Why Junk Removal Quotes Are Based on Item Lists
Vehicle capacity
Disposal category and handling rules
What Counts as “Adding More Bulky Items”?
Each of these affects:
Capacity-restricted
Height and weight regulated
Often pre-loaded with planned jobs
Require a larger vehicle
Additional movers
Longer job duration
A sofa removal may need 2 men
Tight staircases or no lift access → higher labour allocation
Manpower is scheduled in advance.When the scope changes, costs must reflect reality.
Access Constraints Matter More Than People Realise
Lift size restrictions
Stair-only access
MCST rules
Longer lift usage
Disposal Fees Are Item-Specific
Treated wood
Glass
Mixed materials
Adding items like:
…can significantly alter disposal costs due to handling and recycling requirements.
Last-Minute Additions Create Operational Risks
Adding items on the day of removal may:
Disrupt the job schedule
Delay other clients
Cause manpower overrun
Trigger overtime
Result in missed disposal slots
In Singapore, missing disposal deadlines can incur penalties, rescheduling costs, or wasted trips.
That’s why last-minute changes are often priced higher.
Why “Just One More Item” Isn’t Just One More
