When hiring us makes more sense than the town pickup

It's not March or September and you have several items (the $30-per-item fee adds up)
You need mattresses, electronics or appliances gone; the free months exclude them
Items are inside, downstairs or in the garage, not at the curb
You want everything gone in one trip on a day you choose
