Description of Work: They removed several decades of accumulated junk from the basement. It looks pricey but it took one and a half truck loads to complete the job. The guys were very professional and easy to work with. It was the second time I have used their service and I would use them again.

Made the pickup online.The e-mail came less than a sec later with the window to time they would arrive. That morning I received a call that they would be there in 1/2 hour. Time given 8-10 am. To my joy they came in at 7:45. The two gentlemen were great Joe & Jerry. Thanks to 1-800-GOT-Junk

I requested a pick up online and got an appointment the very next day. Two really nice guys in uniforms showed up on time and took away my old TV, which was too heavy for me to carry. According to their website, they recycle old electronics, which I appreciated becuase I didn't want it to just go into a landfill. I got a discount for making my appointment online. The guys were dressed in uniforms and were very friendly and polite; I had no qualms about inviting them into my home. All I had to do was point to my TV and -- voila! -- it was gone! Will be using them agains.

It was fast and efficient. I liked the fact they came out the next morning after I called.
Description of Work: I called on a Monday and arranged a pick up for Tuesday. Friendly on the phone and explained everything. Asked what I had to haul and said my price would probably be between 125 and 250, but that a professional would give me a final price when they came out. I received and email reminder and a call the night before and said they would be out around 8:30 am. I received a call from the driver at 8 and they were at my house at 8:15. My husband and I had moved everything to the basement and garage so it was easy for them to give me an estimate. They were efficient in loading our junk and were finished within half an hour. they took computer adjunct equipment, two microwaves, a lawnmower, and other misc. things. Although the price was higher than I would have liked, I was not surprised. We had four tires, for which there was a $5 a piece charge, but again, they told me that up front.

The team called prior to arriving, were right on schedule with the original time I had requested. Mike and Tom were super friendly, courteous, hard-working and super efficient. I was quoted an estimate for the work BEFORE they started, and it was pretty dead-on. I was amazed that they didn't even use a dolly for the large items. They completed the task in a very timely manner being careful not to knick anything on the way out. I paid with a credit card (they swiped it through a machine at their truck), and got a printed receipt. I also got another handwritten receipt detailing the job. I was concerned before the job if my credit card would be used in one of those old-fashioned credit card machines with a carbon copy, but I was assured by the woman who called the day before to confirm the pickup that it would be safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend 1-800-GOT-JUNK to anyone.
Description of Work: We are doing a complete kitchen remodel. We had three heavy appliances to move (side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, portable dishwasher, and, in addition, a sleeper sofa, chair, a couple of base cabinets, a casement-window air conditioner, and a mattress.

it went great. i'd been sorting into recyclables, trash, and donatables, but, during my confirmation call the day before they came, they told me i didn't even have to do that! so i just started piling the stuff up for them to take. they take care of the rest. i was thrilled!
Description of Work: came and picked up everything i wanted to get out of my house. i've been living with boxes and bags that i haven't opened since a move, then two rounds of renovations; the house was just filthy and chaotic. i spent saturday and sunday purging papers, packaging, and random stuff i didn't want--i'm doing clothing, cds, books, and dvds in a separate round. i arranged my pickup appointment online and got a confirmation call the day before they came (which was just two days later). they showed up a few minutes late, but they were AWESOME. friendly, clean, polite, not scary to let into the house. even nice to my barking dogs and my kitties. i literally had nothing to do but watch. i showed them what needed to go, they estimated how much it would cost (which is based on the amount of space it takes in their truck), and they did the rest. they even brought their own trash bags. i didn't have to carry anything outside, didn't have to sort anything, nada. they did it all! i am so glad i did this and will definitely use this service again!

