1. Platform role
ScrapRunnerNYC provides listing and coordination technology. It does not inspect job sites, supervise work, provide safety training, certify equipment, or guarantee that a pickup is safe.
2. Before accepting a pickup
- Review the material, quantity, location, access, and photographs.
- Confirm you have the proper vehicle, tools, labor, licenses, and insurance.
- Ask about stairs, basements, loading docks, traffic, and known hazards.
- Do not accept work beyond your training or equipment capacity.
3. At the site
- Obtain permission before entering private property.
- Inspect the area before touching or moving material.
- Stop if actual conditions differ materially from the listing.
- Keep bystanders clear of loading and lifting areas.
- Do not enter unstable structures or restricted areas.
4. Protective equipment
Use protective equipment appropriate to the work, including gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, hard hats, steel-toe footwear, hearing protection, respiratory protection, or fall protection when needed.
5. Lifting, loading, and vehicles
- Do not exceed vehicle, trailer, rack, hoist, liftgate, or tie-down ratings.
- Use mechanical help for heavy or awkward loads.
- Secure loads against shifting, falling, or road debris.
- Follow traffic, parking, loading, and commercial vehicle rules.
6. Utilities and energized equipment
Do not cut, disconnect, dismantle, or remove wiring, pipes, tanks, HVAC systems, machinery, or utility equipment unless you are authorized and qualified to confirm that the system is safely de-energized, depressurized, drained, and disconnected.
7. Hazardous material
Do not handle leaking containers, unknown chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, radioactive material, explosives, energized equipment, or unstable loads.
8. Communication
- Provide realistic arrival times.
- Notify the posting user about delays.
- Use arrival and completion tools honestly.
- Release a job if you cannot safely or legally complete it.
9. Emergencies
Call 911 or the appropriate emergency service for immediate danger, injury, fire, gas release, suspected explosives, violence, or other emergencies. Do not rely on ScrapRunnerNYC support for emergency response.
10. User responsibility
Each user is responsible for their own conduct, workers, vehicles, tools, licensing, insurance, decisions, and legal compliance. ScrapRunnerNYC does not assume responsibility for job-site injuries, property damage, environmental harm, unlawful dumping, or unsafe handling.
