Our Process

How we handle every unit.

This isn't your standard junk removal job. Everything happens simultaneously — methodical, careful, safety-first.

Initial Assessment

We survey the unit and identify the level of risk — fire hazards, pest conditions, biohazard exposure. You get a scope and quote.

Layer-by-Layer Clearing

We work through the unit one layer at a time. Every shovel load is assessed for sharps, pests, and hazards before anything moves. Slow, careful, intentional.

Continuous Risk Assessment

We're assessing risk the entire time. We know when conditions become unsafe, and we're equipped to handle it. Certified for biohazard remediation.

Full Unit Cleared

Everything removed. The unit is prepped for professional cleaners, pest control, and rehabilitation crews to move in.

Ready for Rehabilitation

Unit cleared and ready for the next step — whether that's professional cleaning, pest treatment, or repair crews.

The Honest Comparison

Managing yourself vs. hiring 220-JUNK.

Managing Yourself

The risky way

Sharps, pests, and contamination in every layer A single shovel load can contain dozens of sharps, cockroaches, and rodent droppings. Untrained staff face serious health risks.

Fire and pest hazards put the whole building at risk Junk piled to the ceiling and obstructed hallways are the top reasons SRO units get flagged. Delays put other tenants in danger.

No training for what's actually inside Staff exposed to traumatic conditions without certification, protocols, or proper protective equipment.

Delayed turnarounds = lost revenue Every day a unit sits empty costs you money.

Insurance gaps for contaminated units Standard policies may not cover biohazard incidents.

Hiring 220-JUNK

The smart way

We know what we're walking into This isn't standard junk removal. Our crew is trained for exactly these conditions and equipped to handle them safely.

We had a unit that was completely packed — couldn't even open the door. The 220-JUNK crew came in, worked through it layer by layer, handled everything safely. Unit was cleared and ready for rehab the same day. Professional from start to finish.
