Not sure? Just ask — we'll let you know before your booking.

How to Prepare Items for Pickup

You generally do not need to carry bulky items outside. Identify everything that should go, remove personal documents and valuables, empty loose contents where appropriate, and tell the crew about stairs, elevators, gates, parking, or disassembly needs. For appliances, disconnect utilities before the scheduled pickup when required.

What if an Item Is Not Listed?

Use the custom-item option in the booking flow or request a callback. A description and photo can help the team review unusual dimensions, weight, materials, and access before confirming the job. Hazardous or regulated materials may require a specialized disposal provider.
