Ended up booking with Junk King North Shore about 3 days before my appointment, their website said that was the appropriate location to book with for my zip code. Online booking was pretty straightforward. They texted the day before to confirm with me. I had a 2-4pm slot, naturally I had all my belongings pretty much bagged up and ready to go so I sat on my phone 2-3:30 with no contact from them. Finally texted the customer service line asking for an ETA, Rebekah very helpfully let me know she contacted the owner and they should be in touch shortly. Waited another 20 minutes/ until it hit 4pm and decided to call and ask again. After speaking with her on the phone Rebekah again helpfully contacted the owner and let me know they were on their way to me but running late and should call momentarily. They did call at about 4:10 and let me know they were running late and stuck in traffic, it would be an additional 45 minutes to get to me from Woburn. I am totally understanding of the inevitability of afternoon traffic however it would have been nice to know earlier that they wouldn't be headed towards me until after the appointment window was up, some notification that they were running behind would've been nice. They finally arrive at about 5:15, give me a quote for $480 saying I had about 2 pickup trucks worth of stuff (see attached photo for approximately how much stuff I had, in addition to a full sized mattress that is not shown). I said that works, they cleared everything out in about 25 minutes and were on their way. Overall the wait/lack of heads up was pretty annoying but they got the job done quickly once they finally got here. I do really appreciate Rebekah's friendliness and helpfulness in finding out what was going on and that is part of why I gave them 4 stars rather than 3.

As instructed on the drop off page of their website I called them to tell them of my drop off. First, I called in the morning to establish my understanding. The woman who answered confirmed my information and I was told to call when I was close, which I did. In my second call, ten minutes away, I was given directions and to go to door #7 not clearly marked). I was also informed, for the first time, that they did not take credit cards for drop offs. This meant I had to go get cash. As I arrived, one of their trucks was pulling in. He wanted to get into the bay of the garage. I asked him about drop off and he said he would call. This guy was very helpful and friendly, he entered the building, which clearly had credit card indicators on the door. If not for drop offs, for whom, as pickups would not see the door? Once I emptied my documents into the barrel, the truck driver emptied the barrel into the truck shredder. I don't think they have an on-site shredder, maybe just truck based. He took mt money, but then had to go looking for change. I only had twenties, as I was not expecting a cash exchange. So, good price, nice guy, got my shredding done, but it seemed a bit haphazard. Could work on processes.
