only does it make the collection easier, it also means whoever comes to uplift it, spends less time which means you pay less money.

Keeping costs down is always important and if you prepare properly, it means that the money goes on the waste being uplifted and not the time spent at the property.

Access is a massive one that people don’t think about.

If the company has to walk for a few minutes, up stairs, round the back of a garden, or do a mini hill walk each time, you are paying for their time. Good parking access and having everything at a collection point is huge.

Any loose items are better bagged. Everything that can be bagged, bag it. Big items, don’t need put in anything, as it’s easier to carry as is.

There might be a reason you can’t get stuff to a good collection point, you can’t be responsible for your street, and you might struggle with big bulky items that you can’t manage with, but that’s fine! There’s always two operatives that make every job happen and if you can’t manage then it’s best to stay safe and not put yourself in harms way.

Always let your carrier know about any potential problems. There might be a slippy surface, uneven walk way, problems with parking, stairs that aren’t great undfoot. Whatever it is, be honest about it.

Making sure there is good access on the day is important. Where will a van park? Maybe it means parking out front to save a space, or removing your car at the time of uplift. The closer to the junk, the easier it will be, especially when dealing with bulk or very heavy items that could be in potential difficult conditions.

YourJunk will always come with the correct PPE requirements when it comes to uplifting rubbish, but make operatives know if there are loose nails, glass or object that could be sharp and injury. Some sharp objects like to hide and only come out when someone is about to carry it!
