The calls we get most from Newberg

Every Newberg job starts with a story. Most sound like one of these.

1. 01

   The garage you cannot park in (junk removal)

   Ten years of bikes, boxes, and a broken treadmill. We clear it in a morning and you park inside by lunch.

2. 02

   Moving day leftovers (junk removal)

   The movers took the good stuff. The old couch, the mattress, and forty boxes of maybe are still in the living room.

3. 03

   The family home after a loss (property cleanout)

   Decades of belongings, a probate deadline, and siblings in three states. We sort with you and clear the rest.

4. 04

   The tenant who left everything (property cleanout)

   Furniture, food in the fridge, and bags of clothes. The unit needs to show next week.

5. 05

   The motorhome that has not started in years (rv removal)

   Flat tires, a seized engine, and a tarp that gave up two winters ago. It needs a flatbed, not a tow strap.

6. 06

   Inherited and unwanted (rv removal)

   Dad's fifth wheel is in the side yard, the title is somewhere, and the estate needs it gone.

7. 07

   The driveway boat (boat removal)

   It came with a plan to fix it up. That was six years ago. The neighbors have stopped asking.

8. 08

   The marina's ultimatum (boat removal)

   The slip is due, the boat does not run, and the dockmaster wants it out by the end of the month.

Why now

Why Newberg stops putting it off

Most calls from Newberg come after months of "we'll deal with it." These are the reasons people finally do.

• A full garage means the car sits outside all winter.
• Landlords cannot show a unit until the last tenant's junk is gone.
• Probate and listing dates set the deadline.
• A vacant house full of belongings attracts the wrong attention.
• Many cities and HOAs fine for inoperable RVs on residential property.
• Storage lots charge every month it sits and eventually auction or dispose of it.
• Marinas and municipalities fine for derelict vessels, and the fines compound.
• A boat left in the water is one storm away from becoming a sunken boat recovery.
• Willamette Valley rain and coastal salt air shorten the life of anything parked outside, and abandoned vessels on the Columbia and Willamette are a well-known local problem.

Choosing a company

What to ask any junk removal company

Ask us these. Ask the other companies too. The answers separate a licensed removal company from an unlicensed one.

1. 01

   Where does it go?

   Ask for the name of the transfer station and whether they donate. A company that cannot answer is dumping somewhere it should not.

2. 02

   Is there insurance?

   General liability and auto, with a certificate they will email you. A scratched floor or a broken railing is on them, not you.

3. 03

   Will they sweep?

   It sounds small. It is the difference between a job and a job done.

4. 04

   Do they take the hard stuff?

   Hot tubs, pianos, and safes need a plan and the right equipment. Ask what they bring for an item that four people cannot carry.

Before we arrive

How to prepare for junk removal in Newberg

A few minutes before the crew arrives in Newberg saves an hour on site. None of it is heavy lifting.

• Decide what stays and tell the crew before they start; a strip of tape on it works.
• Clear a path to the door if you can, but do not carry anything yourself.
• Put aside anything with personal data, like laptops and documents, unless you want it disposed of.
