Disposal Tips
Because
labor charges are based on the length of time it takes to complete an equipment pickup, we offer the following suggestions that can save your department time and money. These suggestions are for items that have already been processed on a
Bargain Barn Service Request form.
Note: Labor charges are not assessed for items to be sold through the Bargain Barn, but only for those items scheduled for disposal.
- If possible, do not request a pick-up for only one item. Waiting to schedule a pick-up for multiple items will save overall labor charges.
- Do not add anything to the pick-up not already pre-approved by Bargain Barn without contacting the Bargain Barn in advance. All inventory items need to be cleared through Equipment Management prior to pick-up. If inventorial items are added (and not included on the list to pick-up) the Salvage Operations driver will have to come back at a later date once these items have been cleared through Equipment Management.
- Place items for pick-up in one area, or make them as easy as possible to get to. Because we charge for time spent, the easier it is to get to the faster the job can be done.
- Make sure access to the items is unrestricted on the day of the pick-up. A locked door or an out of service elevator will create additional time spent and possibly having to reschedule to complete the job (and we’ll be required to bill for the initial visit).
- Be as precise as possible when describing the items to be picked-up and do not add large pieces of equipment that would require two people to move without contacting the Bargain Barn in advance. Often, only one staff member is dispatched for an equipment pick-up. Two or more staff are generally only scheduled when it is known in advance that the specific job will require more than one person. If our driver arrives and the job is bigger than what has been represented, we will have to reschedule and will bill for the initial visit.
- Make sure items for pick-up are in the location stated on the original request.
