Junk Removal

Whether you’re cleaning out your basement, preparing for a move, or renovating a home, junk removal companies are there to help. They can take the items you want to throw away and haul them off for recycling, donation, or disposal. They’re a great option if you don’t want to deal with the clutter yourself or you have large items too big for your regular garbage bins.

Junk removal is more than taking trash bags to the curb; it’s a whole industry dedicated to helping people get rid of unwanted items. The junk removal industry is filled with competition, which keeps their prices relatively low and makes it easy for consumers to find a service that suits their needs. Junk removal can be done by the company or through dumpster rentals, which require the consumer to bring in their own junk.

In general, most junk removal services sort through the trash they pick up and recycle what they can. They may also donate or give away items that are in good condition to local charities or shelters. If the items aren’t suitable for reuse, they’ll go to a landfill or incinerator. Some companies may even have a program where they try to keep plastics out of the ocean by repurposing them.

For larger items, junk removal services often work with a recycling center that has the facilities to handle them. These centers usually take everything from electronics and appliances to yard waste, furniture, and household items.

When you call a junk removal service, they’ll set up an appointment to come by your house and see what you have to get rid of. Then they’ll provide you with a price quote, and if you agree, they’ll haul the junk away right then. Some services have time restrictions, however, so you should check the website for details.

You can also take your junk to the curb with the City Department of Sanitation’s bulk pickup service. DSNY has free curbside pickup for items that are 4’ x 3’ or less. Simply place your items on the curb ahead of trash day, preferably by 5 pm the night before.

Curbside Pickup

Curbside pickup is an omnichannel service that allows customers to order food and other products online or in-store, then pick them up at the store. This option is available at some restaurants and stores in malls, as well as at home delivery companies like Grubhub or DoorDash. Customers usually place their orders on the company’s website or mobile app and select a pick-up time. Then, they arrive at the specified location and are greeted by a member of staff. If they need to pay, the person at the curbside may require a credit or debit card.

One of the key benefits of curbside pickup during the COVID-19 pandemic is that it allows customers to avoid person-to-person contact while shopping. It also helps businesses adhere to social distancing rules and reduce wait times for dine-in patrons. It’s also easy for restaurants to implement, and they can use it to improve their efficiency during the pandemic by reducing the number of people they need to hire to serve customers.

While consumers support curbside pickup as a BOPIS option, some retailers have been wary of offering it long-term because it can negatively affect in-store sales. This is because customers often come into the store to make additional purchases, such as snacks or drinks, while picking up their curbside order.

If your retail store offers curbside pickup, it’s important to communicate clearly with your customers about the process. This includes letting them know when their order will be ready and providing instructions on how to get there. Some restaurants use text messaging to notify customers when their food is ready, while other brands such as Levi’s offer a dedicated phone line for curbside pickup orders.

Another challenge for retailers is ensuring that their inventory is accurate, as it’s not uncommon for items to sell out during the pickup process. Many curbside or click and collect orders come with a disclaimer that says items in the order may be substituted for similar ones if those are unavailable. This is particularly true of grocery stores and hardware stores, where multiple versions of the same product can exist.

Roadside Pickup

Roadside pickup, also known as curbside pick up, is a self-service buy online, pickup in store method. It starts when a customer makes an order from a retail website, mobile app or by phone. Customers are notified to drive to a designated area outside the store, usually near a parking lot, and an employee brings the order to their vehicle at the curb.

For this service to be successful, it is important for retailers to sync online and offline inventory at all times. It is also necessary to assign a team to manage curbside pickup at every location, as these teams are responsible for reviewing, packing and coordinating orders with customers. Finally, the locations must be able to handle a high volume of orders at one time, so it is important to make sure the teams are properly trained.

Curbside pickup can be a great option for customers who don’t want to wait in line at the store or those who have mobility issues that prevent them from entering the store. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to paying for delivery-on-demand services such as Uber Eats or Shipt. However, it is important to keep in mind that curbside pickup can have a negative impact on customer satisfaction if the process is not well-executed.

A good way to avoid these issues is to establish a clear, easy-to-understand procedure for curbside pickup. This includes explaining how it works, setting clear expectations and educating staff about the process. It is also helpful to designate a specific space for curbside pickup, as this will help prevent confusion and congestion.

In addition, it is important to be aware of local restrictions and regulations. For example, residents in unincorporated Dare County may not place large items out for collection if they are blocking fire hydrants, water meters or mailboxes. They should also be careful not to block garbage containers, as this could interfere with trash collection and pose a safety hazard for county employees. Additionally, residents should be mindful of overhead power lines and place their items carefully so they do not come into contact with them.

Special Pickup

There are certain items that cannot be placed curbside for regular collection such as appliances, furniture and mattresses. These are considered bulk items and must be discarded through special pickup appointments. To schedule a special pickup appointment, please call us. The department will provide you with a scheduled date and time for your bulk items. Special appointments must be made at least two weeks in advance. Please be sure that your oversized waste is set out no earlier than 4pm the night before your scheduled pickup appointment and is not blocking mailboxes, catch basins, cars or pedestrian traffic. Also, refrigerator doors must be removed and convertible sofas tied closed to prevent opening during transport. Freon must be disposed of separately, along with oil storage tanks and glass.
