Short answer: You tell a buyer what you have and where it is, they confirm a price and a time, send a vehicle, weigh the load and pay you, and same-day pickup is most realistic for larger loads near a buyer's route, for material that is already sorted and accessible, and when you contact the buyer early in the day.

List Free →The usual sequence
Quote, confirm the time, arrival, weighing and payment make up a normal pickup, and each step can happen in a few hours when everything is ready.
What makes same-day realistic
Early contact, clear access, sorted material and a decent weight all help a buyer fit you into the day.
What can prevent it
Small loads, awkward access or a buyer fully booked may mean next day, so ask whether same-day is possible when you make contact.
