What types of insurance does a junk removal business need?

Junk removal companies face risks ranging from lifting injuries to property damage while hauling items. Core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Protects against client property damage, like scratching floors or walls during removal. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you employ staff; covers injuries such as back strains, falls, or cuts from debris. 
  • Equipment Coverage – Protects tools and hauling equipment from theft or damage in transit.