I went on the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? website and "booked" a time for the crew to come out to my house to haul away the junk. I liked the fact that I could reserve it online (without having to talk on the telephone or wait for someone to answer/call back, etc.) [although, I believe you can telephone them to set an appointment time as well]. I only booked two days in advance and I selected an early Saturday time slot. My house had not been cleaned out in years (i.e., junk in the basement, etc.). I have never had anyone haul away junk before for me (nor have I had the experience for renting a dumpster). But, in any event, I received a call from the local Oakmont office (in Pittsburgh, PA). (My only gripe is that no message was left.) In any event, it was Karen (the contact person listed on Angie's List for the Oakmont location) and she was quite nice when I called her back. She explained to me that I would get a call at 6:30AM the next day directly from one of the guys that would be coming to my place to haul away the junk. She said that they will first give an estimate after looking at everything that needed to be hauled away and that there was an extra charge for tires. She then proceeded to obtain a list from me of the general items that needed to be hauled away. Sure enough, the next morning, I received a call at 6:33AM. It was one of the guys that was going to work at the site. He told me that they would be at my house at about 7:15AM. They were pretty much on time. 4 trucks showed up (ultimately, only 1 1/2 trucks were needed). The guys (I believe there were four, including "Tom" and "Scott") were very courteous, hard working, polite, etc. Fortunately, my job was not the "worst" they had seen and, in any event, they were very happy to do the work. They all wore heavy-duty gloves and picked up the items. They separated out the cardboard items (and these were recycled -- dropped off at the Construction Junction) and the other items. Certain trucks were to take certain things, etc. I was surprised that they did not have any pallets, dolleys, etc. but rather picked things up by hand and put things in large trash bags. (Maybe they could even be more efficient with some of these "tools"?) (But, they were very quick nonetheless.) They could not take away any detergent bottles or bleach bottles because they are not licensed to do so (as they explained). But, that was fine with me (since I could otherwise properly dispose of them). I was afraid that I would have to hire someone to clean up my basement, but they swept the basement fairly clean, too. This was a nice surprise. Near the end of the job, I was told to check everything to make sure everything was good. (Just about everything was in order.) I was told that they would not go over their estimate and they didn't. The "head" guy had written up the bill and it was for 1 1/4 truckloads plus a $15 surcharge ($5 each for 3 tires). (Tires, I guess, are a special item.) I was left a comment card and provided with three coupons for using them in the future (which I will). (One $10 coupon per pickup.) They also told me several times to check all the doors before I leave. I thought this was great because often people assume they've locked up when this really isn't the case. One additional note: while I selected "2.5 hours or more", they alotted for 2.5 hours. The actual job took 2 hours. (I was surprised that they didn't give themselves more of a window since I selected more than 2.5 hours, but I have no real complaints because the job took actually a little less time than I had anticipated.) (I did comparisons with a few other "providers" on Angies List that do junk hauling. I think that the 1800-got-junk? prices are comparable, if not more economical. Plus, I like that these guys do not mind hauling away anything and everything and they don't mind getting their hands dirty...and that they do clean up!)
Description of Work: Hauling of junk (mixture of items including a lot of cardboard, some glass panes, a utility sink, a few pieces of old furniture, and a few odds and ends) and clean-up (they did a thorough job sweeping the basement). I made an online reservation for "2.5 hours or more." I estimated that the amount of junk I had would take up 1 truck (which is about 450 square feet, I believe) [several times larger than what you can fit in a standard pick-up truck...I was told that this is the equivalent of a mini-dumpster]. The job took 2 hours total and 1 1/4 truckloads. (4 trucks showed up initially.)

They called ahead, were right on time, very friendly and honest. They cleaned up after they were done, remembered to give me my online reservation discount, etc. My only complaint is that it is expensive, relative to getting a dumpster (which you can crush down to any volume you want).

GIVEN THAT I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO RENT A DUMPSTER TO GET RID OF ALL THIS STUFF IF I HAD CLEARED IT OUT MYSELF, I PROBABLY SAVED MONEY AND SOMEONE ELSE DID ALL THE BACK-BREAKING WORK. THEY LEFT EVERYTHING NEAT AND CLEAN. THEY HAVE A WEBSITE TO SCHEDULE A TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO SCHEDULE A TIME VERY SOON AND THEY CAME RIGHT ON TIME. THE GUY WAS REALLY NICE AND DIDN'T JUDGE ME FOR THE GARBAGE IN MY BASEMENT!
