I called after seeing a deal posted for Angie's List members and spoke to Chris(sp?) and made an appointment for the next day. She was very helpful and friendly on the phone. The 2 guys (Josh and Dave) who showed up were friendly and helpful. They worked fast and removed everything without any difficulty. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Junk Happens to everyone. I will make sure to spread the word about these guys.
Description of Work: Removed some furniture and misc junk from my apartment.

Josh and Dave did the work; they arrived on time and worked very efficiently. I had purchased a Big Deal for $89, but had more than the 1/4 truckload, so paid an additional $42 (plus $30 in recycling fees for a computer monitor and the freezer). I had forgotten about all the pavers when they came, so had to call them shortly after they left and ask them to return. They did so within 30 minutes and finished up the job.
Description of Work: Removing many old pavers and other concrete, plus miscellaneous household items (including small freezer).

It was easy setting up the appointment time and getting an estimate over the phone. Only one person showed up to do the move and he explained to me his partner was called away on a family emergency. He was able to move all the pieces (even down a half flight of stairs) all by himself. He didn't bang up the walls or doors or anything. Very efficient and friendly. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I had them come in and remove an old sofa, loveseat, and lounge chair.

I got through to a "live" person" the first time I called, received a quick overview of pricing, set a firm price, and scheduled for the next day. The haulers very personable as well as professional.
Description of Work: Hauled away two large items with two men and no extra charges for the heavy weight of the items as some other haulers do. They set a firm price on the phone and took away the items the next day. No hassles.

It went well overall. I had to clean up some items from my own town house and wanted them removed from my property. My mother's town house, which was put up for sale, was also full of items that I could not use but perhaps some one else could. So I collected everything together, putting nonbreakables in big plastic bags and packing the glassware more carefully so as not to break anything. Then I chose to use the Big Deal from Angie's list to have everything hauled from my home, and sure took a load off my mind after it was done.
Description of Work: I had packed up at least two boxes containing glassware cushioned in bubble wrap and tissue paper and told the drive about this. He put these boxes in the van with him. He had an open back to the truck and was able to fit in several large bags of items that are either usable by people who are in need or recyclable. He was on time, pleasant and considerate.

It went well. I would use Junk Happens again.
Description of Work: I called Junk Happens when it came up as a special on Angie's List. They were very professional on the phone and explained what would happen. The only reason I gave the price as a "C" is because the original special was $89.00 for 1/4 of a truck load. However, I have no idea what 1/4 of a truck would hold. So apparently I went over my 1/4 truck load -- so that was an additional price. Also, there was an additional price for tires (which I was told about). Otherwise, they were prompt and took away all my "junk". I would use them again in the future.

It took them a little while to respond to the the Big Deal coupon purchase, but once they contacted me it was simple and easy to schedule a pickup. When I called to schedule the pickup they asked about the juck I was planning on having hauled. They told me at that time the projection TV would be an extra charge. They called ahead on the day of pickup and asked if they could come earlier than scheduled since their preceding appointment was closer than the dispatcher had anticipated. Since it was okay with me to come early it worked out well, however, I don't know what would have happened if I had told them that they needed to come at the scheduled time
Description of Work: They arrived and picked up my junk as promised. No problems with some of my larger stuff. They did charge an extra $20 for a projection TV (which they told me about when I scheduled the pickup).

EXCEPTIONAL service provider! I love that the company is locally owned. Better yet, they don't put the junk collected in landfills, but instead partner with organizations to re-use and recycle as much material as possible. Best of all, the team I worked with - Chris in the office, Josh and Bob doing the actual collection - were fantastic. We used them twice in the process of getting our home ready for sale. We appreciated the way they operate: They do a free, on-site estimate of the hauling cost, and, assuming, the client is comfortable with the estimate, haul the stuff away on the spot. I found them very cost-efficient. I had very specific requirements for the second time we used them - they needed to collect a full truck-load of stuff first thing in the morning so we could close on the house they were hauling junk out of at 10 a.m.! Josh and Bob were prompt, cheerful, calm and matter-of-fact -- all of which was very much appreciated, since my husband and I were operating more on the cranky-and-hysterical end of the scale. They took care of everything we asked for, and even swept out the garage for us before leaving. Do yourself a favor and hire Junk Happens whenever you need anything hauled away. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Description of Work: They collected 10 years' worth of accumulated stuff that we chose not to haul from Minnesota to Iowa - including a king-size mattress, box springs, and frame; freestanding basketball stand/net; old lumber; and too much other stuff to mention.

When we contracted for the service the only fees we were told about was the $89.00 hauling fee. When we scheduled the service we were told that there were additional fees for hauling and disposing of some types of junk. We did not have a "full load" and the good deal we thought we were getting was not such a good deal. In all fairness, the driver who picked up our junk was very professional and courteous. I notice the ad was changed to include additional fees for certain types of junk. I understand the additional fees but was not happy it was not specified in the original ad and we ended up payiing for something we had not expected when we bought the service.
Description of Work: We contracted with Junk Happens to pick up and dispose of extra TVs, microwaves, other electronic devices and general junk. We paid the fee specified in the ad. We recently called and scheduled the service. They arrived on time, loaded the junk and took it away. Very accomidating and professional driver.

I called to schedule the service, and was given a 1 hour time range and a quote. They arrived a few minutes early, and offered to remove their shoes before walking into the house to remove the sleeper sofa. The price was exactly the amount quoted, and the job was completed quickly and efficiently.

They were scheduled to be there between 8:30 and 9. They showed up at 8:40 and were ready to load. After all of the things that I had to have moved were loaded, I asked if there was enough room in the quote I was given to take an old roll of carpet and there was no problem with it. I was charged exactly what was quoted. I feel that by having everything in the garage and ready to go, and having received a quote over the phone (I knew what I wanted to spend, and made loading as easy as I could) they really pushed the "half a truck full" price as far as possible. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I had an old bedroom set, dining room set, a couch and some end tables that I needed to get out of my garage. A garage stall + worth of furniture. They hauled away all this plus some miscellaneous items (old roll of carpet, dorm fridge)

They did a great job fitting in as much as possible in the truck. I can't say enough how much their work was appreciated. They came on time and loaded up efficiently. They even sweeped the garage. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and probably will. I'm telling all my friends about Junk Happens.
Description of Work: Junk Happens was very responsive. They answered my inquiry immediately and kept in touch as we planned the date and time. Very friendly and understanding as well. It was quite a large job of varying things, large and small, that needed to be hauled away.

We initially got an immediate response to our inquiry regarding removing the hot tub. I was told that the electrical connections needed to be disconnected before the hot tub could be removed. He explained the process and told me to contact them after the electrical connnections were disconnected. We had an electrician come and unhook all the electrical connections. I sent 3 e-mails to the company and left a voice mail. There was no response from the company. We did not use them.

Everyone, from the initial call to the last bag of sheetrock was loaded, was very nice and professional. I especially like that this company keeps as much as they can out of landfills.
Description of Work: Two nice young men came in their truck and loaded up all of our construction debris. They even cleaned up the dirt and nails on the driveway. The cost ended up being more than I had expected, though I was sure we had more cubic feet than the deal included. I almost didn't care, though, since they loaded all of it on the truck and were so friendly in the process. Would highly recommend!
