Current service: Portland–Vancouver through JunkPDX. Seattle and Boise booking is closed. Check market status.
Define the area and the authority
Start with a map or location list covering the exact common spaces included: a storage room, clubhouse corner, maintenance enclosure, or other identified area. Do not combine an entire development into a vague cleanup request. Specific boundaries help the authorized representative review the contents and explain the task to residents.
Identify who may direct disposal and approve the work under the association’s own process. This guide does not determine governing document requirements or resident rights. If ownership is uncertain, the appropriate association contact must resolve the question before any item becomes part of an approved hauling list.
Distinguish association and resident belongings
Label maintenance tools, seasonal equipment, spare building materials, and other association property to retain. Record resident belongings separately, even when they sit in a shared area. A location in a corridor or enclosure should not be treated as permission for the crew to remove an item without authorized instruction.
Photograph approved furniture and contents by location, using descriptions that match the labels onsite. If one storage room contains both retained supplies and approved junk, create a visible boundary. Avoid relying on a verbal instruction such as “everything on the old side,” which may be unclear to anyone arriving later.
Keep shared access working
Coordinate the loading route with the property manager and account for pedestrian access, gates, parking, and doors used by residents. Confirm any building reservations or entry requirements. Staging should not block exits or essential routes, and the reviewer needs to know if a loading area is far from the items.
Planning example: a clubhouse storage room contains approved broken chairs and retained event tables. Label each group, keep the tables on one wall, and photograph the path through the service entrance. Ask the manager to coordinate access during the appointment so the crew does not need to interpret competing resident instructions.
Record completion for the association
PNWJunkRemoval is operated by Solely Junk LLC, with current service through JunkPDX after Portland–Vancouver ZIP, address, and scope review. Price reflects volume, weight, access, and labor, with onsite approval before loading. Seattle and Boise are not open, and a common area project does not establish recurring service terms.
Compare the completed removal with the approved location list and record exclusions or unresolved items. Provide the association contact with a factual handoff rather than a claim that every safety or maintenance issue is resolved. Ordinary nonhazardous hauling is separate from repairs, hazardous cleanup, enforcement decisions, and inspections of building condition.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Details worth settling early
Can a board member add items during pickup?
Only the designated authorized contact should issue scope changes. Confirm their authority and obtain agreement on any revised scope and price before additional items are loaded.
Can hallway items be removed automatically?
No. Shared placement does not resolve ownership or authority. The responsible association contact needs to confirm what may be removed before those items enter the scope.
Does the service cover clubhouse repairs?
Ordinary hauling covers approved nonhazardous contents. Repairs, disconnections, inspections, and specialist cleaning should be arranged and reviewed separately rather than assumed included.
