The survey: items are inventoried where they sit — room, floor, and access noted — in person, or through the free film-only video walkthrough survey room, where the customer films and a person makes the estimate; nothing is auto-priced. The quote: the full scope of each job is reviewed — the items, the distance, the manpower, and the equipment — and priced at one flat rate in writing before work begins, never by the hour. The removal: crews lift, carry, and load from where items sit — basements, attics, garages, upper floors, and yards — protecting floors, walls, and doorways on the path out, and taking standard furniture apart when a piece has to come apart to leave safely. The sorting: after pickup, every load is sorted before anything is thrown out — usable goods are routed toward donation, recyclable materials toward recycling, regulated-stream items toward the facilities that handle them, and only the remainder toward disposal. The routing: donation channels take usable furniture and household goods; recyclers take scrap metal, cardboard, and electronics; appliances that contain refrigerant are routed so the refrigerant is recovered by certified technicians before the appliance is processed, as federal rules require; construction and demolition debris goes to facilities that accept it; what is left goes to a transfer station or landfill. The boundary: hazardous and regulated waste is never loaded — no wet paint or solvents, no fuels or motor oil, no chemicals or pesticides, no pressurized tanks, no asbestos-containing material, no medical or biohazard waste. Heavy pieces are not forced through this service: a gun safe or another high-mass asset of 1,500 to 3,500 lbs moves under SIR Structural Integrity Relocation with L/360 floor-deflection analysis, and pianos move under the piano, antique and white-glove service.
