Are you licensed to do this work?
Yes. Our company, trucks, and employees are fully licensed and insured. Every franchise partner is registered and retains the necessary permits. Yes, we are fully covered with workers compensation, general liability and auto insurance.
Why can't you give me an exact price before you arrive?
Pricing is based on volume and nature of the material. We cannot give you an exact price until we see how much space the items will fill up in our trucks. Over the phone we can schedule an appointment with you and review our pricing structure. The 310-DUMP crew provides the upfront final no-obligation pricing upon arrival. Factors such as where the material is located, the type of material, and how much you have all come into play. Prior to any work being completed, we will come out and give you the price for your approval. When you are satisfied with the price, the crew will load the materials on the spot and haul them away for you.
How far in advance do I need to book my job?
Contact us as soon possible, as time slots fill up quickly. When you call, we will let you know availability in your area. At 310-DUMP we pride ourselves on helping you and taking care of emergency or time-sensitive situations, so either same day or next day service.
Why are appointments booked in four-hour timeslots?
We do offer scheduled appointments. However, since we do not know the exact size of every job before we arrive on-site, we book our arrival in a four-hour window of time. This allows truck crews to deal with unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic or other customer jobs that are larger than expected. We can give you a call 30-45 minutes before we arrive to let you know we are on our way.
I really need this job done after hours. Can you do that?
Contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your options. Special arrangements can be made if required.
What do you do with the junk?
It depends on what you have. We will take some items to the recycling station and the rest to the dump. We are committed to the environment. We do our best to recycle as much junk as we can. We try and recycle up to 60% of the items we remove, including paper, wood, metal, concrete, plastic, and computer equipment.
Why can't you take hazardous materials?
Drivers and trucks are not licensed to carry hazardous materials. Call your local recycling depot, fire hall, or waste management hotline for further assistance.
Can you move my stuff from one location to another?
We are not licensed to carry items for the purpose of moving them. We can only take away items you no longer need. However, we have partnered with several professional moving companies and can provide you with their contact information. We can also provide you with labour within the property if it is combined with our junk removal services. Please call us to discuss your specific request.
Why do you charge?
Truck crews do all the loading, cleaning up, and taking items to the local dump for recycling. We are charged at the dump just as you would be. Our 310-DUMP crew helps you get rid of unwanted items by removing them from wherever they are located, and taking them to be properly recycled or disposed of the same day. We save you the time, money, and aggravation that is associated with any alternative. Our pricing includes all labour, trucking, disposal fees, fuel, travel time, etc.
What equipment does your truck team bring?
Two strong and efficient people, plus several shovels, brooms, rakes, and sometimes a dolly or a wheelbarrow and other supplies as requested. We do not carry ladders or other machinery.
What is the difference between full-service junk Removal and a drop-off dumpster? Why would I use your Junk Removal service rather than a dumpster?
Our crew handles all the labour and clean-up, removing the items from wherever they are located. We charge based on how much space the items take up in our 18 cubic yard dump truck. Dumpsters sit on your property for extended periods of time, and you must do all the loading yourself. With the full service junk removal, two people come and do all the labour and clean-up and come in and out quickly.
Are you and Rubbish Express (Student Junk Removal) the same company?
Yes. Our brand has evolved into 310-DUMP; however, we still love to employ students when we can. As well, we still have great people providing outstanding customer service.
