Will pick-up all types of materials e.g. appliances, books, bicycles, electronics, furniture, mattresses, medical equipment, etc. from households and businesses. A crew arrives generally within one to two days of receipt of the request. Upon arrival, the crew examines the material to be picked and provides the requesting party a cost figure based on the volume of materials and not the amount of time it takes to load the material into a truck. The requesting party then decides whether or not to have the material picked up; items cannot be heavier than what two people can lift. Every effort is made to recycle or donate the material that is picked up. No hazardous waste materials are accepted.
