🚫 Access & Entry Policy

Junk Geek operates curbside-first, but we may access garages, carports, or open exterior spaces that are safe and easy to reach. We do not enter homes, tight indoor spaces, or areas requiring stairs, navigation around personal items, or specialized access.

⚠️ Safety & Property Protection

We reserve the right to decline or reschedule service if your property conditions present a safety risk — including aggressive pets, unsecured items, flooding, or unstable ground. Any delays due to unsafe or blocked access may result in a failed transaction fee.

Junk Geek is not responsible for incidental property damage during normal operation (e.g. scraping curbs, driveways, fences during haul-out). Ensure a clear path is provided.

📸 Disclosure of Unsafe Junk Items

If items are infested, contain mold, broken glass, sharp metal, human/animal waste, or other biohazards, they must be disclosed in advance via notes or photos. Junk Geek reserves the right to refuse service on dangerous items, even if pre-scheduled.

🔁 Reuse, Resale, and Sustainability

Junk Geek strives to minimize landfill impact. Items may be repurposed, rethrifted, donated, or resold at our discretion.

💼 No credit or discount will be issued based on your junk’s resale value or potential. Once discarded, ownership is transferred to Junk Geek, LLC. ℠ This protects us legally and supports sustainable operations.
