Services we offer
We offer a complete junk removal service. We come in to your home or business and do the lifting and loading of your items into our trucks, then haul them away. Pricing is based upon how much space the items fill up in our trucks.
Services we don't offer
Cleaning (maid services), pet waste removal, and hazardous waste disposal. We are not a weekly garbage collection service. We do not have a junkyard, cars or car parts for sale, nor do we junk out old cars.
When Scott visited the property, he estimated two full loads for $873.00 and suggested we try to get rid of some of the stuff. We advertised on Craigslist and had a garage sale. We got rid of most of the stuff. When he and Matt came they were visibly upset at how much was gone and then had to adjust the price down to $640 cash. After complaining about every item we wanted removed, he took about 3/4 truck away and for that price, I still am left with junk. His website claims that 1 load would be $473.

I used Scott with JunkEco on 2 separate occasions recently to haul junk from a basement & garage cleanout. Scott was punctual and professional both times. I will continue to use Scott & JunkEco whenever I need something hauled away.

I called Junk Eco/Scott Petersen on Friday, October 9, 2015 to inquire about his services and pricing. I let him know what type of junk i had to haul away, talked about pricing and his availability. He asked if it was possible to pick up the junk that day but no one was home. He had a window of availability for the very next day and we settled on a price of $118.00. Scott called my cell phone approximately 15 minutes before he arrive, letting me know his estimated ETA. When he arrived he was able to look at all the construction materials that was the junk. It was more than I described on the phone and he had to revise the estimated price on the spot. He was careful to do this, saying he didn't want to complete the job and then have the price change on us. I really appareciated the communication and honesty. I asked to us a coupon and we arrived at $150 (from $180-$200). My husband and I helped him load his truck (not a requirement, we offered) and the whole process took about 40 minutes. The junk took up 1/6 to 1/4 space of a 14' truck. Scott was really pleasant, professional and easy to work with. We are in the middle of a basement finish and doing things on a string budget and even less time. Junk Eco was reasonably priced and well worth the money and time. We would definitely hire Junk Eco and Scott again.

It went great. Scott and another man were so nice and accommodating and cheerful. Some of the lawn refuse bags turned out to be decomposing on the bottom so they were unable to just pick them up and throw them in the truck. They grabbed 2 shovels and tandem carried the super stinky and disgusting bags to the truck. Didn't miss a beat. Oh and they Cheerfully took 3 giant kitty boxes! Lol. Really awesome guys.
Description of Work: Hauled a ton of misc junk and goodwill type stuff from my basement, plus about 10 bags of lawn refuse, a small printer and an air conditioner.

It went better than expected. Will definitely use again.
Description of Work: Hauled away a garage full of junk, including 2 mattresses, old cabinets, chairs, and several large bags of junk. It was a huge load that filled his truck. I called Scott on Thursday evening, he replied within an hour and we set up an appointment for Friday afternoon. Scott called saying he was closer then he thought and showed up early. I will be calling Junk Eco again soon for more junk removal.

The provider responded to my messages very promptly. On the day of the scheduled service, the provider was a little late, but called and apologized. Scott and his associate were pleasant and professional. Upon arrival, instead of ringing the door bell, they called my cell so they would not wake my sick baby, which I greatly appreciated. Quickly removed all the items, some of them quite large/bulky and not easy to move around. They kindly moved another heavy item one floor down per my request. The price seemed reasonable. Highly recommended and will definitely use the provider's services again.
Description of Work: Removed all the items that I wanted to get rid off quickly and efficiently.

Scott was absolutely excellent. Called before he arrived, was on time and efficient, and was super quick in responses. Loved that he was able to recycle my cardboard and take all my extras instead of having to wait for a roll-off container and not be able to get rid of everything. Was significantly cheaper then using the roll off container too. I would recommend junk eco to anyone. Probably the best angie's list experience I've had. Keep up the great work Scott!

It was nice meeting you and chatting a bit during the job, [Removed Member Name]. All the cardboard and most the other items were recycled that day after the removal project was done. I'm glad you had a great experience with Junk Eco. I appreciate the great review [Removed Member Name], thanks! I hope your remodeling turned out well and you have an awesome Summer.

Scott and his helper, Doug, did a great job. Doug arrived early and assessed how they might get the couch and chair up the stairs and outside, as the couch was very heavy and the stairs and doorways narrow. When Scott arrived with the truck, we agreed they should just dismantle the couch. That old sofa was very sturdy, but they were persistent in breaking it down. They were very careful not to scrape the walls or knick the doorways when carrying items to the truck. Both men were pleasant and professional. I thought the cost reasonable and would hire Scott and his crew again.
Description of Work: Removed a heavy 1950's hide-a-bed sofa from my folk's basement along with a 1950's stuffed rocking chair and an old wooden door.

Called Junk Eco because I wanted to get rid a lot of stuff in my garage. Spoke to Scott on a Thursday and had scheduled the pickup for Saturday. He was early and we quickly loaded up all the items in his truck. He even helped me move 2 large boxes that I was keeping into a better spot. He explained that all the usable items go to Bridging for those who need items due to fires, homelessness, etc so I felt good that my money went to the right company. Very friendly guy.

Scott and his guys did a great job today removing construction debris from our home in South Minneapolis. They filled up half their truck with our debris, Which included 6-7 bags of heavy concrete debris. Most of the materials (except the concrete which was in our garage) were in our basement so they hauled it all up. Took them 90 minutes in total. They came within 24 hours of contacting them and were on time. We have used a couple of other junk haulers int eh past including 800 got junk, and found Junk Eco to be the best overall value by far. Scott and his team are great and we highly recommend them.

I emailed Junk Eco with a rough list of the junk I wanted hauled away. Scott replied within a couple of hours with a quote ($198 - $249), which I agreed was reasonable, and scheduled pickup for the next afternoon. Scott arrived on time, looked over the junk pile, and we reached an agreement that $210 was a fair price for the load. He loaded all the items into his truck and was gone within 30 minutes. Great experience. Professional company. Glad to know that all recyclables are being properly handled, and usable items are often brought to thrift stores.
Description of Work: Loaded and hauled away a bunch of junk from my garage for recycling/disposal. The items included two TVs, three pieces of furniture, old grill, two old exterior doors, miscellaneous wood scraps, and multiple medium sized boxes of garbage.

Scott did an excellent job. The price he charged was excellent. I would definitely use them again. I was very impressed with his professionalism and how he single handedly took care of the job. I would recommend him above and beyond all the other companies. It is a small company and he was willing to do anything needed. I saw a table in his truck and he asked if I needed it and I said yes. He did not even charge for that. It took him a few minutes to get it out of his truck and he was adamant to take his time and get everything done right. He came out the same day that I called him. There was a coupon and he matched a competitors price with no questions asked. I had extra stuff when he came out and that probably would have been an up charge normally but there no additional costs.
Description of Work: He hauled a bunch of junk out of our garage. They took an iron bathtub.

This was a massive undertaking and I am so grateful to Junk Eco for their hard work. Our nonprofit school moved to a smaller building and we had a lot of leftover stuff that was not moving with us. After checking with other services we asked Junk Eco to take the extras away. I like that they recycle and not just dispose. It took several days and several trips to remove everything from the building. They even went into the sub-basement. It was a dirty, difficult job and these guys showed up every day and worked hard. I highly recommend them!
