Tips for junk removal estimates
- State the truck size in the volume line so "half load" means the same thing every time.
- List local disposal surcharges as their own lines; they change by county.
- Use the estimate for the over-the-phone range and the invoice for the on-site price.
Junk removal terms included
- The final price is confirmed on site by volume before loading.
- Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, fuel) is not accepted unless listed.
Plus standard validity and payment terms. Edit all of them to match your policies and local law.
