No deposit and no online payment are required to book. You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck, with no hidden fees. Same-day and next-day pickups are available in most areas, and the crew works Monday through Sunday from 7am to 7pm.
- You point the crew at what goes and set aside anything being kept.

What Seattle 98198's housing stock means for your pickup
This ZIP holds about 15,267 housing units with a resident population of roughly 39,815. With about 51 percent of homes being single-family detached, many jobs here still have a straightforward driveway path. The other half of the stock, though, is denser, and that changes how a removal gets staged.
About 46 percent of occupied homes are rented, which often means coordinating with a property manager or navigating a shared building entrance. The median year the housing was built is 1975, and about 59 percent of homes predate 1980, so older layouts with narrow stairs are common.
The crew is ready for those constraints and protects the building while working.
Only about 8 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, so most structures here are not new-construction builds with wide hallways. The cold months push work indoors, and the outdoor pile usually clears in one visit once it breaks.
How 98198 compares with other US ZIP codes
This area's mix of single-family and multi-unit housing sets it apart from places like Pittsboro, IN 46167, where about 100 percent of homes are single-family detached and only about 3 percent are rented. In 98198, the rental share near 46 percent means more pickups happen in buildings with shared access.
That shifts the work toward stairwells and elevators rather than open driveways.
Compared with Medford, OK 73759, where about 72 percent of homes were built before 1980, this ZIP's pre-1980 share of about 59 percent is similar. The difference shows up in building type: about 87 percent of Medford's homes are single-family, versus about 51 percent here.
Bullhead City, AZ 86442 sits closer on tenure, with about 32 percent rented, but its density is lower, with about 47 percent single-family detached.
The same volume-based pricing applies regardless of the building type. You pay for the space your load takes up in the truck, so a third-floor walk-up in a dense building costs the same per cubic foot as a suburban garage.
Where your junk goes after it leaves 98198
Every load is sorted before anything leaves the truck. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, while metal, electronics and green waste are routed for recycling. What remains is disposed of, with the crew making sure each category goes to the right place.
Hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents and asbestos, are not taken. Ask before the visit if you are unsure about an item. The sorting process means a single load can have three different destinations, and the crew handles that split as part of the job.
