Lance arrived at the house exactly at the set time. He toured the property and noted what was to be disposed of. He emailed a very reasonable estimate that evening. We accepted and set a day/time for the work to be done. On that day they arrived on time and the crew went to work clearing the house then basement then yard a.d garage. One man had to climb a ladder into the garage rafters and crawl around up there clearing old lumber. They swept the garage and even raked the yard and swept the patio. They covered the two huge loads and were gone in less than two hours. The bill was exactly as quoted.
Description of Work: They cleared garbage, old chemicals, old broken broken furniture from house, garage, yard, basement and rafters of garage. Swept garage and raked yard before they left with a full truck and trailer. The were careful not to scrape walls or track dirt into the house. They were prompt and polite. I would definitely call them again.

I don't have a lot of stuff to get rid of so the person I talked to on the phone said they will just charge me the minimum $75 (I forgot to mention the 5% Angieslist couple but that's OK). Two guys show up on time and cleanned up the pile in the garage in less than 5 minutes. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: I called Metro Haul-Way on Thursday and was able to make an appointment for Friday morning at 9:30. They showed up 10 minutes before and were very efficient in completing the job.

We had some items to be hauled as we were moving. We got a quote over the phone, and scheduled the pick-up for a day or two later. The haulers were professional and friendly, knocked at the door, confirmed what we wanted hauled, worked quickly, and stayed out of the way of the movers who were also loading furniture at that time. They picked up exactly what we asked them to take, and left the area clean. They worked fast.
Description of Work: Metro Haul-A-Way sent 2 nice young guys to our house, picked up a couch, some small haz-mat items like paint and all the used batteries that had piled up for the past 8 years, and many other items for a total of $75, and did so promptly and professionally. We have used their services in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Easy to work with and priced well.

These guys are on my contact list To call again when I need them

Lance and the crew arrived 5 minutes early and worked for 40 minutes or so to haul away a lot of debris. They were efficient, polite and fast and left our garage and shed in an excellent condition. We would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We moved to our new house early March and were dismayed to notice that the previous owner did not empty the garage and shed as was agreed. Lance and his crew emptied all the debris, broken glass, building materials, paint cans and solvent canisters from our garage and shed. It was important for us to learn that they would take all the paint and solvents to the Metro hazardous waste facility to be properly disposed.

I had a huge amount of yard debris needing to be hauled. I emailed Lance at 9PM on a Friday night and got a reply within a half hour with a quote (that included everything even dump costs). He said he could be out at 9AM the next day with his crew. They arrived right at 9AM and got to work. His team of 5 guys had my yard debris in their giant truck within 20 minutes. They swept the place up really neat as well. They even had a 10% coupon from Angie's List that brought the total cost down to $158. I will definitely be calling Lance and his team in the future. I am so happy I didn't have to haul all that stuff myself.
Description of Work: Hauled away many cubic yards of branches and yard debris.

I emailed Metro Haul-a-way late Wednesday night, they called first thing Thursday morning, and my ~ 8 cubic yards of wood wood from an old deck was gone by Thursday at noon. The 2 man crew was quick and professional. The price of this company was the best of 6 "A" companies on Angie's List that I contacted. The next best price was Oregon Hauling. The highest price quoted was nearly twice what Metro Haul-a-way charged, so it pays to call around.

I contacted Lance in February to ask for an estimate. Two months after the remodel was finished, we booked a date for the following week. Lance and his helpers arrived half an hour late. I had to call to find out that they were stuck in traffic. He was on the site the whole time, supervising his workers, who worked very hard. Loading our stuff took 1.5 hours, since they had to pick up tiny, soggy pieces of sheetrock. I feel we got a good price for all the work they did and the things they hauled away.

Called Metro Haul- A -Way on Tuesday and they came the next day. They were on time as promised and very polite. They picked up all the items and were done in about 15 minutes. I like the fact they take all the items to the recycle center and not the landfill.

I e-mailed Lance Cronk on 5/27/09 about hauling away a sofa and futon mattress. He called early on 5/28 and arrived an hour later. The sofa was sitting outside and he had it in his truck before he even rang the bell. He carried the mattress up from the basement. The whole thing took about ten minutes, and the price was great, lower than other places I checked. I'll definitely call him again.

We found Metro Haul-A-Way more than lived up to the reviews previous Angie's List members gave in appreciation and praise. We liked them so much the first time that we had them come back within a week to haul away more items. They came promptly and at the scheduled time and with the right equipment and appropriately sized truck. They finished the work easily within the estimated time frame. In one case the work crew actually finished within half the estimated time! The crew was prepared, skilled and very efficient with clean equipment and large clear logos. They were professional and courteous in their response to our requests and inquiries and responded cheerfully to unexpected additional hauling requests. They were amazingly quiet while they worked in what could normally be a noisy, sound grating job. We and our neighbors really appreciated how quiet they were. Metro Haul-A-Way's prices for labor, dump fees and hauling away were competitive and fair. They really demonstrated a sense of pride and respect for their clients and for their work. We would definitely use Metro Haul-A-Way again. In addition, we intend to recommend this company to our friends and business associates. They were fabulous!
Description of Work: Metro Haul-A-Way took away our old furniture and equipment, yard debris, old paint, old doors and vast amounts of unwanted items from the basement, main living area, garage, outside yard and shed.

I called them and they were there within a couple of hours. They were extremely fast and courteous. It cost about what they had quoted, but they were there for such a short period of time that it seemed a little bit high. Still, it was well worth it and because of the low hassle involved I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Had Metro come and haul away a TON of bamboo we had stacked after thinning it plus other random yard debris we had lying in piles. They also picked up the leftover trash we had in our garage after renovating the basement. There wasn't much of that as we had already had most of it hauled away.

Great job. Courteous on the phone. I described what I had and he gave me a ballpark idea of what it would cost. We made an appointment and they showed up on time. For $180, they filled up a large trailer, broke down a really big set of shelves and carried stuff up from my basement. They were polite and professional. They did all the heavy lifting and it cost less than what it would have cost me to get a dumpster and try to do all of it myself. And they cleaned up after themselves (breaking up the shelving made quite a mess). Really, really happy with the work. I would hire them again in a second.

The experience went very well from beginning to end. I called them up and I told them I needed something hauled, so they left a drop box at my house. After that I gathered up all the leftovers from the yard work and put it in the box. After I was done, I called them back and they picked up the box and hauled it off, and I was satisfied with how quickly the drop off/pick up was. I thought the prices were fair also. I have no complaints about how they treated me over the phone and in person.

I called Metro to remove items from my basement and garage. I was able to make an appointment with them within several days of placing the call. They arrived promptly and worked quickly to remove items. They also were very good about making sure they were taking only items designated for removal. If they had any doubts they checked with me first. They were very patient when a family member insisted that an item be brought back that they had already loaded on the truck! I was also happy to learn that they were taking all of my items to a Metro facility that would separate the items and recycle them where possible. Because of the short time frame I didn't get any other bids so I'm uncertain as to a price comparison. Lance gave me a price range over the phone since he wasn't sure how much I had to haul away. The cost was within the price range but I don't know how this would compare with other haulers.

Lance Cronk and his crew went beyond their scope of regular jobs to climb into the dirt crawlspace under the house and carry up a flight of stairs and outside a truckload of heavy building debris left by a previous owner in order that a buried sewer line could be repaired. While it cost more than he had estimated roughly using pictures I sent, it was well worth it and I really appreciated them helping me get it cleared out. They also did a good job sweeping up as much as possible. Also, my e-mail inquiry was answered immediately.
Description of Work: Removal of building debris from crawlspace under house.
