10 Things to Do Before Your Junk Removal Pickup
A quick checklist to make your Denver junk removal faster, cheaper, and hassle-free.
The big three: text a photo for a flat quote, pull out anything you’re keeping (check drawers!), and set aside hazardous items we can’t take. Do those and pickup day is easy.
- Text a photo for a flat quote. A clear picture of the pile gets you an accurate, all-in price in minutes — no guessing.
- Separate what you’re keeping. Pull out anything staying, and double-check for keepsakes so nothing leaves by accident.
- Check drawers, cushions & pockets. Cash, jewelry, and documents hide in furniture headed out the door — give it one last look.
- Set aside hazardous items. Paint, chemicals, motor oil, and propane can’t go on the truck — route those to a hazardous waste drop-off.
- Pull out donations you want credited to you. If you want your own tax receipt, drop those separately — otherwise we donate usable items for you.
- Clear a path. A quick sweep of the route from the item to the door speeds things up and protects your walls and floors.
- Secure pets. Doors will be open and crew will be moving — a closed room keeps pets safe and calm.
- Confirm the flat price upfront. Know your number before work starts. With us it’s all-in — labor, stairs, and disposal included.
- Have payment ready. Ask which methods are accepted so checkout is quick when the job’s done.
- Book your slot early in the day. Same-day fills up — call or text by 2pm (earlier is better) to lock in an afternoon pickup.

Before Your Pickup FAQ
Do I need to move everything outside before junk removal?
No. A full-service crew like Junk Same Day carries items out from any floor — you don’t have to drag anything to the curb. Getting items curbside can lower the price, but it’s never required.
What won’t junk removal take?
Household hazardous waste — paint, motor oil, chemicals, propane tanks, and similar — can’t go on the truck. Set those aside for a hazardous waste drop-off. Almost everything else is fair game.
How do I get an accurate quote?
Text a photo of the pile. A clear picture (or a quick video for a big job) lets us give you a flat, all-in price in minutes — far more accurate than describing it over the phone.
How far ahead should I book same-day pickup?
Reach out earlier in the day for the best same-day slot. Call or text by 2pm and we can usually be there the same afternoon — but morning requests get first pick of the schedule.
