This is a hauling company. It is listed because it offers this work as a service of its own, not for general junk removal.

Good to know

• The Tampa owner, Evan Ray, says calls to the Tampa line are answered by him or by someone he trained himself, not a call center.
• On estate jobs, the family does not need to be there the whole time once the items to keep have been identified.
• Pickups can be done without anyone at home if access instructions are arranged ahead of time, for example at vacant homes or rentals.
• Usable items are donated where possible, and scrap metal, recyclables and construction debris are sorted to keep them out of landfill.
• The company cannot take hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals, motor oil, asbestos, propane tanks or batteries, or food waste.
• Active-duty military, veterans and military families get 10% off with proof of service, and first-time text-quote customers get $25 off a job of $150 or more.

Questions to ask before you hire

• How do you involve the person who lives in the home, and what happens if they want to stop?
• Will the same crew be there every day, and who is my contact?
• Do you handle mold, pests or animal waste yourselves, or bring in a specialist?
• How do you treat documents, photos, medication and valuables you find?
• Is the quote a fixed price for the whole job, and what could change it?
