Rubbish Removal
Any recommendations for someone to haul away old carpet and some minor renovation debris (built in shelves that were removed). Maybe a van load max. We used to use a guy named Rafael who was fantastic but I've lost his contact info.

I just used J.A.G. Rubbish Removal on Sunday and they were outstanding. I ripped out two walls of floor to ceiling mirrors and he took them all away for $100. wouldn't even let me help him load the truck. (718) 621-9099

Hi, don't fill up a landfill with more old carpeting! recycle it! carpetcycle.com is terrific. We recycled over 3,000 square feet of old carpeting and the same amount of padding when we bought our old house last year through carpetcycle. Here's a little more from the carpetcycle website: Carpet is a petroleum-based product. It is estimated that carpet recycling programs can save more than 700,000 barrels of oil per year, conserving 4.4 trillion BTUs of energy. Energy savings translate into reduced pollutants as well, minimizing air and greenhouse gas emissions. CarpetCycle's objective is to provide economic and sustainable solutions to post consumer carpet generators.

I used a company called http://www.jumbobag.com.au for my rubbish removal. My brother started the company as a bin hire firm in Melbourne but now expanded into NY. Obviously I got a cheap deal being family but they are cheaper because they use a heavy duty disposable bag rather than a skip or bin

I called this company and the phone was answered very politely by a young man. I have never had waste removed before so I asked many questions and all were answered to my satisfaction. I scheduled an appointment for Tuesday at 3:00pm. About 1/2 hour before I was contacted by the driver who informed me he was on his way and would be at my house in 20-30 minutes. As promised the truck arrived with two men at the scheduled time and both introduced themselves to me.
I explained the work that needed to be done and a price was given for the work and I agreed as I felt it was very reasonable. The work was done promptly and they took great care not to damage anything in the house. The floor was swept clean and some other things were taken away that were not in the original quote which I was not charged for.
I would like to thank Anton and Alex for a great job and that they really did deserve the tip for such a job well done.
The name of the company is MSA Quality, Inc. You can find them on the internet: http://MSAQuality.com
