Cleanliness
The trucks themselves should not be rusted out husks of metal, even if they are hauling tons and tons of rubbish. If you can get a look of their vehicles online or elsewhere, you might have a decent idea of how well they care for their equipment, and thus how well they operate the business. It isn’t such a big leap to make.
In addition to vehicle maintenance, many respectable firms endeavor to clean up the workstation after the rubbish has been removed from the site. It’s good practice, and it adds to the professional service that clients pay for.
Insurance coverage
It nearly goes without saying that this one is a no-brainer. If everything goes as planned, this detail should always be conveniently inconspicuous, but employing an uninsured company is asking for trouble. Check to see if your rubbish removal firm is insured, and then get on with the huge job at hand, safe in the knowledge that you’re covered.
Policy on Recycling
Contrary to popular belief, once your garbage is gone, it does not simply vanish. Examine the recycling processes of the rubbish removal company you’re considering using. Many businesses are able to work with donation centers, scrappers, and recycling facilities to divert every recoverable item from the landfill. If not, your garbage problem has been passed down to the Earth.
Previous employment
Check to see if the company you’re considering has anything documented about previous jobs that are comparable to yours—case studies, before-and-after photos, blog entries, etc. That way, you’ll get an inside peek at the actual procedure they use for the project you’re working on.
Testimonials should also be published on the website or somewhere online, so you can receive the closest thing to a word-of-mouth recommendation. If none of the aforementioned things are present, you should be concerned.
Industry and social power
These final two things are frequently used as indicators in other industries, but they are as applicable here. Checking the company’s impact on social media platforms might give you an idea of how busy its pulse is. Inactive or expired social accounts for businesses can be more of a red flag than the lack of any presence at all.
Associations
Finally, look at the kind of alliances or groups to which the company belongs. If they are a member of the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List, Yellowpages, or the local Chamber of Commerce, it undoubtedly adds legitimacy to their name. However, don’t stop there. If these sites have accompanying scores, you can frequently see how they rank in the viewpoint of the respective community.
