Photo Upload Tips for Fast and Accurate Quotes
  • Show the Full Scene: Take photos from a distance so we can see everything that needs to be removed in context—not just close-ups.
  • Include Background: Make sure surrounding areas are visible to help us understand the space and access points.
  • Good Lighting Helps: Take pictures in daylight or with adequate lighting so we can clearly see the items.
  • Multiple Angles Welcome: If possible, upload 2–3 photos from different angles to give us a better perspective.
  • Group Items Together: If items are scattered, try to group them in one photo to make it easier to assess the volume.
Helpful Info to Include in Your Comments
  • Rough Dimensions: Share the size of your junk items (e.g., width x height x depth) to help us plan removal.
  • Photo Upload Reminder: Be sure to upload photos using the tips in the File Upload section below—this helps us give an accurate quote!
  • Preferred Pickup Time: Let us know your ideal date and time for the removal, or any time restrictions.
  • Access Details: Mention anything important about access (e.g., stairs, elevator, gate codes, parking).
  • Special Instructions: Tell us if any items are fragile, oversized, or require disassembly.
  • Urgency or Deadlines: If you’re on a tight timeline, just let us know
