@Mmsfoxxiemy heart goes out to you ❤️ I am going through this exact thing. My Dad was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors last Thursday. He is in the hospital now. We are going through looking for Hospice Homes right at this moment. He has a 3 bedroom 2 bath home. FILLED with what he called his TREASURES. JUST PURE JUNK. HE WAS GOING TO THE LOCAL Swap Meet 2 times a week. There is barely walking room in his home. Also a 2 Car Garage. He is 92 and will not be going home. The doctor gives him 2-4 weeks. Very sad. Up until last Thursday he was fine. A very productive man.

My heart breaks for your Dad, you and your family!Heart

I used a local company, but I was moving out of a 1-bedroom apartment and it was pretty easy to get an estimate for that.

 

If one company won't give you an estimate, call another. I am lucky enough to live in a city large enough to have quite a few different companies to choose. I hope you have at least one other to choose from.

Hahahahaha.  And who’s gonna fill that dumpster, @Leelee1123?  Not me, lol.  It’s amazing that I have three sons and none live in my area of the country.


 

@Mmsfoxxie 

 

Another thought, are there any colleges in your Dad's area?

 

Hungry college students are good workers and always looking for extra income!

 

They'll let you post a notice on the bulletin boards at the school, we have before.

Wow!  @Trinity11, it sounds like, as you and someone else said....they’ve gone up a lot.  Unless it was a humongous bedroom full of furniture and a chair, $400 was too much.

Re: Anybody here ever use 1-800-Got-Junk?

@Mmsfoxxie: My family has used them three times - twice last year, once this year and have had good experiences.  My daughter and her family live next door and they first used them for clean up after construction and I don’t what the charge was but I think it was around $100/hr. That was for two men, a box truck and open trailer.  We live rural so we have to pay fees at the county dump.

This last time I used them to clear out storage units and it was large, heavy appliances (refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers just to name a few).  This was an impossibility for me to have handled alone and I don’t know how they handled it but were prompt and efficient. The only thing they weren’t allowed to take were tires and some type of cpu.

I keep their number close by and won’t hesitant to use them again. Sorry I can’t provide more info on price but I feel they were very reasonable for all the work they did.  I do remember my SIL telling me you can save by dragging everything outside and not having to come in.

Hope this helps. You’ll feel better once it’s done, I promise. Good luck to you and yours.
