Contractor’s: Junk Removal Versus Bin Rentals

While many contractors use bins for their junk removal for renovations and new builds, sometimes it is just not possible. Junk removal businesses often work with contractors to make sure that their junk (construction material, wood waste, etc.) is disposed of in an environmentally friendly but efficient manner. Contractor’s, you may find yourself needing to use junk removal services rather than bins if Junk Removal Northern VA:

– There is not enough space for a bin
– You do not have enough waste to fill a bin
– You do not want to spend money on (or do not have any) laborers
– You do not have enough time for a bin

If you do not have access to a labourer, it can be beneficial to hire a junk removal service to get the job done for you. In order to hire a labourer, you’re going to look at paying an extra 20%-25% of their wage after adding additional expenses such as vacation pay and EI. Furthermore, you are going to need to get Worker’s Compensation, which can get very expensive.

By outsourcing to a professional junk removal company, you do not need to consider these additional costs. As long as they have a minimum $2,000,000 liability insurance and WCB, the cost of hauling your material away will be all-inclusive in your invoice.

On a separate note, where do you think your material is going once you fill your bin? Directly to the landfill. Most stations don’t have enough government employees to properly separate each bin drop off that comes to the landfill. They use big machines to simply squash all the material into a pile of mush. Professional junk removal businesses focus on properly separating each material and distributing it into the appropriate recycling area. Most company’s are able to recycle between 60% and 70% of the material that they collect.

Another aspect is the swift service of junk removal businesses. Many people don’t have time to develop the space for a bin, acquire a city permit to drop it on a street, or want to fill the bin themselves. Junk removal companies send trained professionals, sometimes even on the same day as the call, to quickly pick up the material that is unwanted, load it into the back of the truck box, and haul it away. The average time to complete the pick up is usually between 20 minutes to 60 minutes. On big projects, however, it can take up to 4 hours.

The point is, sometimes it is not worth the $100 in savings to have to load all the material yourself. In fact, quite often you will be paying more. Keep this in mind when you are budgeting for your new contracts as you may be able to save both time and money.
