This was the second time I used their services and have been completely satisfied both times with every aspect of their work. They were prompt, courteous, fairly priced, got the job done quickly and then clean-up the area where my debris had been piled up. For the homeowner with ongoing building projects, they are a dream come true.

very professional. Called when running late for estimate. They arrived to haul a half an hour early to remove junk after calling first. Stuff was gone after a half an hour. Not sure how many dump runs it would have taken for me. Valuable service.

They gave me the price on the phone and made an appointment to come the next day. They were exactly on time and had everything out in little more than five minutes. There were no "misunderstandings." They were personable and hardworking. I'll call them again. BTW, there are several other "dump guys" using the same name. Be sure you call this one.
Description of Work: Removed four old appliances: 2 refrigerators, 1 electric range and a dishwasher, plus all the packing/shipping materials from their replacements (wood pallets, cardboard, styrofoam etc.).

We are remodeling our house and had gutted two rooms. Had a large pile of debris including plaster, lathing strips, tiles, paneling, etc. The two men arrived on time, cleaned up all of the debris from both our back and front yards and took it to the dump. They left our yard clean and they were efficient and very pleasant to work with. We have many more rooms to go and we now have The Dump Guy on our speed dial!

The service was excellent. I had a 9 AM appointment, they called about 15 minutes prior to say they'd be a few minutes late. They arrived around 9:10, and had removed all of the junk I needed to get rid of in about 10 minutes. Fast, friendly, and super affordable. I would definitely recommend them/use them again.
Description of Work: Removed miscellaneous junk from the basement of my home. Larger items including a TV and easy chair, and several smaller items such as computer printers and a broken shop vac.

I love to watch these guys leave!! Hands down, they are absolutely fantastic. Don't hesitate to call them, they know how to get it done, and aren't afraid to work!! They showed up within hours of the first call, on the day before a holiday (July 4th) and swung into action!! This was a filthy project...And I do mean FILTHY. A tenant had allowed a landfill of sorts to accumulate on the property during the rental. There was rotting trash, an overwhelming amount of junk and some hazardous materials all in a pile that had been baking in the sun prior to their arrival. These guys didn't skip a beat, they jumped right in and removed the worst of what had accumulated, making it easier for me to do the rest with a dumpster. They came back a few weeks later and hauled all the metal I had sorted for free. I understand that they get cash for metal and am hoping they got a good amount as they more than worked for it the first time around!!! I would not hesitate to use them again, and will recommend them to everyone I know!! Watching them pull out of the driveway with all the trash and junk in tow was a beautiful sight !! :)

The side of my house I had accumulated a great deal of junk from the basement and work around the house and yard. The clean up was a job I did not want to tackle. I set an appointment, they came and had the job done quick and with a much appreciated level of professionalism. I will be calling these guys again this fall.

They did a good job. The first man that came out was very nice guy, he is probably the owner though a young guy. He was very nice and gave me a submit and in respect to it. I don't know if they tried and there was a lot of stuff they took out like stoves, an old TV and they sent out two younger guys. I didn't even know if they could get it all on but they managed to and I was surprised. They don't have huge movers in, I didn't have that much but it was kind of backed up to the end of the garage so we could get our cars in and they took everything wonderful. They did an excellent job and it wasn't very long, and they did the best they could and I think they do a great job.
Description of Work: Dump Guy cleaned out my garage and I had a lot of stuff from kids moving out, leaving things and what they didn't take I had to get all kinds of stuff from the garden.

I happened on thier ad the day before while waiting for Thia food. After movers left the house on Saturday, I was facing a large pile of trash which would take me 2-3 trip to get rid off. Called The Dump Guy at 11am and they were there at noon. Quickly loaded up the truck and were off and were very professional in providing this service.

Great experience. I created a pile of sod about 10' long 5' wide and 4' high during a home improvement project. Called Tuesday they were here on Wednesday (called to ask if it was ok when they were going to arrive early). Courteous, friendly workers, dispatched the pile quickly and left no mess. Very communicative, paid what I expected and saved me loads of time.

