Junk Removal
Orem

What the job involves in Orem

Orem is a straightforward place to work once you know it, and we have been working it for over a decade. With roughly 97,182 residents, Orem is one of the larger communities in Utah County, and that shows up in the job: more flats and shared access, more parking restrictions, more jobs that need a lift booked.

The estimate is written, the crew size is set from the survey, and the price does not move on the day unless the job does.

How we run an Orem job

There is no mystery to it. The sequence is the same every time, which is what makes it predictable.

• A look at what is going before a price is given
• Carry-out from wherever it sits — no requirement to move it to the kerb first
• Sorting for donation and recycling where the item allows
• Responsible disposal of the rest, with the tip run included
• A sweep of the space afterwards

The part people underestimate is the survey. An estimate given over the phone from a room count is a guess, and a guess is what turns into an argument on the day when the truck is full and the hallway is not empty.

Nothing here is subcontracted. The crew that quotes the job is employed by the company that turns up to do it, which is not true of every quote you will be comparing.

Moving around Orem

Most of our Orem work sits around Sharon Park, Cascade, Northgate and University Place area, and each of those areas asks something slightly different of a crew — access, parking, the age of the housing, whether there is a lift involved.

We are usually in Provo, Lindon and Vineyard in the same week, so a junk removal job here rarely needs a separate trip charge — and if your move crosses between them, it is one crew rather than a handover.

Orem runs on higher education, technology and retail, and that shapes who is moving and when: the busy weeks follow the local employers, not the national moving season.

Everything here is covered from our own crews rather than subcontracted to whoever is free that day — Utah County included.

The other thing worth knowing is that we work both ends of the state. A move from Orem down to Washington County is one crew and one truck for us, not a handover to a partner carrier halfway.

How to judge a junk removal company in Orem

Ask for the USDOT or Utah PSC number and check it. Ask whether the crew are employed or day labour. Ask what the protection plan is — released-value cover is not insurance, and most people find that out after something is broken.

Ask what happens if the job runs over. A company that will not answer that on the phone will not answer it on the day either.

We have been doing this since 2012 with a 4.9 average across more than 266 five-star reviews. That record is public and worth checking rather than taking from a website.

Booking, timing and cost in Orem

From November to March the loading end is the problem, not the driving. We plan winter jobs around daylight and grit the access before the crew arrives rather than after someone slips.

The last week of any month is the busiest, everywhere. Mid-month midweek is cheaper and calmer if you have the choice.

The call takes about ten minutes if you have these ready:

• A rough inventory, even a phone video walked room to room — it is the single thing that makes an estimate accurate
• Your dates, including the one that cannot move and the one that can
• Anything unusually heavy or awkward: a safe, a piano, a tub, a treadmill, a fish tank
• Access notes at both ends — stairs, lifts, gates, parking, gate codes
• What is NOT coming with you, which is often the cheapest decision in the whole move

Call (435) 862-3080. We will ask what is moving, where from and where to, and give you a written number rather than a range.
