Great service, very responsive. I contacted PJ via instant messaging and we discussed price and a pick-up time and date. Easily came to an agreement to remove a partially in-ground spa. I sent him some photos and measurements. He assured me it would be no problem. He was right on! They showed up on time and had the spa cut up and outta there in less than 1hour. Took a bunch of other random trash too. Would definitely recommend PJ and Coast Junk. 7/2020- I called Coast Junk on Friday and They were able to come out Saturday and get take everything I needed removed. Augustin was on time, wearing the Coast Junk "uniform", and was conscientious about social distancing and wore his mask. Professional all the way, read more

Outstanding service! We had the good fortune to find Coast Junk on Yelp while looking for help moving 20 years of storage from an attic space down to the garage on short notice. Unlike all the other services I called requesting a message for a call-back, Phil answered the phone first ring, on a Saturday! His enthusiasm and can do attitude was second to none! He was booked that day but offered to come on Sunday to help us out. He and Gilbert called an hour in advance, as promised, and arrived exactly on time. They worked as a team, got the job done professionally and expediently and were great to work with. I would not hesitate to contact Phil in the future and would highly recommend Coast Junk to others. read more

I have nothing bad to say about these guys. They came on time and got things done quick. Plain and simple, what more can you ask for?? I would definitely used them again! read more

Coast Junk - Junk Removal & Hauling Near Me - Salinas, California

In my opinion it just comes across as a bitter Ex and might be better to say something more like this!!! Not Bitter. Just want no ties or connection to someone as shady as you are. But not bitter. I'm just done being nice. PERIOD. For any of you using Coast Junk I want to make sure it is clear that he does NOT have permission to use my address in Prunedale which is listed as his business address. He lost that right when he walked out 9 months ago and left me with piles and piles of his junk to clean up along with unpaid bills he left me to pay. I do not want any association with the owner PJ Hickenbottom or his shady business deals. I've requested the address be changed to where he actually lives in Twain Harte which is where he is taking advantage of his next victim that fell for his made up stories. read more

Phil and his team are amazing! They removed my hot tub. When they took the lid off I was embarrassed because I didn't know the tub had filled back up with the rain. Didn't bother them at all, they happily drained it. They even cleaned the mess! Very pleasant experience. I will be calling them again for sure! read more

My elderly father needed some stuff removed from his garage and backyard. I don't live in the same town so I called Coast Junk to see if they can have someone go out and give him an estimate. I spoke to Phil, who is also the owner. Not only did he go out to give my dad an estimate, himself, but he loaded everything into his truck, right then and there and hauled it all away! It's nice to know that there are still honest, hardworking people, that we can trust not to take advantage of our elderly! When my dad first told me about how Phil loaded everything up himself and hauled it away, my first question was, "How much did he quote you before you agreed to it???" He said, "It was their minimum." I know what their minimum is, as well as how much stuff and exactly what it was that my dad wanted hauled away. Thank you Coast Junk, for taking care of this! read more

Phil Sr. and his crew did an excellent job clearing out literally tons of garbage for us. I called the company in the morning, met Phil Sr. an hour later, got a very reasonable estimate that evening, and work started the next morning. The job ended up being bigger than we all expected but the team got it all done as quickly as possible. They were always on time (often early), worked hard, and made sure I was satisfied with the final work. Honest and reliable. I will definitely call Coast Junk for future jobs. read more

Coast junk is awesome and highly recommend!!! Sent a message out to Phil which included pictures. Phil responded very quickly. Pricing was very reasonable and the appointment date was quick. All my junk picked up on a timely matter and loaded in a short amount of time! I highly recommend them for your junk pick up and I will definitely use them again for future services. read more

I honestly have to say that after my experience communicating with Phil, he's one of the nicest, most straight-forward, and understanding individuals that I know. I had contacted him to help haul my outdoor grill and bench and his price was very reasonable compared to the competitors like 1-800-GOT-JUNK. When I asked him who to make the check out to he told me that, though it would normally go to his company, because of the COVID situation, he was giving the money to the mover. He was totally understanding and kind when I mixed up the delivery with another company. To give a bit of background, I was JUST speaking with Phil so I assumed that whoever came by to pick up the grill and bench was his employee. Unfortunately it was another company that didn't go through the proper channels that came by instead. So I basically gave the work to someone else by mistake. I felt REALLY bad about the situation, but Phil responded with kindness and understanding even though his guy had a long drive to get to my place. Saying "These things can happen sometimes" and "not to worry". These days it's hard to keep a positive attitude and we've become more accustomed to not trusting others due to COVID. I've recently had horrible contractors come in to do work even through they've gotten high marks on Yelp so I was prepared for another mess. However messaging with Phil over Yelp reminded me that there are truly good people in the world who can still be people-focused more than money-focused even in desperate times. Thanks a lot Phil! I regret my misunderstanding and am truly sorry for the inconvenience read more

5 star rating no hesitation! I would highly recommend this junk removal company and will certainly use them again. They were flexible with my work schedule and very responsive and removed all the junk in my driveway in less then 24 hrs after my initial inquiry. Also their cost seemed completely fair and reasonable too. read more

Absolutely amazing to watch them work. He came and trash is conquered, even took great before and after pictures for us. read more

Phil and his employee not only gave me a fair price for hauling away carpeting and wood that was left in my deck from a failed remodel by another company, but were prompt, communicated, and worked around my schedule. Icing on the cake was how personable and professional they were, and they not only blew the wood dust off my deck, but spent a few minutes on my driveway, too! They were the one good thing that has happened from this headache of a remodel! read more

Phil is just awesome! Quick response, flexible scheduling, fast and professional staff. Had a full load removed this morning for a reasonable price. I'll continue to use this company from now on! read more

