So, you’ve booked your junk removal appointment with Junk Nerds—awesome! Whether you're clearing out the garage, saying goodbye to old furniture, or tackling a full estate cleanout, one thing’s for sure: a little prep goes a long way.

To help you get the most out of your pickup and avoid last-minute chaos, we’ve put together five simple ways to prepare for junk removal day. These tips are designed to save you time, reduce stress, and make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Let’s jump in.

✅ 1. Know What’s Going (and What’s Staying)

Before our crew shows up, take a quick walk through your space and identify exactly what you want gone. Group it together if possible—or clearly label larger items.

This is especially helpful for:

• Home cleanouts

• Office junk removal

• Garage or storage cleanouts

• Real estate or eviction jobs

Why it helps:
When everything is clearly marked, we can load faster and give you an accurate price on the spot.

💪 2. Make Items Easy to Access

While our team is trained to haul from anywhere (attics, crawl spaces, upstairs, etc.), clearing a path makes the job quicker and safer for everyone.

Helpful tips:

• Move cars from the driveway

• Clear walkways of boxes or clutter

• Unlock gates or doors before we arrive

• Keep pets secured inside

Bonus: If you’re in a high-rise or gated building, give us advance notice about elevator access or parking.

📝 3. Double-Check for Personal Items

It’s easy to forget what’s stored in an old drawer or box. Before your items head to the truck, take a second look for anything sentimental or valuable.

Check:

• Nightstands or desks for papers or cords

• Dressers for clothing or heirlooms

• Bookshelves for hidden documents

• Cabinets for tools, supplies, or keys

Pro Tip: We do our best to double-check everything, but your eyes are the best insurance against accidental toss-outs.

♻️ 4. Separate Donation or Recyclable Items (Optional)

If you know an item could be donated or recycled, feel free to set it aside—we’ll prioritize it for local charities or green disposal.

At Junk Nerds, we proudly donate usable items and recycle everything we can. Our crew sorts every load for eco-friendly outcomes, and we partner with local nonprofits throughout Charlotte.

🕐 5. Be Available (or Leave Instructions)

On junk day, we’ll text or call with an ETA before arrival. Be home if possible—or leave a clear note, diagram, or phone number if you can’t be there.

This ensures:

• We haul only what you want removed

• No confusion about items staying behind

• Fast and efficient loading with no delays
