Why Paying for Junk Removal Saves You Money on Truck Rentals

By Fred Siegel, Fred’s Junk Removal · Mission Valley 92108

Rental, gas, dump, time, and a helper who flakes is the DIY stack. A $69–$179 posted job is usually less than that stack for furniture. You also do not store a trailer in the apartment lot.

Rent a truck for material you will keep. Pay Fred’s for material that is leaving. That split is the save.
