Terms, Before You Point at Anything
How the price works, what can't go on the truck, whose receipt the donation is, and where the truck goes. Plain words, no small print.
The price
Quotes come off the public chart, by how much of the truck the load fills, based on what you describe or photograph. When the hauler's people arrive they look at the actual pile and confirm the number before a single item is lifted. That confirmed number is the bill. If the pile turns out bigger than the photos suggested — the "oh, and the shed" moment — the new figure is said out loud first, and you can say no at that point without owing anything for the trip. Nothing gets loaded on a number you haven't approved.
What rides, and what can't
If two people can carry it or dolly it, it almost certainly goes. What doesn't: open paint, stains and solvents (Ada County's hazardous-waste program takes those), anything suspected of being asbestos (licensed abatement only), and loads the hauler judges unsafe to lift. Fridges and freezers ride, and their refrigerant is recovered at a certified facility before the steel is scrapped.
Donations and receipts
Where part of a load is donated, the receipt is issued to you and any tax deduction is yours to claim. We don't appraise items, and whether a charity accepts a particular piece is the charity's decision on the day.
Approval and access
Someone who can approve the price has to be reachable at pickup time — by phone is fine. Beyond that, an open garage or a clear path to the pile is all the hauler needs.
The towns we cover
Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle and Kuna, across both Ada and Canyon counties, all on the same chart. Somewhere else in the valley? Ask; you'll get a straight yes or no.
Who does the hauling
This website is the booking desk. Treasure Valley Junk Removal hauls nothing itself. Each request is sent to one independent hauling outfit in the valley, which sets the price and takes the load away. The people who show up at your door work for that company, and the lifting, the hauling and the work are theirs. It's fair to want proof of insurance before anyone carries a gun safe down your stairs — want it of everyone who hauls for you.
About this site
What's written here describes how junk removal tends to go in the Treasure Valley and roughly what it costs. None of it is a quote. The number the hauler confirms on your driveway is the one that binds anybody.
