I called for an appointment to have 2 large, heavy sofa beds removed from my second floor. The 2 men, Greg and Tyson, were delayed but kept me informed as to possible time of arrival. Despite arriving several hours after the scheduled time, they apologized for the delay. I was impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. They were able to maneuver one large sofa through a doorway that original movers had great difficulty with. They were able to get the sofas down a flight of stairs that had two 90 degree turns. They took extreme caution to not damage walls, floors or baseboards. Greg used his hands to prevent the beds from touching the walls. It truly was amazing to watch how carefully they were able to move both very heavy sofas. I inquired as to what happens with the products they remove . They explained that items that are potentially usable are taken to their warehouse where several different non-profit organizations may come to pick up items for them to use. Large items such as sofa beds generally are not picked up by many non-profit organizations. I would have no hesitation to use this company again.

Scheduling the visit was easy and without a long wait. A previous job ran long but they kept me informed of the time they expected to arrive. It was still within the timeframe I had booked. The price was reasonable and within the estimate given. I would definitely recommend them.

They were on time and extremely friendly and professional. They took a look at everything, gave me a price, got to work and loaded everything quickly. They even cleaned up afterwards, which I wasn’t expecting, so that was definitely a huge plus. The price depended on how everything fit into the truck and how much room it all took up, which I didn’t think was too bad. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their services and will definitely use them again in the future if needed.

Team was fast, efficient, arrived on time. They were, however, a little too interested in some of my junk that I wasn't sure if it would be recycled or resold. I guess it doesn't really matter, since all I wanted was for it to be out of my house.

They were terrific. They go through what they take and if there's anything that they can donate or recycle, they take it and place it to the said and take it to the places they work with.

2 men and a truck arrived on time. What appeared to be a truck and a half worth of material was loaded efficiently into a single truck. Very little was left behind. The men were careful to pack efficiently to make sure everything fit into the truck. They were polite and efficient. In my opinion, the cost was much higher than it should have been but the service was great. They swept out the garage and left it very clean.

I had used the service previously for a last minute need on furniture removal, but this was the first time that I had scheduled the pick-up in advance and prepared for a large load of items.  I am not exaggerating to say that I was amazed that the gentleman who arrived were able to fit everything that I had in my garage into 2/3 of the truck.  Because you pay by the amount of the truck that is filled, I would have thought that they had little motivation to be as efficient as possible, but I swear they pulled out all of their best Tetris(tm) skills in order to take up minimal space.
In addition, they were extremely professional, quick and very clear about the cost, their process, etc.  They also cleaned my garage floor before leaving, such that it was cleaner than it had been since I moved into the house.
For a single person with limited ability to move furniture and heavy items on her own, I absolutely love this service and will definitely use them again.

Two young men from 1-800-Gotjunk arrived exactly on time. They entered and looked over the job. They removed the top cover of the refrogerator and began to move it out; water became an immediate issue; they put down over our carpet, a tarp. The job of taking this item out to the truck and lifting the thing onto the bed was a monster, and these guys performed brilliantly. The range, washer and dryer and television were not a problem at all.
These two young men were professional, courteous, and efficient. Their work was right on professional. Just a perfect job!!

This is the first time I used a company to remove junk, so I had no idea what to expect.  I didn't have a full load, although the items were somewhat heavy.  Anyway, they quoted me a price of $179, which seemed reasonable for what I had.  It was easy to book an appointment online and they came on Saturday morning so I didn't have to take any time off from work.  Would definitely use again in the future.

This is the second time I've used 1-800-gotjunk?  Both times I had professional young men come to my house, assess the amount of work, make a quote on the spot, and then haul away the goods.  This time, when they were done they broom swept the floors in the basement, which I did not expect, but was delighted by.  Price was acceptable to me and they came both times within house of my calling.  Can't say enough good things.

They were extremely friendly, well-organized.  They came when they said they would and did what they needed to do.  They really had their act together.
