How should our office count furniture across several departments?

List desks, chairs, tables and cabinets by floor, suite or department, with photos of each group. Mark furniture staying in use and note pieces that may need disassembly. Include loading hours and elevator access so the estimate covers the carrying work as well as the item count. Name the person who can approve changes for each area.

Can we clear retired furniture while staff keep using the office?

Ask about a staged pickup that separates approved removal areas from desks and rooms still in use. Identify which department can be cleared first, permitted loading hours and any shared access restrictions. Each stage needs a reviewed inventory, price and schedule. The plan can account for daily operations, but a request does not guarantee uninterrupted work or a particular pickup time.

Should filing cabinets be emptied before an office pickup?

Yes. Review and remove files, confidential records and anything your business must retain before releasing cabinets for hauling. Heavy cabinets should be emptied unless a different arrangement has been reviewed. Tell us about any electronics in the load as well. Ordinary junk removal does not include certified document or device destruction; your business must arrange the appropriate data-security process separately.

What should we check before requesting cubicle removal?

Count complete workstations and send wide photos showing the panel style, work surfaces and attached components. Identify power, data connections and anchors, plus the route to the loading area. Electrical and data disconnection need appropriate qualified parties before hauling. Any dismantling must be reviewed in the removal scope; identical station counts can still require different labor and truck capacity.

When should we send purchase-order and vendor-document requirements?

Share them with the initial request, along with your site contact, scope approver and invoice requirements. Building access or internal purchasing steps can affect whether the proposed visit is ready to proceed. Ask the team to review the specific documents and references before scheduling. Submitting requirements does not mean they have been accepted or that commercial account terms are approved.

How do we keep a pickup covering several apartments organized?

Provide a written unit list with the floor, approved items and photos for each apartment. Separate unit contents from shared storage or common-area pickups, and identify anything staying. Include the leasing-office contact, elevator arrangements and loading rules. We review the combined volume and access before confirming the plan, and your authorized property representative approves the removal scope and price.

Can one property request include furniture at several waste enclosures?

Yes, the request can cover several pickup points for review. Label each building, enclosure or common area and provide separate photos and item counts. Include gate access, carrying distances and collection vehicles that also need the area. The property contact must identify the approved items; the quote reflects the complete route and handling across the property.

What should a storage facility send for a multi-unit cleanout?

Send a numbered unit list with sizes, photos, approximate fullness and unusually heavy contents. Separate authorized unit contents from common-area items, and include gate hours, elevators and truck placement. The facility must confirm removal authorization before work. Agree on the unit-by-unit scope and any requested completion records so your contact can check which approved areas were cleared.

What needs separating before a store reset or retail lease cleanout?

List displays, shelving, back-room contents and packaging separately. Mark leased equipment, landlord fixtures and anything staying in the store. Show which fixtures are already detached and request review of any dismantling. Share mall vendor requirements, dock reservations and the handoff deadline. Repairs, utility work and detailed cleaning need their own arrangements beyond the approved hauling scope.

Plan a retail cleanout →
How do we request removal of palletized warehouse material?

Send the pallet count, photos, material descriptions and estimated weight where known, plus dock access and loading requirements. Explain what remains in use near the pickup area. Palletized contents need review before acceptance; available floor space alone does not establish the load's weight or handling needs. Identify machinery, liquids, batteries or chemicals separately so the team can assess the actual scope.

Request warehouse cleanout review →
What if we do not know how much a piece of business equipment weighs?

Send the model label, dimensions and any available documentation, and state that the weight is unknown. Photograph connections, anchors and the entire exit route. The team reviews crew, handling and disposal needs before confirming removal. Utility connections need the appropriate qualified party, and equipment requiring specialized rigging or transport may need another provider. Do not estimate weight from appearance alone.

Can a business move include hauling at both the old and new address?

Yes, send both locations for review, with an unwanted-item list for the old space and a separate packaging or setup-waste list for the new one. Include access contacts, loading hours and deadlines at each address. Routing, capacity and pricing need confirmation. Clearly label belongings going with your movers so they remain separate from anything approved for disposal.

How should a contractor plan pickups between renovation stages?

List the materials expected at each stage and the next trade or project milestone that needs the space. Separate detached fixtures, lumber, packaging and dense debris, with photos and approximate quantities. Show where the material will be staged and how truck access stays available. Each pickup needs acceptance, weight, scope and scheduling review before it becomes part of the project plan.

What should we agree on before handing a cleared business property to cleaners?

Define the rooms, suites, storage areas and outdoor piles included in removal, then agree on a completion check with your authorized contact. Request photos and property-specific notes before the visit. The removal scope includes the agreed hauling and practical sweep-up. Confirm cleaning separately, and leave time for multiple loads or unresolved items before promising another crew access.

What information helps plan repeat pickups across our business locations?

Share each address, the typical item mix and volume, your preferred frequency and the contact responsible for access and approval at each site. Include billing or documentation requirements early. The team reviews coverage, routing and capacity before confirming service. An account application alone does not reserve weekly or monthly visits; each agreed schedule and pickup scope still needs confirmation.

When do commercial account discounts and invoice terms begin?

They begin after JunkPDX reviews the application and confirms approval in writing. Submitting the form does not activate account discounts or Net terms. Review the approved payment option and account details before relying on them for a pickup.

Apply for a commercial account →
Can our business choose same-day payment instead of invoice terms?

Yes. Commercial applicants can choose same-day payment, request Net 7 or Net 15, or ask to discuss Net 30. Same-day payment is due when service is complete, and an approved same-day account still receives the account discount. Net terms require approval; Net 30 needs additional review and is not guaranteed.

Compare business payment options →
Which charges receive the commercial account discount?

Approved accounts receive 20% off standard load pricing on the first pickup and 10% off standard load pricing on later pickups while the account remains approved. Separately quoted labor, weight, access, specialty-item and other charges are not standard load pricing. Review the complete quote before approving the job.

Review account pricing →
Can a business with only occasional pickups apply for an account?

Yes. An approved commercial account can be used for occasional or frequent pickups. A one-time commercial cleanout can also be requested without opening an ongoing account. Choose the account application if you want the business billing options and preferred load pricing reviewed.

Should we upload a driver's license with the commercial application?

No. Do not send identity documents through the public application. A valid driver's license is required for approved Net terms, and JunkPDX provides an approved secure submission process during review. Same-day payment does not require a driver's license on file.

Review account requirements →
How do we request invoice records for pickups at different properties?

Contact JunkPDX with the company name, each service address and the pickup dates you need reviewed. Include any property, unit or purchase-order references used for those jobs. Tell the team exactly which records you need; do not assume records from separate properties share one invoice.
