Let's be real, nobody likes paying for junk removal and it can be an unexpected cost.

Whats the good news? Our pricing is always extremely fair and transparent. There are some great ways you can help to reduce the cost of your junk removal job.
Mighty Mouse Junk removal is all about making your life easier by giving you the info required to make an informed decision and your clean out more affordable.
Here are our tips:
1. Consolidate and Centralize Your Junk
Think of it like preparing for moving day! The less time we spend hunting for your junk, the less time the job takes, which ultimately reduces the cost.
Gather everything in one accessible spot: If possible, move all the items you want removed to one central location like your garage, driveway, a designated corner of your yard, or even by the curb.
Make it easily accessible: Ensure the area is clear of obstacles. If our team can back the trailer right up to the pile, it makes loading much quicker.
Separate different types of items (if possible): While not always necessary, if you have clearly separable items (e.g., all metal together, all wood together), it can sometimes streamline the process on our end, especially if certain materials can be recycled more efficiently.
2. Disassemble Larger Items
Breaking down bulky items can save significant space in our trucks and make them easier (and quicker) to load.
Furniture: If you have an old bookshelf, bed frame, or table, consider disassembling it beforehand.
Exercise Equipment: Many treadmills or ellipticals can be broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Play Structures: Swing sets and playhouses can often be taken apart.
3. Donate or Sell What You Can
This is a win win win! You reduce the amount of junk we need to haul, potentially get some money back, and help someone else.
Usable furniture, electronics, and clothing: Consider charities, thrift stores, or online marketplaces like facebook for items that still have life left in them.
4. Be Clear About What's Going
Misunderstandings can lead to delays. A quick chat with Kris or our team about exactly what needs to go will help us estimate the job accurately and efficiently.
Walk us through it: When you call for a quote or when our team arrives, clearly point out everything you want removed.
Remove personal items: Double-check that you haven't accidentally left anything you want to keep mixed in with the junk.
5. Be Ready When We Arrive
Our team is prompt and efficient. Having your junk ready to go as soon as we arrive helps us get the job done quickly and move on to our next customer, which helps keep our costs and therefore yours down.
Have the area accessible, free from any vehicles that may be in the way.
At Mighty Mouse Junk Removal, we pride ourselves on being super fast, clean, and convenient. By following these tips, you can help us work even more efficiently, potentially saving you money on your next junk removal project.
