How to Request for Special Clean Up

Cleaning, Moving or Remodeling or Just Needing Some Help Removing Trash? If you need a special clean up, we can help!

If you have extra garbage and want to request a special clean up, we can provide that service for a fee. The cost of a “special clean up” has a minimum fee of $75.00 with an hourly rate of $181.00

Do NOT pay your hauler. It is not legal from them to accept any type of cash or gift from you. Please follow as listed below:
