We have all been there, its a giant pain in my butt every spring to first get all the junk together. An even larger task is getting rid of it.
One of the most common pains in the butt you can run into as a home owner in the spring is how to get rid of all that junk that built up through the winter. You may or may not be at this stage yet, if you are you realize how much of a chore it can be, if you aren't there yet and you "think you dont have much" ...just wait.
Most garbage services either dont do it at all or charge you astronomical prices to take away even the smallest TV. The reason is they are just not made to handle an abundance of junk, their operation is setup for fast volume processing of trash, not sleeper sofas, consel tv's and freezers. So how do you get rid of all that junk?
Ok well hope this helps!! First refrain from calling 1800gotjunk. They charge way more than a local company that will pickup your junk for you at a fair rate. All the corporate junk companies charge way more then you need to pay.
Here are some tips to get your junk pick up MA cheap.
1. If you have alot of metal, you can always find a local pickup driving guy that will typically take it away for free because they get paid by junk yards for the metal they bring in by the pound.
2. If you are able to lift that tv you need gone, put it in your pickup truck or a friends and bring it to your local metal recycler or Best Buy. Your local metal recycler won't pay you for the tv but he will take it for you and crush it in a car so the metal gets recycled. Best Buy also takes tv's for free, 2 max, less than 32".
3. Call your local dump and see if you can bring your items there, even if they charge you it will be cheper than using your garbage company.
4. Finally if you still have alot of junk to be removed call a small company that will do a junk pickup NH for a fair rate. A fair rate is around $80 to $100 per pickup truck. So if you have about 3 pickup trucks worth and the junk removal company is within 10 minutes away from your house you should pay less than $300.
5. Should those items of junk have value, you should also ask about discounts, because despite what anyone or any company says, if you are throwing out a couch that would sell on Craigslist, they know it will, and they should, you should get at least a 40% off that pieces value deducted from the total of the junk removal.
