Equipment
A pickup truck and a 12 to 16 foot dump trailer cover most household jobs. Straps, a dolly, gloves and a tarp come next.
For haulers
Starting a junk removal business?
The basics are a truck, somewhere to dump, and a steady way to find jobs.
What you need to start hauling junk and debris: equipment, dump fees, pricing, insurance and finding your first jobs.
DebrisDash connects people with independent haulers. It is not a hauling company.
IllustrationHow coverage works
Post a request anywhere. Haulers on DebrisDash nearby can see it.
DebrisDash does not launch city by city. It works wherever independent local haulers are using the app, and anyone can post a request anywhere. Whether a hauler responds, and how fast, depends on who is nearby, and availability grows as more local haulers join. We cannot promise a response in any specific area.

Questions
Useful answers,
without the runaround.
What does DebrisDash take?
Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) and a 15% DebrisDash fee come out of the posted price. A $100 pickup pays about $82.28 before your fuel and dump fees.
When do I get paid?
The payment is released to your Stripe account when the poster confirms, or 24 hours after you finish if there is no dispute. Stripe then pays your bank on its schedule.