My husband and I are in full Spring cleaning/quarantine cleaning mode! We had more junk to be tossed out aside from what could fit in our trash and recycle bin. It was an eyesore to look at our backyard with trash/junk build up, so we decided to call Phil with a quick estimate. I took pictures of what needed to be hauled out, and Phil gave me a VERY REASONABLE estimate and was available to come out the next business day. I wasn't available the next business day because of work, but he was very flexible and was willing to come out on my day off. On the day of pick up, he gave me a two hour window. His guys were running a bit behind that morning, but he was quick to let me know that they'd be a bit late. Definitely appreciated the heads up!! We're still in the process of cleaning, so if we have a surplus of junk again, I'll for surely call Phil! read more

I've used Coast Junk 3 times now and have never been disappointed. They are prompt, polite hardworking and have made me a very happy customer. I also am happy they are a locally owned business. read more

This is truly as good as it gets. Phil gave me a call within *10 MINUTES* of me submitting a request for a quote!! They were able to squeeze in a stop at my place the same day to haul away some old furniture and stuff that we no longer wanted. In the time he called til the time he arrived, my family decided to add a few large items to the haul, and Phil was able to accommodate without issue. It was a minor bump in the price, but they did a fantastic job and kept things tidy as they headed out. I will definitely call them again. They are based in Salinas, but made their way out to me in the South Bay Area! All in all, they managed to respond, show up, haul, clean up, and leave faster than it took some other places to even respond! read more

I got several quotes from different service providers and the quote from Phil is most reasonable and the response was really fast. Phil messaged me from Yelp before he came over on the day we scheduled and arrived on time. He cleared up everything in my garage within 20min by himself and also helped to cleaned the whole garage with a blower. I am 100% satisfied with his service and definitely would recommend and also use again. read more

Nothing but good thing to say about Phil and his business. I requested a quote and replied with in 10min, gave me a more then fair price believe me I looked around.

I called a few places and after seeing a few reviews and speaking to Phil on the phone, I decided to go with these guys at Coast. The local quotes were all in about the same range, but honestly Phil was so great! He confirmed the address and time by text the night before, and was right on time!! He was so nice and helpful, they helped me get rid of most of the stuff in my storage unit and let me know that some of it gets donated locally. I was expecting it to take a bit, but we're completely loaded up within 30 minutes and even helped sweep out the unit. I couldn't have asked for better service. It's such a relief to get rid of my unit, and I have these guys to thank for it. I most def suggest looking at photos of other jobs they've done and you'll see for yourself how truly helpful they are. Thanks again Phil!! read more

Phil and Coast Junk are the gold standard in the hauling business. So many outstanding things about them. Phil is lighting fast with a response--calling me within 10 minutes of requesting multiple Yelp quotes. He is extremely pleasant and gave a highly accurate quote over the phone. Scheduled the pickup. Texted me on the arrival day, and showed up exactly on time. Then, I saw a bunch of supernatural moves, lifting huge heavy furniture into the truck with ease. Great coordination between Phil and the man working with him. During the loading, I talked with Phil, who is a wonderfully nice guy. He's a hard working, local small businessman. Phil represents the very best that Yelp offers. I highly recommend him. read more

I called Coast Junk to haul away a hot tub. They were able to come the following day, and Phil gave me a time between 11 and 1pm. He text me around 11 to let me know that a tire blew out on the trailer, and he might be late. He then text me to let me know when they were back on the road. I really appreciated the communication! They guys arrived close to 1 and went right to work. They were fast, clean and polite. They made sure I was happy with everything before they left. If I need stuff hauled away again I will definitely call Coast Junk. read more

Awesome Company. I called regarding disposal of ewaste and paint which I didn't have a lot; maybe at the most 10 gallons and 1 printer. Chris was very helpful and said they could come out and assist but I could also go to Marina Land fill and dispose of it for free. I will definitely use Coast Junk in the future! Honest company! Thumbs up! read more

Thank you for the quick response! I would have contacted sooner had I known it would be that fast.

Phil came all the way to Groveland to help me clean out mounds of cardboard. They were very friendly and even swept out my garage after they filled their truck! They are very reasonably-priced! I have their number in my contact list for the future. read more

I was very pleased with the professionalism i recieved from Phil. He responded to me within a few hours and gave me a quote just from pictures i sent him. I enjoyed being able to communicate through text message rather than a phone call or website! So it was super convenient for me to set up an appointment. I also got a super quick appointment time 2 days out from the day i contacted Phil. He kept me updated on the time he would be there and where he was currently at which was awesome! Great communication! He is very friendly and the quality of work was awesome ! He was quick and efficient! I wasn't really worried about how quickly my junk got hauled though. Overall i would definetly recommend and use Coast Junk again! read more

I don't know what is going on, but I was suppose to have my old refrigerator removed two weeks ago. I left several messages, and when I finally receive a call back, Phil said his computer was broke and lost all the information. We rescheduled for today between 10 - 12, but now it's 12:24 and no pick up, or call saying they would be late. I have left 3 messages asking him what is going on, and he isn't picking up his cell phone, so I left messages. No response, and I am frustrated. read more

I had the best experience ever with these guys. We needed to get a bunch of junk cleared out of a house that we were buying before an inspection, and Phil made it happen. He is so great at communicating, better than any other business owner that I've dealt with in a long time. He sends updates via text, with photos and video. He always answers his phone and has a great crew of guys who are very efficient. Use these guys, they are the best! read more

Seriously, these guys are amazing!! I decided to use them solely based on their reviews and I am so happy I did. Phil was so easy to work with and the communication was exceptional.

They even swept the area after they hauled away my junk! It hasn't looked that great and clean in years!! Thank you so much for making my move a little less stressful!
