Case Study: Same-Day Junk Pickup Rescued a Melbourne Closing-Day Sale

When a real estate deal is hours from closing, clutter can become a deal-breaker. This case study shows how LH Junk Hauling & Dumpster Rentals, LLC delivered licensed, insured, white-glove junk removal to save a Melbourne, FL home sale on the very day of closing.

The Situation: A Final Walk-Through Surprise

At 7:30 a.m., a Melbourne realtor called our team in a panic. The buyers’ final walk-through revealed:

• A garage packed with old furniture and boxes
• Broken appliances on the side yard
• A dilapidated hot tub on the patio
• Construction debris from a last-minute repair
• Yard waste piled along the fence

The buyers threatened to walk unless the property was cleared before their 4 p.m. closing. The seller was already out of state, and the regular trash service couldn’t respond in time. The agent needed fast, respectful, and fully insured help—without drama.

Our Response: Mobilizing a Same-Day Solution

As a locally owned, licensed, and insured provider (with $2 million in liability coverage), we understand the stakes on closing day. Here’s how we moved:

• 7:45 a.m.: We provided a free, photo-based estimate within minutes and locked in same-day service.
• 8:15 a.m.: Dispatched a three-person crew, a 20-yard dumpster, and a junk truck for bulky items.
• 9:10 a.m.: On-site arrival. We walked the property with the agent via video call to confirm what stayed, what went, and to protect floors, walls, and doorways.
• Throughout: Clear communication, itemized pricing—no hidden fees.

The Work: Careful Removal, Fast Turnaround

Speed and care both mattered. Our white-glove process included:

• Protective measures: Floor runners, door jamb protectors, and careful routing to prevent scuffs.
• Efficient sorting: We separated donations, recyclables, and general debris to minimize landfill impacts where possible.
• Heavy lifting: Safely removed a non-working fridge, sectional sofa, shelving, and miscellaneous garage items.
• Light demolition: Drained and dismantled the hot tub; removed rotted decking boards and a damaged workbench.
• Curb-to-closure cleanup: Swept the garage and patio, bagged loose debris, and left the yard walk-through ready.

By 12:45 p.m., the 20-yard dumpster was loaded and hauled. The property was clean and photo-ready by early afternoon.

Results: Closing Saved and Stress Removed

• Timeline: Same-day response; 3.5 hours on site; cleared by 1:00 p.m. for a 4:00 p.m. closing
• Volume: Approximately 20 cubic yards of debris removed
• Peace of mind: Fully insured team; careful protection of the home; punctual, professional service
• Outcome: Buyers approved the walk-through; closing proceeded on time

Pro Tips for Realtors and Sellers on Tight Timelines

• Send photos early: Wide shots of each space help us quote accurately and mobilize quickly.
• Identify stay vs. go: Label items the seller wants to keep or that must remain with the home.
• Plan access: Reserve elevator/parking if needed and share gate codes in advance.
• Consider a dumpster: For bigger projects, having a 10–40 yard dumpster on site keeps renovations and cleanouts on schedule.
