💡 Tips for Large Item Removal
- Measure doorways before buying replacement furniture — getting the old piece out can be half the battle
- Disconnect appliances (gas, water, electric) before pickup day
- Remove all personal items from furniture drawers and shelves
- If the item is in an upstairs room, clear the path to the door
- For refrigerators and freezers, defrost 24 hours before pickup to avoid leaking
