Current service: Portland–Vancouver through JunkPDX. Seattle and Boise booking is closed. Check market status.
Describe the item as well as the opening
Identify the furniture or equipment, its current room, and any dimensions available from a reliable label or existing information. Photos should show its overall shape, not only the side facing the door. Explain whether it is empty and whether anything about its construction is uncertain.
If you already know the doorway dimensions, include them, but do not present a single measurement as proof the item will fit. Handles, turns, adjacent walls, and the item’s shape can matter. The purpose of the request is to support review, not to certify a maneuver yourself.
Document the complete exit route
Follow the route in your description from the item’s current location to the proposed loading access. Mention hallway turns, interior steps, elevator doors, and gates. A roomy exterior doorway does not resolve a tight interior corner, so avoid stopping the access description at the first visible opening.
Take photographs from accessible positions and label which part of the route each image shows. Do not move a difficult item simply to demonstrate clearance. If part of the route is unavailable to inspect, state that clearly so the reviewer knows where information is missing.
Identify changes that require separate review
Do not assume removing doors, dismantling furniture, altering fixtures, or taking a different exit is included. Describe any proposed change before the visit and ask what can be accepted. Property alterations and specialist tasks are outside an ordinary nonhazardous hauling assumption and need appropriate separate arrangements.
For illustration, a cabinet originally assembled inside a room may not have a straightforward exit as one piece. Tell the reviewer that history if you know it. A prior delivery route or assembly record can be useful context, but it does not establish the current removal plan.
Keep the onsite decision open until reviewed
The crew needs to assess the actual conditions before committing to the accepted work. If the route or item differs from the pictures, explain the difference before loading begins. Be prepared for the scope to require adjustment or for an item to remain pending instead of assuming every constraint has a workaround.
In the active Portland–Vancouver market, PNW coordinates requests through JunkPDX after ZIP, address, and scope review. Final pricing considers volume, weight, labor, and access and requires onsite approval before loading. Clear route information makes that review more useful without guaranteeing acceptance or a particular removal method.
KEEP THIS WITH YOUR PROJECT NOTES
Before you take the next step
- Identify the item and its current room.
- Share known dimensions without guessing clearance.
- Photograph turns and openings along the route.
- Disclose proposed disassembly or property changes.
- Keep uncertain access questions open for review.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Details worth settling early
Can you guarantee an item will fit from photographs?
No. Pictures help with planning, but the complete route and actual conditions require review. Do not treat an initial conversation as confirmation that a particular maneuver will work.
Should I remove a door before the visit?
Do not assume a property change is required or included. Describe the constraint and obtain an appropriate plan before arranging any separate work.
What if the item was assembled inside the room?
Tell the reviewer and provide any useful existing dimensions or assembly information. Disassembly is not automatically included, and the item’s removal scope must be reviewed explicitly.
