A debris box is another term for a dumpster, typically designed in advance to handle large quantities of loose material.

We charge by volume and the cost depends on how much room the items take up. While we greatly appreciate items being in the driveway ready to load up, it is not necessary. It is easier to estimate the volume if the items are all in one area, but we will grab items from wherever they are, whether it is in the house or in the backyard.

We always provide an estimate before we do any work. Only after the job is done and we have cleaned up will we collect payment.

We work diligently to protect the environment by diverting as much of the material we come across from going to landfills. We do this in a few ways.

The primary way we do this is by using transfer stations instead of going to landfills. At transfer stations they sort out the debris into the basic raw materials such as wood, metal, plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, etc. A large percentage of the material that comes into these facilities are recycled out, so very little makes it to the landfill.

We also utilize numerous resources around the Bay Area to get various items directly reused or repurposed. It’s far greener to reuse or repurpose an item than it is to break it down and scrap out the raw materials to be melted down, shredded, or ground up to be processed into another product. We have worked on cultivating relationships with organizations who donate items to those in need, the homeless, and domestic abuse services, etc.

Green Hauling has been in business since 2006, and in those years we have worked hard to find new and better resources to recycle or reuse the material we come across.

There is no extra charge for sorting out and recycling material like some other services. We aim to reuse or recycle as much as possible as a baseline.

We do our best to recycle furniture and appliances but unfortunately due to the high amount of furniture and appliances being donated as people buy newer products, it is becoming harder and harder for commercial companies to donate these materials. However, the raw materials can still be reused even if the unit itself is not able to be salvaged.
