Priced from the photos, before you drive
Junk removal runs in most weather, so the flagship here is the request, not the forecast. The form on your website takes photos and the address; one click turns it into a customer, a site, and a draft quote you price from the pictures. When you do need a rule (a demo day in a downpour), it's there.
- Request form with photo uploads and the pickup address
- One click from request to customer, site, and draft quote
- Load-size packages the customer picks from their phone
- Optional rain rule for demo and outdoor cleanout days
Quote it before you leave the site
Price by the load from your price book: quarter, half, and full truck as three packages on one quote, with mattresses, appliances, and stairs as add-on lines. The customer sends photos through your request form, you quote from them, and they approve from their phone.
Get paid without chasing
Invoice on the curb when the truck is loaded: one click, a card or bank pay link, and most customers pay before you pull away. Bigger cleanouts take a deposit at approval. Overdue reminders go out automatically for the rest.
Keep every customer for the re-do
The garage cleanout leads to the estate cleanout and the property manager's next turnover. Every customer and site keeps its history, and a review request goes out when the invoice is paid, which is how a hauling business fills next week.
Give every customer a portal
One private link per customer: messages with photos, documents you request, a heads-up on any contract waiting for their e-signature, and invoices they pay. No app, no password, free.

FAQ
Junk removal questions, answered straight.
Is it really free for junk removal crews?
Yes. Unlimited customers, quotes, scheduling, and invoices, free forever, not a trial. No monthly plan, no seat fees, and no credit card to start.
Can customers send photos of the pile?
Yes. The request form on your website takes photos and the pickup address, and one click turns the request into a customer, a site, and a draft quote you price from the pictures.
How do I price by the load?
Keep quarter, half, and full truck as flat items and put them on one quote as three packages, with add-ons as their own lines. The customer picks and approves from their phone.
Can I take payment on site?
Yes. Invoice in one click and the customer pays by card or bank from the link. Cash and checks get recorded against the job so the balance stays true.
Do reviews go out automatically?
Yes. Turn the switch on, add your review link, and a request goes out once an invoice is paid in full.
What's the catch for a hauling business?
No catch. The software costs us almost nothing per crew to run, so it is free. Online card and ACH payments carry processing costs, as they would with any provider.
