Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about doorstep waste pickups, scrap pricing, weighing, and instant payouts in Bengaluru.
How does Junk It Out doorstep pickup work?
Simply select your location in Bengaluru, pick your waste categories (paper, plastic, metal, e-waste, furniture, etc.), add photos if available, and submit your booking. A verified agent arrives in 20–30 minutes or at your scheduled slot, weighs items on a digital scale, and calculates your instant net amount.
How are waste prices calculated? Are rates guaranteed?
Rates are calculated per-kilogram based on the official Junk It Out live database price list. Prices are transparently applied at doorstep weighing. You can check current live rates anytime on our Price List page.
How does doorstep weighing work?
Our agent brings a calibrated portable digital scale to your doorstep. Each waste category is weighed separately in front of you, and actual weights are logged directly into the agent app to compute the final receipt.
What is the difference between "We Pay You" and "Customer Pays"?
For high-value recyclable scrap like paper, plastic, metals, and e-waste (`JUNKITOUT_PAYS`), we pay you instant cash/UPI. For bulky non-recyclable debris or heavy furniture clearance (`CUSTOMER_PAYS`), a doorstep service fee applies.
How do customer payments work via Razorpay?
When an order requires a customer service charge (`CUSTOMER_PAYS`), payment is completed securely through the integrated Razorpay Standard Checkout popup using UPI, Debit/Credit Cards, or Netbanking.
When and how do I receive money for my recyclables?
Once doorstep weighing is complete for recyclable scrap (`JUNKITOUT_PAYS`), the agent verifies the total and your payout is transferred directly to your UPI ID or bank account immediately.
Can I cancel or reschedule my pickup?
Yes! You can cancel or modify your pickup free of charge before the agent arrives at your doorstep through the "My Pickups" section on our website.
