Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.

Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
