Stop looking and just call. SSE made this process incredibly easy. I had some easy stuff that I piled in the garage plus some old heavy furniture that they carried up from the basement. Called on Monday afternoon and my junk was gone by noon on Tuesday. Transparent pricing, great communication, and speedy. I will use again.

The tornadoes earlier this year had blown my 400+ pound gazebo onto the roof of my house. I kept getting stood up by other hauling companies and someone on facebook referred me to SSE. Will the owner came out the next day and got it down and hauled it away. Left yard cleaner than it was before he came. All at a great price.
