Junk Removal: Your Questions Answered by She Does Hauling
Living in
Harrisburg and surrounding, and finally ready to tackle that garage full of clutter or that old shed in the backyard? You’ve probably got questions. At She Does Hauling, our mission is to make junk removal as simple and stress-free as possible. We've compiled the most frequent questions we get from our clients to give you the clarity you need.
General Service Questions
1. What types of items do you remove ?
We remove just about anything! As your local junk removal experts, we routinely handle:
- Old Furniture: Couches, tables, chairs, and more.
- Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc.
- Electronics: TVs, computers, printers, and other e-waste.
- Mattresses & Carpets
- Yard Waste & Outdoor Clutter
- Construction & Demolition Debris from renovation projects.
- And much more! From storage unit cleanouts to hot tubs and sheds.
2. Are there any items you don’t take?
Yes, but the list is very short. Our specialized Household Hazardous Waste Removal & Disposal service allows us to safely handle many common items like paints, chemicals, batteries, and propane tanks.
However, for the safety of our team, our community, and the environment, there are extremely dangerous materials that no reputable junk removal company can legally accept. These include:
- Explosives or Ammunition
- Radioactive Materials
- Biological or Medical Waste (e.g., sharps, surgical waste)
- Unknown or Unlabeled Chemical Containers
When in doubt, just ask! We are here to advise you. If we can safely handle and dispose of your hazardous items, we will. If we can't, we will always provide guidance on the proper disposal channels in Harrisburg.
3. Do you offer same-day service ?
Yes, we do! We pride ourselves on being fast and reliable. While we recommend scheduling ahead to guarantee a spot, we often have availability for same-day or next-day service to help you clear your clutter quickly.
4. Do I need to be home during the removal?
It’s helpful for you to be there at the start to point out what needs to go. Once we’ve agreed on a price, you are free to stay or go. Many of our customers in Harrisburg appreciate that they can just leave us with a key or garage code and come back to a clean space.
Pricing & Estimates
5. How do you determine pricing?
Our pricing is simple and transparent. We base it on the volume (how much space your items take up in our truck) and the labor involved. You don’t pay by weight, which keeps things straightforward.
6. Do you offer free estimates ?
Absolutely! We offer free, no-obligation estimates. You can send us photos via text or email, and we’ll give you an upfront quote. We believe in no hidden fees, so the price we quote is the price you pay, unless the job scope changes.
7. Do you charge extra for heavy items like appliances or hot tubs?
Heavy or complex items like hot tubs, pianos, or large appliances may affect the price due to the extra labor and equipment required. We will always be transparent about this during the estimate so there are no surprises.
Our Eco-Friendly Disposal & Your Peace of Mind
8. What do you do with the junk you haul away?
We are deeply committed to keeping Harrisburg beautiful. We don’t just dump everything. We carefully sort everything we collect to maximize recycling and donations.
9. Do you recycle or donate items?
Yes! This is a core part of our "eco-friendly" promise. We:
- Donate gently used furniture, clothing, and household goods to local Harrisburg charities.
- Recycle metals, electronics, plastics, and more.
- Responsibly dispose of the rest, ensuring items like mattresses and appliances are processed correctly.
10. Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, She Does Hauling is fully licensed and insured. This protects you, your property, and our team, giving you complete peace of mind.
Preparing for Your Haul
11. How should I prepare for my junk removal appointment?
The best thing you can do is clearly identify the items you want removed. If items are in a garage, basement, or shed, please ensure we have a clear and safe path for our team to access them.
12. Do you handle all the lifting?
That’s why you hire us! We handle all the heavy lifting, loading, and cleanup. Our service is designed to be completely stress-free for you.
13. What if I have more junk than I thought on pickup day?
No problem! This happens often. We’ll simply reassess the volume and give you a new price for the additional items. We will always get your approval before we load anything extra.
Specialized Services
14. Do you offer estate cleanouts or hoarding cleanups?
Yes, we specialize in both. We approach estate cleanouts with respect and efficiency, and we handle hoarding cleanup services with compassion and discretion. We manage these sensitive situations professionally, helping you reclaim your space and peace of mind.
15. Can you really remove a hot tub or shed?
We sure can! Our Hot Tub & Shed Removal service includes safe dismantling and hauling. We have the tools and expertise to handle these large outdoor items safely.
16. Do you provide services for businesses?
Absolutely. Our Commercial Cleanouts are perfect for offices, retail spaces, and landlords in Harrisburg needing efficient junk removal with minimal disruption.
