Question 1

Will Manatee County pick up a mattress with regular trash?

Accepted Answer

Not with weekly collection. Mattresses are a bulk item that has to be scheduled separately or dropped at Lena Road Landfill. Most people find it easier to have us take it with everything else in one trip.

Question 2

My sectional won't fit through the door — can you break it down?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We disassemble sectionals, bed frames, and oversized pieces on site when they won't clear a doorway or stairwell. That's included in the flat rate.

Question 3

Do you donate usable furniture?

Accepted Answer

Whenever it's in donatable shape, yes — we route it to Habitat ReStore, Goodwill, or the Salvation Army here in Manatee County. Stained or bed-bug-affected mattresses have to be disposed of, not donated.

Question 4

Can you remove furniture from a gated Lakewood Ranch community?

Accepted Answer

We work in Country Club East, Polo Run, Lakewood National, Esplanade, and Del Webb regularly. Just add us to your gate list and we handle the rest, including HOA rules about driveway staging.

Question 5

Do you charge extra for stairs or a third-floor condo?

Accepted Answer

One flight is included. For third floor and above without an elevator, we'll quote a small labor add-on upfront — you'll know it before we arrive.

Question 6

How fast can you get here?

Accepted Answer

Same-day is often available in Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch if you call before noon. Same-day dispatch carries a $75 surcharge; next-day is standard rate.

Question 19

How does your pricing work — by the hour or flat rate?

Accepted Answer

We are 100% flat-rate based on the volume your items take up in our 15-cubic-yard truck. You get a written quote before any work starts, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
