Living in Socal we first shipped many of her things via pod home, but due to time and logistical constraints we couldn't find a construciton contractor (approve by the building) who would do junk removal along with their remodel bid), so we had to do the removal prior to renovation. They were courtesous, professional and communicative. Price is on the high side, but they do offer quite alot like partial donations, disassembly and tracking. I've dealt with junk removal companies before and know the game, over communicate and document everything and you'll be treated properly becuase most removal companies try and find a way to take advantage of the urgency, priority or just treat your home unlike their own. Having cameras and witness' on property definitely help keep everyone honest. They made short work of the large furniture and noting specific directions for certain items that we wanted donated to a local church as well as doing all the admin for the permits for the landfill items. Had I spent more on the shipping I'd spent less on the removal since it's by volume. All in all I'd use them again, but only due to logistics as I'd prefer to pay a construction company a single bid to do it all from removal, demo to the build out (limited by approved vendors by the building)

So very expensive. $500( and that was with 10%off because they blew us off the day prior)). We had…read morea large fish tank to be removed.

Start calling junk and appliance removal services ASAP. This was the place that was able to do the job within a few hours tonight, so they won the job. They weren't the cheapest--I got a text from a woman at another service saying they'd be able to do it for $198, but they couldn't come until tomorrow and unfortunately in this case time was definitely of the essence. The guys came within an hour and had all the appliances loaded within five minutes--from the time they pulled up to the time they pulled away was ten minutes tops. They were pretty transparent about pricing, though they couldn't give us an exact cost because they charge based upon how much it fills the truck. There was a $25 fee for Freon removal. I'd definitely recommend them for their promptness and great customer service, both on the phone and in person. Review #602 - November 23, 2021

Since I wasn't sure if pricing, and after reading a few posts- I also followed up with some companies on Thumbtack. I had two companies say they could do the yard waste removal for $200 and $220 respectfully. I reached out to Andrew, with 1-800-Got- Junk, who had texted earlier on Friday to see if they could come that evening. I asked if they would be able to give a price with pictures as I had other individuals who had. I sent the photos and he gave the price of $249. I thanked him for his time but asked that we cancel my appointment. That I will be going in a different direction. He asked if there was a number he could match and I shared $200. He agreed and shared he let the crew know it was a flat $200. Upon arrival today I showed the guys the pile. I mentioned on the phone to Brandon, when he called to share he was on his way and asked where the items were, that a few pavers were out front but otherwise everything was in the back. When they arrived I showed him and his partner the spot. I shared I didn't want all the pavers in the photos I sent removed, just the scallop ones and that there's a few out front. Which would be a total of less pavers than the original picture had. I asked if I paid now or later, as he confirmed they were told the flat rate of $200. He said after when they were done. Brandon and his partner got to work. After 5-10 minutes, my doorbell rang. I was shocked it was that fast. They were almost done but Brandon shared his manager Miguel was on the phone and wished to speak to me. He said that because the pavers out front weren't in the photo it would be a different charge. Okay- I mean there were a ton of pavers in the photos sent and I didn't want them to take the majority of those but I understood. He went on to say that even though it is a very small amount of pavers, it would be an additional $100. Yes, you read that right - 50% MORE than promised for the pavers out front. I said that was crazy. He said he knows it seems like a lot but that Andrew already gave me a huge discount, so it'll need to be that price. No mention of just not taking the pavers and honoring the price agreed upon. I shared I had another company willing to do this job for $200. He then started accusing me of adding items. I was transparent and wasn't trying to trick anyone. He then started grilling me on the phone and I said it doesn't matter as he shared they wouldn't be doing the job for less than $300. I said no thank you and that the guys would need to put the items back. He laughed at me. I immediately stop them as they were about to haul another pile. I didn't realize it was almost the last pile. When I shared what occurred, they both seemed shocked of the additional $100 request, or rather demand. They did put all the items back but they threw it all over my backyard. I understand their frustration but what kind of bait and switch was that?!? I reached out to the number Andrew texted yesterday. Not sure if it goes to his work line or the company. I'm not asking for a discount nor for them to come back. I reached out to the other company and they will be coming to take care of this for the agreed upon $200. I'm not big of negative reviews. As you'll see from my profile and only write them if a line was crossed. The way I was spoken to on the phone and the way they left my yard was that line. Photos show what I sent. I told the guys when they got here they didn't have to take all of the pavers in the backyard but just the scallop ones. That there's a few scallop I moved to the driveway instead that would go. I highlighted the red section of the ones that wouldn't need to go. Again the agreed upon price included ALL of these pavers going. So swapping one those for others...don't get. Plus I understand and would have paid $20-25 more if needed. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS...50% more. No.

Marion is literally a life saver! He came out immediately and as promised to remove furniture and household items from my Aunt's condo so we could get it on the market. Not only did he show up at the time he promised to be there but he was extremely courteous, professional and moved the furniture out as if it was from his own home! His assistant Bucky was equally as amazing! They knew exactly what they were doing, moved everything with extreme caution as to not do any damage to anything! We cannot be more pleased with the job they did. Strongly recommend them to not only remove your unwanted items, but if you have a move coming up definitely use their team for that as well. Thank you so much Marion and Bucky. read more

I called for an estimate on emptying my basement of 38 years of accumulated "stuff" and Marion called within 30 minutes to set up a time to come and take a look at the job. Within two days, at a fantastically low price, his team cleared out the basement in less than 3 hours! Several weeks later, I again called to have furniture moved from the house and it was removed the very next day at, again, a fantastically low price. The whole experience was a great burden lifted from my shoulders by experienced, courteous, good-natured professionals. Thanks so much Marion and team! Jim H. read more

Cleaning out an elderly loved ones home for sale is never an easy task. Bridget, Lynn, Frank, Lee, Bucky, and the others were so sensitive to the fact that this was an emotional day for me. They treated me, my mother's stuff (even though it was garbage), and the home so respectfully. They were fast, honest, and a better price than other large name "junk removal" companies. I would recommend them over and over for any cleanup large or small. A really top notch crew and a locally owned business. read more
