What does JUNK + an airport code mean?
JUNK identifies junk removal, and the airport code names the region: JunkPDX for Portland, JunkSEA for Seattle and JunkBOI for Boise. The brands connect through the PNW Junk Removal Network.
Which company is taking customer bookings?
JunkPDX customer booking is open, subject to pickup-address coverage and availability. JunkSEA and JunkBOI customer booking is not open yet. Each company’s official website or market profile shows its current status.
Do I need to live near the airport?
No. PDX identifies the Portland region in the JunkPDX name. JunkPDX serves Portland metro from Vancouver, Washington, to Woodburn, Oregon, including Canby and Wilsonville, subject to pickup-address coverage and availability. The airport itself is not the service boundary.
Who operates JunkPDX and JunkAirportCodes?
Solely Junk LLC operates JunkPDX with its own crew and owns JunkAirportCodes. This directory connects local company names with their regions and official websites within the PNW Junk Removal Network.
Estimates, pricing and timing
Does booking a free estimate commit me to removal?
No. JunkPDX provides a free, no-obligation on-site estimate. The crew reviews the pickup and confirms the price before work. You decide whether to approve removal after reviewing the quote.
Can the crew remove the junk during the estimate visit?
If you approve the confirmed price, haul-away can happen during the same visit, subject to the job and availability. Describe the complete pickup beforehand, particularly for a larger cleanout.
Is a two-hour window the length of the job?
The two-hour window is the arrival range for the crew. It does not establish how long every pickup takes. A larger cleanout needs a complete scope and scheduling review with the company.
Is JunkPDX pricing based on weight or space?
Ordinary household pickups are priced primarily around the truck space the items take. Heavy objects, different debris types and access can affect the complete quote. The crew reviews the job and confirms the price on-site before approval.
Preparing the pickup
Do I need to move everything outside first?
You do not need to carry heavy items outside to request an estimate. Tell the company where the items are and describe the route, stairs and other access details so the crew can assess the loading work.
What photos should I send for an estimate?
Send wide views of each pile, individual pictures of large or unusual items and helpful views of the loading route. Describe anything hidden or not pictured. Photos help with a planning range; the final price is confirmed on-site.
What should I share about an apartment pickup?
Include the floor, stairs, elevator access, loading location and relevant building instructions. Arrange building access in advance and tell the company about anything that changes the route from the items to the truck.
What if I add more items after sending photos?
Update the company’s pickup description before the visit and show the crew the complete job. Review the changed scope and confirmed price before removal begins so the quote matches the items you want removed.
