When starting a property management company, forming business relationships with certain service providers proves essential to long-term success. A cleaner that specialize in move-outs, a landscaping company that provides yard cleanups, and various tradespeople – such as plumbers, electricians and handymen – help keep your client properties properly maintained. One service provider often overlooked until needed is the rubbish removal company. Having one on speed dial allows you to quickly and easily dispose of any items – both large and small – a former tenant left behind.

Not all junk removal companies are created equally, though. There are a handful of qualities to look for when shopping for this particular service provider:

No-Obligation Quotes – Your job as a property manager is to help maintain client properties as inexpensively as possible. Using a rubbish removal company that offers no-obligation quotes allows you to turn down its services if they prove too expensive for your client.

Long Will-Take List – Junk removal companies provide a list of items they will and will not take. The longer the list, the more likely you are to get rid of everything all at once. Look for, at a minimum, the following items on the will-take list of any company you consider: air conditioners, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, drying cabinets, freezers, refrigerators, stoves, water heaters, trash compactors, microwaves, mattresses, furniture, carpet, TVs, computer equipment, yard waste and any size tire a two-person team can lift. Don’t discount a company that will not take hazardous materials, as none of the rubbish removal Worcester MA companies, or companies anywhere within the state, are licensed to take them. You will have to dispose of these materials yourself at the appropriate location for your particular area.

Cleanup – Certain junk removal companies also offer cleanup of the site after pickup of items. While you will hire a cleaner for the property before showing it to prospective tenants, this extra element of customer service helps you discern which companies will be best for long-term business relationships.

Recycling – Telling your clients that the rubbish removal company you employ on their behalf takes recycling seriously serves as a selling point for both the company and your property management services. When considering junk removal companies, inquire about their recycling efforts so you may pass along the info to your clients.

If you find several companies with these important qualities, talk with each to see if one or more might offer more-competitive pricing for a certain number of pickups per year. If you are just forming your property management company, odds are you do not have enough clients for this to be an option, but its possibility can certainly serve as a long-term goal and allow you to form an exclusive and long-term business relationship with one company.
