The pile has to go somewhere

What goes in after a storm

Limbs, brush and palm fronds. Fence panels, posts and rails once they are out of the ground. Soaked carpet and pad. Drywall that got cut out at the two foot line. Shingles off the section that lifted. Furniture the water reached. All of it loads into the same 14 yard container, and you do not have to build separate piles for yard waste and house debris. That is the practical advantage of a roll off over sorting piles at the curb. The exceptions are the chemical and refrigerant items further down this page.

Wet debris is heavier than it looks

Every rental includes two tons, which is 4,000 pounds, and over that it is $100. Dry brush is light. Sod, wet palm, waterlogged carpet and saturated drywall are not, and rain keeps adding to a load while the container sits open in the yard. A container of dry furniture and limbs usually stays under. The same container filled with soaked material can pass two tons long before it looks full, and concrete or dirt gets there faster still. Tell us on the phone what got wet.

If part of the roof came off

Roofing goes in. If part of the roof lifted, say shingles when you call. A tear off is heavier than the roof that went on, and it reaches the weight allowance faster than anything else in the yard. Roofing counts as construction debris, which is priced separately from a standard household load, so say the word roofing and you will get a real number for it.

Boards go down first

A yard after a storm is soft, and the driveway is often the only solid place left to put anything. The container goes down on wooden boards so the rails and the wheels rest on wood instead of your concrete. Tell us where you want it, and whether a power line, a gate or a low branch is in the way. Point at the spot before the day and you do not have to stand in the yard waiting.

If you cannot move it yourself

Some of this is a two person job with a saw, and plenty of people are not in a position to do that after a storm. That is the other half of what we do. You point at the pile and we load it and take it. Junk removal is priced by the load, and you get that price before we roll, not after. There is no published number for it, because a downed fence line and a flooded living room are not the same job. Same phone either way, and the same person answers it.

What we cannot take

The refrigerator that sat warm for four days still cannot go in the container. Anything holding refrigerant stays out, the window unit and the dehumidifier included, and we will tell you where it goes instead. Gas cans, generator fuel, paint, pool chemicals and cleaners stay out too, along with batteries and anything else hazardous. Your county household hazardous waste program takes that material. Tires are priced separately rather than refused, so tell us how many are in the pile.
