George Carlin once said, "your house is a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more…read morestuff!" Well, it was finally time to get rid of some of this stuff! Over the last couple of home projects, a nice little pile of stuff (actually, it was another s-word, but I'll keep it Yelp friendly) has been collecting in my garage and it's got to go! I thought about getting a junk removal service but decided to do the work myself. I am not allergic to work. I started researching dumpsters by looking first to my regular trash pickup company. That seemed like a logical place to begin. Until I saw the cheapest option they had for residential service was over $800! Wtf. That was so frustrating, not only did I not use them, but now I'm looking for a different trash company altogether! Enter Funky Junk! Seriously, they were amazing. I could easily see my options online and decided to go with a slightly larger dumpster to make sure I had room. Pricing was upfront and there were NO hidden costs. $350 vs $800 with those other guys for the same size dumpster! They do charge extra for certain items due to different EPA regulations, but they provide a paper that has the items and prices clearly marked. I decided to go ahead and put in an old plasma TV for a $25 charge. Worth it! The dumpster I received had two large swing doors which was nice. We had an old couch and could just walk it right into the dumpster instead of trying to heave it over the side. The service and communication were excellent. I actually did all of the scheduling and payment online, which was really nice. I was surprised when they called me a day early and said they had extra time to drop off the dumpster a day early for no extra charge, if that worked for me. It did! I ended up finishing my trash project much quicker than anticipated simply because they were so helpful in providing the early drop off! The technician who dropped off the dumpster was kind and helpful. They also put these hard plastic feet down so the hard metal wheels on the dumpster aren't sitting directly on the concrete driveway. And these are included in the price. I got text messages about the drop off and text reminder for the pickup. I didn't need to be there for either, although I was present for the drop off. It felt so good to finish this project and work with a company who mad things simple and took away any anxiety. The job is done and it's time to celebrate! I think I'll sip this wine and dance all night cause that's how I play.

We needed a new trash collection provider desperately. Ever since Waste Management bought out our…read moreprevious vendor, Ray's, our collection was non-existent. It was a struggle every week and there were many weeks we did not get either of our two dumpsters emptied. Promises were made and never fulfilled, even in trying to upgrade our service, they would not accommodate us. WM just wasn't interested in servicing our location and eventually I found out why. We shopped around and checked every other trash collection company in the Indianapolis metro area. It wasn't until I saw Jack's driving down our rural road close to Centerton regularly that I thought we might have found a company willing to work with us when many other companies were not. As it turned out, a neighboring business down the street had switched to them a few weeks prior to us beginning our service. We previously had a three yard dumpster and a two yard dumpster. We wanted one four yard dumpster and wanted it emptied once a week. Jack's accommodated us and has regularly emptied it each week now for a month. So far we are very happy with Jack's. Our brand new dumpster has four lids instead of the usual two or one. Four works much better and the price per month is cheaper than ALL of the other companies. It was a little bit of a struggle getting service started but after speaking with our driver I understand why. WM does not want rural business, therefore Jack's is picking up all the rural business they are leaving behind plus the customers leaving WM, so they are busier than usual but are able to make the necessary adjustments to service their existing customers as well as bring on new ones. We never had a problem with Ray's until WM bought them out. We had the same guys every week. Now with Jack's, it is the same thing again, with the same guys each week. That says a lot about the company. It means their employees are being paid well enough to stay and Jack's hired good people so that don't call off work too much. Plus it is a local company, not some corporate conglomerate that is only interested in the big contracts. When we call them we get the office in Greencastle, not a call center in California as with WM.