The crew that came out were very efficient, very polite ("yes, Ma'am), very nice/pleasant, and never made me feel badly about the condition of my home. At one point during a short break, one of them said, "You know, when we came you apologized about the condition of your home. I have to tell you, your home is a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I have seen MUCH worse." I'm not sure they would have agreed, but I chose to believe him. I liked all three men, but two of them stood out as being extra special. I cannot rave enough about this Dump Guy crew, their work ethic (they had a short lunch break, while one of them would haul to the dump or recycling, the others would keep working). And, although they were willing to stay Monday and finish the job (in the dark and cold), I had other commitments that evening and could not stay. I requested that the same team come back the next day, and they called the office and received permission to accommodate my request. They definitely deserved a tip. You'll probably feel the same way once they've helped you. The teams come from Westbrook, the core went to high school together. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Description of Work: Dump Guy provided a free estimate of work and surprised me that the price would be 'by the load' vs. by the hour. An estimate of 5-6 loads was given at $250/load. Certain items had a disposal fee (acrylic paint/$3gal, monitors/$10). I also needed to have my rugs and wall to wall carpeting removed throughout the house, including the padding and the tack strips. This carpet/pad/tack-strip removal work (vs. hauling the old carpet and padding which would be part of the "by the load") was priced at $200 for the entire house). Two men would come to do the work. Because I am partially disabled, the condition of my home had gotten out of hand, things were piled on other tings, and I was approaching, but not quite at, hoarder status and very unhappy about it. I had too much furniture, too many tchotchkes (knick knacks), too many clothes and no where to store them. Jason, the estimate provider, indicated that it would be best if I knew exactly what was staying and what was to go--that is the way most of their customers did it. That way it would take less time. Then we had Super-Storm Sandy and pushed the work out to the next week. Bright and early Monday morning, Justin, Nick, and Sean arrived. Three guys! They confirmed I was paying by the load, not the # of arms and legs and we got right to work. They hauled away many things (anything hauled that wasn't simply bulk paper (books/magazines) or metal was referred to as 'trash' as in "Is this 'trash'?" The item might be a perfectly good artificial plant or a wreath or a vase or a pillow vs. what one would conventionally think of as 'trash' (garbage). But in a way, this was freeing because it allowed me to emotionally let go of item after item. I'd gone into this with the thought, "If I haven't seen it or used it in the past 2 years, it goes." I struck to that promise even when I discovered really cool stuff. I knew I wasn't able to resell it, move it to give it away, or anything else, so it had to go. They paused and let me examine the contents of boxes when requested, they split up and began to move the big things while Justin helped me clear out cupboards and drawers. They supported me and provided encouragement. All in all they sorted and cleared out 2 floors, 5 rooms, the basement, the outside deck and underdeck AND the garage, the yard, and things stacked beside the garage, moved furniture I wanted to keep into the rooms I wanted the furniture to be in (up or down), and in one case moved furniture out to the garage that I intended to put on consignment. They also removed not only the carpet, pad and tack strips but when it was discovered that whoever had installed the carpet had also stapled the pad down every 2 feet, they agreed to remove all the staples and that was from 2 halls, 4 rooms, and two flights of stairs and risers. Since time on job was a concern for them, I offered to increase the carpet tear out by 50%. All in all, it took them 10 or 11 hours over Monday and the first half of Tuesday. The loads turned out to be 4, not 5 or 6. When I say I hope to never need them to come again, it is only because I hope never to be in this situation again. I actually wished they performed other work (refinishing, carpentry, etc), because the Dump Guy team set a new standard in terms of excellent service, quality workmanship, and understanding support.

It was easy to schedule a pick up from the Dump Guys, they showed up right on time, were very professional and got a garage loaded with junk cleaned out quickly. They were up front about pricing, double checking with me when they found an item that had an extra disposal charge. I will not hesitate to call them again.

Two guys showed up exactly when they said. It was a bit of a challenge to remove the doors and fit the fridge out the door and down the stairs. They did an excellent job. We had to remove a louver door which was really hard to get back installed. Great attitude, very friendly. I love these guys and my ghetto fridge is gone. Yeah!!
