What do we haul? Pretty much anything from residential and commercial sites such as...
Items You Held On To But Now Wonder Why: The old tire you kept in case you needed a spare, car parts you planned to use to build a new car (true story: we once removed an disassembled VW Bug from a basement), the two-by-four you were saving to build that hobby shelf, the lamp that shorted out during the Carter Administration and keeps shocking you but you plan to rewire it when you have the time, the chair with the broken leg you planned to repair and reupholster in all that spare time you have, the 286-speed PC that takes 20 minutes to boot up. The thin black polyester tie that you saw in a Rick Springfield video and though would look cool on you. Then again: You've held on to it for this long, goodness knows when you might need it!
Home and Office Furniture: Sofas, tables, chairs, filing cabinets, beds, mattresses, box springs, dressers, desks, lamps, computers, monitors, copiers, televisions, cubicles, rugs, etc.
Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, patio furniture, hot water heaters, furnaces, microwave ovens, dishwashers, outdoor grills, misc. large and small household items.
Household Accumulations: Garage, attic and basement accumulations, boxes, containers, clothing.
Renovation & Construction Debris: Carpet, sheetrock, wood & lumber, water & fire damaged debris
Light Dismantling & Demolition: That old shed or deck falling apart and ready to come down? Let us tackle the project.
Why put items in storage with rentals of $100 or more each month?
...AND MUCH MORE!
Remember: Let It Go...It's Just Junk™!
What we don't accept:
Paint, Solvents & Chemicals*
Yard Waste/Brush, Nuclear Materials, Medical Waste, Political Rhetoric, Unruly Children or Annoying In-Laws
*We regret that we are no longer able to accept paint & related material. For some time we have appealed to the management offices of the local counties (where logic & reason seem to have no hold) to dispose of small amounts of HazMat. Residents may dispose of these items (usually free of charge) within their local county or municipality when their respective HazMat centers are open. Please fight the temptation to toss them in the garbage. Sorry, people but we really tried, here and even went as far as to appeal to WTOP's 'Call For Action' to no avail.
What happens to your stuff?
- Unusable items are taken the appropriate transfer facility and separated by recyclable material, inert debris and combustible material.
- Usable clothing, toys and household items are taken to the nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army Donation Center. Older linens are donated the either the Fairfax or Arlington Animal Shelters. Good used bicycles are donated to Bikes for the World. We suggest contacting them if you have more than 2 bikes to save yourself some money. Please be aware that only good, useable items are donated. At times donation items are rejected. As a rule of thumb, if it's not worth selling, didn't sell in a yard sale, it's probably not worth donating.
- Usable, newer computers and peripherals are donated to the Arlington Head Start program. Items must be less than 2 years old.
Receipts for donated items are mailed to you.
