Hauling questions
Common hauling questions.
What can't you take?
Hazardous waste — paint, motor oil, propane tanks, batteries, asbestos, anything labeled corrosive or flammable. NJ DEP and NYC DSNY have specific drop-off rules for those (we can point you to the nearest center). Everything else fair game: furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris, yard waste.
Do you charge by the cubic yard or per item?
Neither. We bill the same flat $50/hr per person — same as every other Brick City Labor job. The "per cubic yard" scheme used by national chains usually means you pay for empty space in their truck. We just count the time it takes and the dump fee, which is included.
Can you haul it on the same day I call?
Often, yes — if the truck has space and the schedule has a slot. Single-piece hauls inside Newark or Jersey City usually fit same-evening. Bigger cleanouts get booked 2–3 days out so we can plan the truck rotation.
What about appliances with refrigerant — fridges, freezers, AC units?
Yes. We haul them. EPA rules require a certified tech to drain the refrigerant before scrapping; we coordinate that step with our metal scrapper, and the cost is included in the hourly. You don’t need to do anything beyond pointing at it.
