Licensing and permits
Junk removal doesn't need a special state license, but haulers should be insured and dispose of items legally. Ask where items go and what gets donated or recycled.
Tips before you hire
- Ask for volume-based pricing and a cap before loading starts.
- Separate donation-ready items for a tax receipt.
- Estate cleanouts may need coordination with the personal representative or attorney.
