Better requests before dispatch
A message saying “old furniture” hides volume, weight, stairs, and parking. Structured answers give estimators useful context.
Categories, quantities, volume, and notes distinguish single items from multi-room cleanouts.
Photos show the pile, bulky items, and access route before on-site verification.
Conditional questions flag weight, disassembly, stairs, parking, and special materials.
Requests for every job size
Conditional paths keep curbside pickups short while revealing more questions for complex jobs.
Collect item type, quantity, photos, address, and time window.
Ask about floors, elevators, doorways, disassembly, and site contacts.
Keep room scope, instructions, walkthrough dates, and the decision-maker together.
Capture site contacts, access hours, loading areas, quantities, and deadlines.
Setup workflow
Make details that change labor, truck space, or access easy to provide.
Specify job types, service areas, material categories, and scheduling details.
Reveal appliance, stair, or commercial-access questions only when relevant.
Route quotes to estimating and booking-ready submissions to dispatch.
Track dates, locations, load types, and open follow-ups together.
Form vs phone tag
The form focuses follow-up conversations by collecting predictable details first.
Field guide
Keep simple jobs quick, then reveal more detail when answers indicate extra planning.
Customer
Collect the requester and, when different, the person meeting the crew. A phone number helps resolve gate or location questions.
Items
Use categories for sorting and an open description for unusual contents. Pair quantity and volume with clear photos.
Photos
Ask for a wide pile shot and close views of large items. Access photos clarify written notes.
Location
Placement questions distinguish curb, garage, backyard, apartment, and loading-dock pickups.
Handling
Let customers flag heavy, sharp, leaking, pressurized, refrigerated, or unusual items for policy review.
Timing
Ask for two choices, arrival windows, deadline context, and quote status.

Practical answers for junk removal owners, estimators, dispatchers, and customers requesting a pickup.
It is an online intake for a quote, walkthrough, or pickup. It records the customer, location, items, access, and availability before your company confirms scope, price, and schedule.
Include contact details, address, item categories, quantities, volume, photos, placement, access, parking, unusual items, and two time windows. Ask whether the customer wants a quote, walkthrough, or booking.
Yes. Add uploads for pile overviews, bulky-item closeups, and access routes. Photos provide starting context while your business can verify the load and conditions.
Yes. Let customers choose quote, walkthrough, or ready to schedule. Conditional logic can show estimate questions or preferred arrival windows, then route each result appropriately.
List categories requiring review under your policy. Ask for quantity, condition, photos, and labels. Treat the submission as a request, not automatic acceptance.
Yes. Branch residential requests to rooms, stairs, curb placement, and move-out timing. Ask commercial customers about contacts, access hours, loading areas, quantities, and deadlines.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and keep collecting requests without a response cap. The paid tier is for removing the Makeform badge, not unlocking additional submissions.
Submissions appear in your Makeform inbox. Send details to Google Sheets, notify an estimator in Slack, or connect tools through Zapier so dispatch shares the same intake record.
Replace vague pickup messages with complete requests.
