Why Is Indy Pickup 1111 Free?
Traditional junk removal companies charge you to haul items to a dump, then pay landfill fees on top of that. Our model works differently. We own our own salvage yard at 3013 Stanley Avenue. When we pick up your old washer, we are not hauling it to a dump. We are bringing raw material to our recycling facility. The 150 to 200 pounds of steel and copper inside has real market value. That is why we do not need to charge you.
