The Cost Involved

- The cost of fuel of several trips to and fro the junk disposal.
- The cost of the landfill fees.
- The cost of the teenagers who will do you your work.

The Effort and Time Involved
If you look apart from the costs, then the effort required for DIY junk removal is more than you can imagine. You would have thought that you will spend your weekend lazing around and not realizing that it will actually take more time than you would have imagined. Several trips to the junkyard are time-consuming. Plus, the process of loading the junk is very tiring. Remember you are not a professional, you will take more time than a professional service.

Extra Services
The junk disposal companies offer many other extra services as well.
- The dolly you have for hauling the junk is not a specialized tool whereas a pickup service will have many specialized tools for different types of junk materials through which they will be easily able to load the junk.
- When you remove big machinery then the floors and walls will have grime and mold collected in the space which will be hard to clean. If you clean using harsh chemicals, it can impose health hazards on you. The junk service also offers the cleaning of the dirt, grime and mold professionally.
