  • Are old appliances recycled or thrown away?

    Old appliances are recycled whenever possible using eco-friendly disposal practices. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other large appliances contain metals and components that can be reclaimed. Proper disposal keeps hazardous materials like refrigerants out of landfills and recovers valuable resources.
  • What types of construction debris can be removed?

    Light construction debris including drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets, and general remodeling waste can be hauled away. Services cover contractor cleanup and renovation projects with proper disposal methods. Heavy materials like concrete or large structural beams may require specialized equipment beyond standard debris removal.
  • How long does a typical hoarding cleanout take?

    Hoarding cleanout duration varies based on the home's size, volume of items, and level of accumulation. Most projects take one to several days, working in stages to allow for careful sorting and decision-making. At Ajunkfreeplanet, we prioritize thorough, respectful work over speed to support client comfort.
  • What's the difference between junk removal and dumpster rental?

    Junk removal provides full-service hauling where the crew loads and removes items immediately, while dumpster rental delivers a container you fill yourself over 1-7 days. Junk removal works best for quick cleanouts, whereas dumpsters suit ongoing projects. Choose based on timeline, labor availability, and project scope.
  • Do hot tub removals require electrical permits in California?

    Disconnecting hot tub electrical systems should be performed by qualified professionals familiar with California electrical codes, though removal itself typically doesn't require permits. Safe disconnection prevents shock hazards and ensures compliance. Professional services handle both electrical and plumbing disconnects as part of complete hot tub removal.
  • What happens to items removed during estate cleanouts?

    Usable items are donated to local charities, recyclable materials are sent to appropriate facilities, and remaining debris is disposed of responsibly. Coordination with families ensures valuables are preserved and wishes are honored. The process aims to minimize landfill waste while preparing properties quickly for sale or occupancy.
  • Why is privacy important during hoarding cleanup?

    Privacy protects clients from judgment and allows them to work through the emotional challenges of hoarding disorder with dignity. Discretion prevents neighborhood attention and supports mental health throughout the process. At Ajunkfreeplanet, crews are trained to work respectfully and maintain confidentiality at all times.
