AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I only gave this a one star because I couldn't give it a zero!!! Avoid this company at all costs! I had a terrible experience with them. Mike the owner came out and initially quoted a price of $400-$600 for the job and when they arrived they raised the price of the job to $1,000, which I was not happy about but agreed to. They only had room for some of my items since they came with the truck already half full and they said I would have call and schedule another pickup for the rest of the items. After they finished loading the items on the first day, they demanded that the job be paid in full for both pickups before they left. After I paid the $1,000 and scheduled a second pickup, different workers came and insisted on an additional $650 after all the items were already loaded onto the truck. When I refused to pay more since this was the third time they were now trying to change the price, they dumped everything in my driveway. They have a shady practice of loading trucks loosely, sending different workers, and trying to extract more money, even after you've paid in full. Beware! read more

1-844 Junk-Rat - Junk Removal & Hauling Near Me - Union, New Jersey

In the middle of the process as I type. So far so good. Very professional. Did give us a weird reaction to the flammable stuff. But I get it, it makes sense. He was just a little abrasive. Overall they took what fit. Left what didn't. Was careful not to touch my car in the basement. Secured my garage doors. After the left, they explained how it works and how they do things, Steve & Junior I believe. Very good men. Did the job (which was pretty big and GROSS) very quickly even with small conversations inbetween. Definitely recommend and will definitely use again. read more

Junk Rats...Do not use this company!!! Mike and Bruno came to my house. I told mike all this junk needs to go how much. He gave me a price. He never said only what we can fit into one truck load. They filled a truck load and said if I wanted to get the rest cleaned I had to call and make another appointment. They also left a big mess and didn't bother cleaning up. Do not use this company. When I called the office all they told me is sorry and that's how we do business.. so I tell you I need this all removed you give me a price and then leave and tell me to call and pay for another truck and leave a huge mess behind!! Horrible business practice and ethics.... They don't care about their customers they just want your money. And turns out Mike is the owners son!! Seriously!! Do not use this company. read more

1-844-JUNK-RAT just finished hauling a couch and love seat from my home and I must say, this company is phenomenal! First of all, when I did the scheduling with Nyjal, he had a fantastic attitude and a great personality. He also let me negotiate until we found a price we both agreed on. Nick and Santos were the men who removed my couches and they were both so nice and helpful! What lovely people who work for this company! I highly recommend them if you need something removed from your home. read more

Thank you JUNK RATS! From the moment I talked to Dina to arrange pick up she was so professional and polite. I had a window for pickup from 4-6 and Danilo called and was polite and professional and thank you Justin, both gentleman were a great team and fast about putting the Junk in that truck. I forgot to mention I was desperate because I had another company whom I won't mention and never showed up or called. So I had a neighbor mention JUNK RATS. Dina made it really easy for me and understood. Thank you will be definitely be using this company again. Paula Robinson read more

I called junk rats for an estimate on removing a hot tub they gave me a quote over the phone I said it up they came out the day they were supposed to exactly at the time that was scheduled and completed the job in and out in an hour they were amazing I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs junk removed or whatever they're just fantastic people and very very honest and reasonable read more

I called them and they were pleasant and very responsive. They showed up within 90 minutes. The issue was they wanted 459 to haul away what I had. Most of the trash was at the curb other than a mini refrigerator and a treadmill. Joe Junk hauled away everything at the curb. They did not have to take the treadmill. Joe junk charged under 200 including tax. Too expensive. read more

This is really unprofessional company. They said they'd get a job done, both on the phone and then again when walking through the space, but didn't, causing a lot of issues. They then said that they would come back the next morning to finish, that was also not true. The customer service rep tried giving me legal/real estate advice rather than fixing the problem they caused. They screwed us and will screw you too. read more

I recently used Junk Rat on two occasions that yielded four full truck loads. On each visit the crew of two men were prompt, courteous, professional and ready to work. They removed every single item that I asked them to remove. During the removals they explained in detail the pricing so that I knew whether to continue with the process. On the second job they removed everything from an entire house. Again, they were prompt, courteous and eager to work. The two young men worked hard, efficiently and steady on some very hot days. They were very discrete in this case where there was a hoard of items. They asked if it was okay to remove this item or that particular item. Each day they cleaned up the areas that were clear of junk. I was extremely impressed with their work ethic and customer care. Steven was extremely helpful and reassuring throughout the entire process which can be overwhelming. All of the men were extremely capable, professional and courteous. Junk Rat's pricing is fair and affordable for the amount of labor that is expended in a job. I would and have recommended Junk Rat to many people and posted pictures online of the fabulous job that they did. If I ever need their services again I will not hesitate to call their office where everyone I spoke to was polite, helpful and professional. They made what started out as a harrowing mission into a much easier and less complicated experience. We even managed a few laughs along the way! Thank you Junk Rat and your entire staff. read more

****BEWARE****** this company told me that they would ethically dispose of everything they were taking away for me, which included many furniture items in perfect condition that I thought were going to charity! Instead they took everything to the dump!!!!! read more

I had a few pallets of excess food production materials that I needed disposed. And Junk Rat helped us out. Was very happy to find them. So, Junk Rat is not only for residential junk removal. Their trucks are dock height and if you ask, they may be able to help you with your business dump removal at a fraction of the cost you might pay by hiring a carrier to pick it up and then take it to the dump and pay disposal fees. Junk Rats' rate is all inclusive, which is nice because you don't have to worry about charges after the fact. The dump fee is included and the transport is included. read more

Would never call them again!! Postponed us twice, then didn't show up when they said they would. Missed their one call, and when I called back a few minutes later they said they had driven by the house and no one was there which was a blatant lie! I had been there the whole time. Needing to finish before a final move-out deadline, they put me in a real bind late of a Saturday afternoon. read more

Very professional service. Everyone from the employees who do the junk removal pickup to the owner have been stand up people. It is easy to schedule a time with them and they give a solid 2 hour window for the appointment. Highly recommended. read more

The Junk-Rat team saved me this week. The awful Bagster people screwed me with bogus claims. Junk-Rat to the rescue! The team arrived in the promised timeframe and did an awesome job. Everything was gone and for the quoted price. Everything was perfect for the open house. Thank you so much!!!! read more

Quoted us one price on phone and then showed up at appointed time and started to tell us is would be twice as much. This was a fairly simple job. Not a lot of surprises for them. We did NOT allow them to do job. Waste of time and unscruptulous. Would NOT recommend. Ended up getting someone to do job at fraction of what they did. read more
