Social media videos for Long Island junk removal and cleanout companies

Across a job

One cleanout, in content

Most junk removal jobs start and finish the same day, so one visit can carry a whole piece. We plan around the jobs on your board that week.

1. The walkthrough

   Your estimator or crew lead walking the space and explaining what goes, what stays, and how the price is figured, in your words.

2. Before

   The garage, basement, attic, or yard as it is, from a doorway or corner we mark and come back to.

3. The load-out

   The crew carrying, breaking down, and loading the truck, filmed as a time-lapse and in short clips.

4. Where it goes

   What gets donated, recycled, or hauled to a transfer station, told the way your company actually handles it.

5. Broom clean

   The empty room from the same marked spot, and the full truck pulling away.

The work

What we make for a junk removal company

Pieces where the space changes in front of the camera and the crew gets the credit.

• Before and after, from the same doorway

  The same frame at the start and the end of the job, so the only thing that changes is the room.

• The load-out time-lapse

  A full cleanout in thirty seconds: the crew, the dolly, and the truck filling up.

• Trucks, crews, and the yard

  Your trucks with your name on the doors, the crew at the start of the day, and the yard or shop where it all comes back.

• Shed, deck, and hot tub teardowns

  A shed or hot tub from standing to gone, filmed from the distance your crew lead sets.

• Where it all goes

  The donation run, the scrap metal, the electronics recycling, and the fridge that has to go to the right place, explained by your owner.

• Estate and downsizing cleanouts, done with care

  How your crew handles a family's home: what you set aside for the family, how you protect floors and stairs, and the empty rooms at the end. Never the belongings.

On site

How we film a cleanout

A cleanout can mean a hard week for the family. These are the terms we film it on.

A content month

What a month looks like

Examples of how each tier tends to fill for a junk removal company. The content calendar sets the real mix around your job board.

1. Partner

   $1,500 per month

   One content day riding along on two or three jobs, for example a garage cleanout and a shed teardown. Four to six finished pieces, such as a before and after Reel, a load-out time-lapse, a truck and crew piece, and a where-it-goes carousel, delivered within 5 business days.

2. Partner+

   $2,750 per month

   Two content days, often one on residential cleanouts and one on a teardown or a larger property. One long form video of 5 to 10 minutes, such as the owner walking through a full cleanout from estimate to broom clean, ten short form pieces, and three to four static or carousel posts. 3 business day turnaround.

3. Flagship

   $4,000 per month

   A weekly presence that follows several crews and trucks: 16+ finished pieces a month, event coverage included, such as a community cleanup or donation drive you run, and 48 hour turnaround.

Your side

What your company provides

We do the planning, filming, editing, and captions. These stay with you.

• Customers who have agreed to filming in writing, and on an estate job, the person with authority over the home.
• Your job board for the week, so we ride along on the jobs with the biggest change.
• Every license, permit, or registration number your company holds, and how you want your company name shown.
• An owner or crew lead willing to explain how you price, sort, and dispose of a load.
• Someone to post the finished pieces and answer the comments and messages they bring in.

Rules

Rules that shape junk removal content

State hauling rules, local licenses, teardowns in the county license rules, and where the hard items go.

• State rules for hauling, and the lettering on the truck

  The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says transporters of construction and demolition debris in shipments of greater than 10 cubic yards, or commercial waste in shipments of greater than 2,000 pounds, that pick up from or deliver to facilities in New York State require a Part 364 registration, and other regulated waste needs a Part 364 permit. Where a permit applies, DEC's general conditions call for the transporter's full name on both sides of each vehicle and the permit number on both sides and the rear, in characters at least three inches high. Which applies to your loads is a question for DEC; we film your trucks as they are lettered.

• Towns license haulers too

  Some towns license waste haulers themselves. The Town of Huntington, for one, says that under Town Code 117-2.A it is unlawful for any person or business to collect or transport solid or liquid waste in the town without first obtaining a license and permit. Other towns and villages set their own rules. Tell us every number you hold, and it goes on the pieces you want it on.

• Teardowns can be home improvement work

  Nassau County's home improvement definition names demolition, garages, and sheds, and its rules require display advertising to carry the license number and the full company name as printed on the license. Suffolk County Code section 563-16 does not list demolition by name, but covers any repair, alteration, or improvement to residential property. If you take down sheds, decks, or hot tubs, ask the county licensing office which license that work needs; we put the number you give us on every teardown piece.

• Fridges, air conditioners, and electronics

  The EPA says the final person in the disposal chain is responsible for ensuring that refrigerant is recovered from equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, and window air conditioners before final disposal. DEC tells New York consumers to recycle computers, computer peripherals, televisions, small scale servers, and small electronic equipment, and points to the state's disposal ban. A where-it-goes piece says what your company actually does with those items, in your words.

• Written consent from everyone on camera

  New York's Civil Rights Law section 50 makes it a misdemeanor to use a living person's name, portrait, picture, likeness, or voice for advertising or trade without their written consent, or a parent's or guardian's for a minor. That covers staff and customers alike, so a signed release comes before anyone appears in a piece.
