It’s Worth asking regular dumpster rental places. Some around here have clean out crews.

Their web sites should indicate if they have the service. They will have before and after photos to market it.

Wife checked with "Home Advisor" about doing some landscape work and got a quote that worked out to $80/hour

Gonna talk to a neighbor's "yard man" later today and see if he's any better.

I checked Home advisor for some concrete work and the prices were about double the companies that don't use them are.  Niece used home Advisor for junk removal and paid way to much

I have used them in the past, most of the stuff I put in the driveway, and they just put it on their truck, Last time I had a sofa I wanted removed and they had trouble getting it out the door, even though I told them how it was brought in, was not impressed.

Put it at the curb with a price tag—someone will take it.

I got a quote for $600 to haul some junk away. I said 'too much' and offered half. He accepted on the spot.

Got Junk is super expensive. I called my regular trash company and they told me to by a Bagster bag and fill it. They charged me about a 1/3rd of what got junk quoted.

^^^^^^^^^^  this


     Twice a year, as part of the trash pickup we pay for, we can schedule a 'bulk pick up."

     Or, they have multiple sizes of roll off bins, bags, barrels, etc. that you can fill up and they
     haul off.

     Likely, that would be the cheapest route to go.

I've never paid for it.
I'll buy huge trash bags and fill those up and crush them down some. We have 95 gallon trash can things, so I'll set out one or two of the bags each week till it's gone.
A restaurant I do business with has a dumpster they let me use sometimes.
An apartment place lets me use their dumpster sometimes.

Bigger stuff gets cut up and bagged. Other stuff like wood gets burned.

I've long wondered about their business model.  Clearly they make money hauling away junk.  But do they have a secondary revenue stream re-selling the junk to flea marketers or to recyclers?

Otherwise they have to pay to get rid of the junk they collect.
