They called me in the morning to tell me they were coming. We had a huge pile of junk/trash in the basement and some things outside that needed to be taken away to the dump. He carted what was int he basement to the outside and made a pile there. Took the things that were on the side of the house to the pile. When the garbage truck/dumpster came, they put it all in and away it went. It took less time then they thought.
Description of Work: They took items/garbage from the basement to the outside to a dumpster and took it all away. Took some items that were outside also away.

We used this company over a year ago to haul stuff out of our garage. They did a great job then, so I called them again - this time to get a small dumpster to haul away all some junk and building materials. Nearly everything we had fit in the small dumpster. A truck dropped it off and came to get it a few days later. The company was punctual and efficient and not expensive at all. We thought their prices were very reasonable considering that they had to drive over from Leeds to drop off and pick up the dumpster. And the staff on the phone and in the truck were very friendly. Great company to work with.
Description of Work: Dumspter drop-off to collect our refuse.
