​
Are you an eco-friendly junk removal company?
Yes. We strive to recycle, reuse, or donate as much as possible. We have proudly supported the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Indianapolis for years. Metal and electronics are recycled, and all organic yard waste is taken to Green Cycle to be converted into mulch and compost.
​
How much junk can you haul in one trip?
Our high-capacity dump truck and trailer setup can haul 25–30 cubic yards per load. Our unique "space-saving trash smasher" allows us to compact furniture and brush piles on-site, saving you time and money by fitting more into a single trip.
​
Is Schott Services licensed and insured?
We are fully insured for all demolition, hauling, and landscape removal services. Because our specialized services (shed demo, fence removal, etc.) typically do not require local permits, we do not carry specific construction licensing, but we can refer you to the right partner if your project requires one.
​
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Zelle (preferred), Check, Venmo, and all major credit cards via Square. We believe in 100% customer satisfaction—we don’t accept payment until the job is completed and you are satisfied!
