Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you guys Eco?
We specialize in the reuse and recycling of all the material that we haul.
The vast majority of what we haul does not go to the landfill. Through
strategic partnerships with for-profit reuse organizations, non-profit
reuse centers, donation centers, thrift stores, salvage yards, recycling
centers, and many others, we manage to divert more material from the landfill
than any other organization.
How does your service work?
You call 1-800-ECOHAUL or Book Online.. We book
you a time, we show up on time, we load up, we clean up. It's that simple.
How do your rates work?
You only pay for the portion of the truck that we fill up. Also, our
rates are pro-rated, which means the more you have, the cheaper it gets.
What kind of stuff do you take?
We take anything that two people can carry or demolish into sizes that
two people can carry.
Do you take paint or household toxics?
We do not haul hazardous materials of any kind. No household toxics, paint,
animal waste, etc.
How big is your truck?
It is 15 cubic yards.
Where do you guys take everything?
We have many outlets and partnerships that enable us to divert the highest
percentage of material from the landfill. Where we go specifically depends
on the location of the job and the nature of the material.
How do you guys compare to a dumpster?
First, we do all the loading. Second, we're more cost-effective. Third, we
sort and distribute materials for reuse and recycling where all mixed dumpster
loads go directly into the landfill. There are other reasons, too: we arrive
and complete the job within an hour or two. A dumpster is often dropped off
for a week, creating an eyesore in the neighborhood. Also, in many urban areas,
dumpster service is not available due to parking restraints.
Do you carry tools on your trucks?
Yes. Our trucks are equipped with handheld demolition equipment, such as
cordless reciprocal saws, cordless power drills, sledge hammers, demo hammers,
brooms, shovels, wheelbarrows, handtrucks, appliance dollies if necessary.
Can I donate something to you guys?
We donate for you, and we provide a tax deductible receipt for any items we donate. Simply notify your driver upon completion of your project that you'd like to receive a receipt.
This is a paid service? Why is that?
We have the capability of taking just about anything you could throw our way,
including mattresses, TVs, soil, etc., unlike organizations that remove material
for free. Also, the free organizations sell your stuff. We don't. Our careful
and efficient crews do all the loading and clean-up, as well, and there are
fees associated with disposal and recycling material.
I'd like to donate some items to you. How do I get you guys to come out?
All you have to do is ask. But let us explain our rate system to you...
Does EcoHaul have a yard where I can drop off (or pick up) something?
Nope.
What makes you guys different from other haulers?
We specialize in the relocation of material for reuse and recycling and as a result
divert far more material from the landfill than anyone else in the industry. Also,
we pay our employees much better.
Do you take pianos?
No.
