SERVICE QUESTIONS

Common questions

Can I search for a specific item before booking?

Yes. Use the item finder for furniture, appliances, outdoor items, renovation debris and restricted materials. It explains what to disclose and links to preparation guides. Your provider still confirms acceptance and the full project estimate.

Does an item in the finder mean PNW serves my city?

No. Item guidance and address coverage are separate. JunkPDX currently serves Portland–Vancouver and south to Woodburn, subject to an address check. Seattle and Boise customer booking is closed; other PNW coverage has not been announced.

Do I need to move furniture outside before pickup?

Do not assume curbside staging is required. Describe the floor, stairs, doors, elevator and loading location so the provider can review in-home removal. Confirm any preparation in your approved project scope.

Can one pickup include furniture, appliances and garage contents?

Prepare one complete inventory, but identify cooling equipment, dense debris, batteries, fuel, chemicals and unusually heavy items separately. The provider confirms which materials can be collected together and which need another disposal route.

Will usable furniture be donated?

Donation depends on condition, recipient acceptance and logistics. Do not assume free pickup or a donation outcome. Confirm the plan and any alternative before approving removal.

Can a pickup include demolition or utility disconnection?

Haul-away does not automatically include demolition, appliance disconnection or repairs. Identify attached structures and connected equipment before scheduling. Any additional work needs an expressly agreed scope and appropriate review.

Can providers take paint or chemicals?

Ask first. Liquid paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel and unknown chemicals may need a hazardous-waste program or specialist.

Can a refrigerator be removed?

Often, if empty, accessible and safely disconnected. Refrigerant handling may add a disposal charge.

What about concrete or dirt?

Quantity limits and weight-based pricing may apply. Share the material, pile size and access before booking.

What if I am not sure what an item contains?

Do not open, move or hide it. Photograph labels from a safe distance and ask the crew or disposal authority.
