Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between a 10 yard and 15 yard dump trailer rental?

    A 10 yard trailer works for garage cleanups, small renovations, and yard debris—it fits tight driveways easily. The 15 yard handles roofing jobs, flooring removal, and heavier construction debris without needing multiple hauls. Larger projects with wood, drywall, or bulk furniture benefit from the extra capacity.
  • How long can you rent a dump trailer from L & T's Hauling Services?

    Standard rentals run 1-3 days, with extensions available at $25 per day up to 7 days total. If your project timeline shifts or you need more time to finish loading, they'll work with you to adjust the rental period without rushing the job.
  • What can't you put in a dump trailer rental in Kalamazoo?

    Appliances with hazardous materials or batteries, ammunition, and liquids aren't accepted due to disposal facility restrictions. Car tires off the rim cost an additional $15 each, and mattresses are $30 each. Everything else—furniture, construction debris, and household junk—is included in the base price.
  • Does the dump trailer rental price include delivery and pickup?

    Yes, drop-off, pickup, hauling, and up to one ton in dump fees are all included in the $300 starting price. You load the trailer at your own pace during the rental period, and they handle all transportation and disposal without extra charges.
  • What's included in residential junk removal service?

    All labor, loading, hauling, and responsible disposal are covered—you don't touch anything. The crew removes furniture, appliances, mattresses, and clutter from any room including garages and attics. Pricing is upfront with no hidden fees, and scheduling is flexible for move-outs or cleanouts.
  • Can L & T's Hauling Services handle kitchen demolition?

    Yes, they provide light demolition including kitchen teardowns as part of their demo services. This covers cabinet removal, countertop demo, and non-structural element teardown. All debris gets hauled away after demolition, leaving the space ready for renovation work to begin.
  • How do you get a junk removal quote in Kalamazoo?

    Text pictures of what needs removal for the fastest quote, or call for a free over-the-phone estimate. They respond quickly and provide clear pricing before scheduling. For property cleanouts or larger jobs, photos help them assess volume and give accurate estimates.
  • What counts as light demolition versus full demolition?

    Light demolition removes sheds, decks, fencing, drywall, kitchens, and non-structural elements—things that don't affect building stability. It includes controlled teardown and complete debris removal. Full structural demo involving load-bearing walls or foundations requires specialized contractors and permits.
  • Do you need to be home during junk removal service?

    Not necessarily, as long as the crew has clear access to items being removed and you've confirmed what goes. Many customers leave for work after showing what needs hauling. For interior cleanouts or estate situations, being present initially helps ensure nothing gets removed by mistake.
  • What's the benefit of using junk removal instead of renting a trailer?

    Junk removal includes all labor—you don't lift, load, or drive anything. The crew handles everything from furniture in basements to appliances on second floors. Trailer rentals cost less but require you to do all loading and work around the rental period, which works better for projects you're already handling.
  • Can L & T's Hauling Services remove appliances that still work?

    Yes, working appliances get removed just like non-functional ones during junk removal or appliance removal service. They ensure proper disposal and recycle when possible. The only restriction is appliances with hazardous materials or batteries, which require specialized handling facilities.
  • What does mitigation service involve for property damage cleanup?

    Mitigation removes damaged materials and debris quickly to prepare spaces for restoration work. This prevents further issues by clearing affected areas—like water-damaged drywall or fire debris—so restoration crews can start repairs. It supports tight timelines after unexpected property damage in homes or commercial spaces.
