This also happens when a business is undergoing a merger or acquisition. Equipment, paperwork and fixtures may get consolidated.
11. Cardboard & Box Removal.
If your business receives shipments you’re probably dealing with a ton of cardboard, boxes, plastic wrap and Styrofoam. This packing material takes up space in the shop and is hard to recycle. A junk removal service can help take it away.

14. Document Disposal & Removal.
Over time, businesses accumulate a lot of old documents, files, and other paperwork. They may need a junk removal service to take it away. Sensitive documents will need to be shredded by a document shredding company.
15. Pallet Removal.
Businesses who have a loading dock and receive lots of shipments may need a junk removal service to help dispose of pallets and shipping crates. Pallets are heavy and bulky so they clutter a loading dock quickly.
16. Shop Waste.
Many home services businesses replace, remove and then temporarily store old fixtures, broken equipment and waste materials. A junk removal provider can help haul this stuff away to keep the warehouse tidy.
16. Old Merchandise and Spoiled Product Removal.
Small retail stores, warehouses and food product businesses may have to manage old inventory & expired product. Junk removal professionals can efficiently and properly dispose of this product.
17. Hazardous Material.
Many small businesses generate waste products that can’t be thrown away. Things like old paint cans, tires, batteries, light bulbs, aerosol cans, or chemicals. A professional junk removal company can remove hazardous material safely.
18. E- Waste Removal.
When computers, monitors, printers and phones break down or become outdated, they need to be disposed of properly. Electronic waste contains harmful chemicals, such as lead and mercury, which can be harmful to the environment. Junk removal pros can safely dispose of electronics.
19. Dumpster and Trash Enclosure Cleanout.
If you’re in a business park or shopping center, you may be responsible for cleaning up dumpster overflow and trash enclosures. These are problem areas for many businesses. Overflowing dumpsters trigger penalties from the waste haulers. A junk removal service can help on- demand.
20. Storage Cleanout.
Many businesses have cluttered storage areas. Outdated and unaccounted for equipment, documents, electronics and product. These spaces are easy to ignore until they become a problem. You may call a junk removal service to help sort through and remove items from your storage areas.
Bonus: Scrap Metal Removal
Many businesses, like HVAC companies and plumbers regularly accumulate scrap metal. Metal can be recycled and scrap yards pay a small fee to “buy your metal.” It takes a lot of time and effort to make money off scrap metal. So, small businesses may need to consider time, effort and opportunity costs when making a decision about how to best recycle their metal waste. Junk removal companies will collect scrap metal for a fee (be wary though… not all of them will actually recycle it). Scrappers may not charge a fee for removal but may have more limited work scope and time availability.
