Hiring a haul away service vs. doing it yourself

So you’ve watched hundreds of episodes of This Old House, and now you feel like remodelling or spring cleaning your own home. This decision can be extremely exciting for a homeowner.

Whether you need to clear out a storage room, clean out your whole house, or make some renovations, there’s going to be a lot of debris and unwanted waste left behind. However, there’s no need to panic – here’s how a haul away service can save you the stress and hassle:

They do an efficient job

A professional haul away service will do a far more thorough job than you ever could. They know how to break up and separate your junk, and drop it off at the proper facility. They have the expertise, equipment, labor, and experience to remove clutter from your personal space efficiently. A professional haul away service will also have large trucks that can carry huge amounts of waste at a time. If you’re using your own truck you’ll have to make numerous trips to the dumping facility, and no one has time for that.

They save you time

What might take you days or weeks, could take a professional only a few hours. Instead of spending all your precious time organizing and hauling away trash, you can hire a professional and focus on other chores and hobbies. Maybe you could sweep out the cleaned area or start rearranging your new space.

It’s a safer option

Junk removal can be dangerous if not done properly – especially when it comes to carrying heavy items. It’s quite easy to strain a muscle or hurt your back. Furthermore, you could be dealing with hazardous items. Certain items need to be disposed of in a certain way and at a specific facility; there could even be legal implications if not done correctly.

They recycle and donate

America has some of the largest landfills in the world, so it’s a relief to know that your trash isn’t going to be adding to that number. Most haul away service companies have recycling and donation policies in place. It will take you hours to sort through and separate your recyclables from your non-recyclables, but professionals can easily spot them in a heap of junk and take it to the proper facility to get recycled or reused.  

They could save you money

It may seem cheaper to do it yourself, but when you factor in all the conveniences of a haul away service, it’s far more advantageous to hire one. Hiring a truck, dumping fees, and the fuel you need to drive back and forth could cost a pretty penny. By hiring a professional, you’re essentially saving time and money.
