Junk removal appears to be a simple task. Arrive on site, quote items to be removed, proceed with removal, and move on to the next job. Despite this seemingly simple task, there is more to the job than it seems. For instance, what happens when our guys find valuable or dangerous items? It happens more than you think and its always good to have a plan in place for these situations.
Family Photos
Sometimes in the stress of getting everything together, sentimental items can be overlooked. Family photos hold important memories and sometimes get lost in the shuffle of things. At Up Up and Away, our guys are careful to keep an eye out for sentimental items such as these so that they can be returned to the client!
Drugs and Needles

Sometimes when a client inherits a home, they aren’t always fully aware of what the house contain. It can be alarming to find these items, but they are always handled with care and a plan in place. Small amount of drugs are generally flushed where as larger quantities generally have police involvement. If needles are found, gloves are put on and shovels are used in place of hands to remove whatever items remain. At Up Up and Away, safety is one of our top priorities which is why we have a plan for every situation!
