What a junk removal service agreement is for
Property managers, retailers and contractors need junk hauled regularly: tenant move-outs, old fixtures, job site debris. An agreement with set rates and priority scheduling saves them a quote every time and fills your calendar. It should define volume pricing and what counts as hazardous. Set a response time you can really keep in a busy month.
What to put on a junk removal service agreement
- Pickup schedule or on-call service.
- Volume pricing and item fees.
- Priority response time.
- Excluded materials.
- Billing, term and cancellation.
A worked example
A property manager with forty units wants turnover cleanouts on call and a monthly pickup from the shared dumpster area.
| Line | Qty | Unit | Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly common area pickup, half truck * | 12 | each | $300.00 | $3,600.00 |
| Unit turnover cleanout, on call | 1 | each | Your price |
Set the turnover rate by volume in the terms. This is a template, not legal advice, so check your state's rules on service agreements.
