About us

On demand, same day service. We are a locally owned and operated, family run business. We will pick up just about anything that is not considered hazardous, such as: garbage, recycling, appliances, furniture, yard waste, electronics, concrete, brick, dirt, wood, metal, construction/demolition waste, etc. Busby is a full-service junk removal company, meaning that we not only load and haul your junk away for disposal – we also provide all the necessary labor to remove and dismantle whatever it is you need taken away, from wherever it currently sits. We have around a 60% diversion rate for general waste and follow BuiltGreen guidelines for recycling construction waste. We are readily available for regular renovation and construction debris pick-ups so you can keep your site looking pristine. We are also a certified collector with the state electronic waste recycling program called E-cycle Washington. Besides hauling we can demolish hot tubs, sheds, boats, and small structures safely and efficiently. Pricing is based on the volume of the truck that you fill up with some additional surcharges on things like paint, freon units, fluorescent lights, railroad ties, pianos and tires as well as a separate rate of $120 per cubic yard for heavy, dense material such as concrete/dirt. Our crew members provide no obligation, up front pricing on site so you always know what to expect before we start loading your junk items into our truck. Our focus is on customer service and local sustainability, no job is too big or too small! Call Busby for all your junk removal needs.

We have used them twice now. Both times they were more than punctual and professional. They were respectful, clean, straightforward, and worked super fast. One thing that made a huge difference was that they were able to give a quick, but accurate estimate and were available in fairly short order (same day and next day service). It was also preferable to other similar services because we could actually reach a local person rather than going through a website for scheduling and price estimate. We will definately use them again.
Description of Work: They removed all kinds of junk and garbage including a couple really large televisions (one non-functioning console - huge), as well as demo junk from a bathroom remodel (toilet, broken vanity).

They arrived on time and loaded everything up by themselves without any supervision. It only took about 30 mionutes to load half a truck load. And they gave me my 10%off too.

they were spot on the estimate (slightly under). Work was efficient and for those earth-friendly folks, they did a great job of sorting the various recyclables from the trash.
Description of Work: Had to have a rental house cleaned out post-eviction. Needless to say, it was a disgusting mess from top to bottom (and side to side)! Previous tenants were pack rats and took nothing with them. After much Internet searching and reviewing of prices (online), I went with Busby (thanks to AL ratings). Called to schedule appt...phone answered promptly and appt made for a couple days later. I had to call back next day to reschedule; no problem they said and rescheduled for me. Crew of two guys showed up within 5 minutes of appt time; were very polite and professional. A bid was provided and though higher than I had anticipated, by the end of the 2nd day,

I had a mixture of recyclables and trash that needed to be hauled away, but the sticking point has been a gun safe that needed to be taken away. I contacted Busby and they stated they would be able to take away the safe and other items on the same day. The haulers actually arrived early as traffic was lighter than expected. They gave me a reasonable estimate when they arrived, hauled the safe out of the garage and cleaned up all the "stuff" collected in the carport and even swept up afterwards. They were quick, cheerful and friendly. I would definitely use them again!
Description of Work: Move and haul away 400+ pound gun safe out of garage. Haul away recyclables (mostly cardboard and yard waste) and trash (old stereo cabinet, styrofoam packing material and boxes) from carport.

A 2 man crew came out. They were running behind, but called to let us know and arrived at the adjusted time. One cut down the structure while the other loaded the truck with the other assorted 'junk'. They worked quickly. Our job was a full truck load. We have also had them remove an old hot tub, dog run, and deck. Have always done a fast, and clean job. Well worth the money!
Description of Work: We had the Busby cut down and remove an old Rainbow play structure. We also had some old particle board furniture, old blinds cardboard, styrofoam, tree branches and lumber scraps removed.

This company provided a top notch experience from first contact to finally driving away with all my junk in their truck. My initial email sent from the Angie's List site was answered promptly and thoroughly, and follow-up emails were professional and all my questions were answered. They arrived earlier than my appointment, after calling first to ask if it would be all right. A very reasonable estimate was provided after actually seeing all my junk; this was very close to the emailed approximate estimate, especially considering I found more stuff to haul away after my first email! They hauled the junk quickly, were clean and super polite, and I got a 10% discount for using Angie's List. Quick as a wink, all my old stuff was out of the house, into their truck and gone. I highly recommend this company to anybody needing a haul-away service. They are professional and you will be extremely happy! I'm truly glad I used this company.
Description of Work: Busby Junk Removal hauled away couch, several computer monitors, a huge old television, 24" TV, two smaller TV's, dog beds, many bags of trash, old clothes, small tables, chair, two reel mowers, barbeque, two old patio umbrellas and more.

All went very well. The two men who removed the furniture were friendly and professional and creative in figuring out how to get the furniture out of the apartment. They were very efficient and careful with items in the apartment. All done within 30 minutes or so. I will definitely use this company again when I have more junk to be hauled away. Price is very reasonable.
Description of Work: Removed some old furniture from my apartment. Required planning because apartment is on the second floor and one of the items (a sleeper sofa) was very heavy.

I called Saturday morning to see if I could get someone to come the same day. Even though they were doing a recycling show in Bellevue, they said they could have someone out to my house by 4 or 5pm. Based on my description of the job, they gave a ballpark estimate of $95-350 depending on whether it would be 1/4 truck, or 1/2 truck. I was going to a lunch date with friends, so I called to verify when they might be out. They said it would probably be closer to 4 or 4:30. When I was driving back from lunch, around 3pm, I received a phone call saying they were nearby and wondered if they could come earlier. I was happy to have them come earlier and said, "Sure!". As soon as I got home, they pulled up. The team was 2 nice young men. They did a walk-around and said it looked more like half a truck than a quarter truck, so it would probably be around $350. It only took them an hour to load everything. I could see that the truck was packed tight and it was a good half-truck full. It came to $355 minus the 10% Angie's List discount, so the total was $331. I couldn't be happier. They came when they said, they estimated correctly and the debris was gone in an hour!
Description of Work: They removed old lumber and yard debris from around my shed.

I shopped around and read many reviews on Angie's List before choosing a company. This company had the best and most recent reviews, is local and family owned, and had competitive pricing. I called first to ask a couple of questions and a real person answered and I felt comfortable enough with their answers to go ahead and book. I booked online to get the 10. off and the process was quick and painless. Since I booked online and about a month in advance, I called to confirm that they were actually coming and again the call was answered immediately and the person I spoke with was informed and professional. On the day of service, the company showed up on time TO THE MINUTE!!! I showed the guys what needed to be hauled and they gave me an estimate and discussed what my best options would be for saving money if I had more than one full load (which I knew I did). We decided on what they would take in the initial load (as this was right at the end of the business day and the local dumps close in the evening). They managed to fit a lot more in the truck than I expected and with three guys working at top speed they had it loaded in no time! The few items that were salvageable they set aside and asked me about. They were very easy to work with and very personable! There were no hidden charges when it came time to pay. I will definitely be using them for my next job (which I get an automatic 10% off of just by being a repeat customer).
Description of Work: Gave me an estimate, loaded, hauled, and disposed of an entire carport full of unusable stuff plus a huge amount of bagged garbage.

We called Busby to remove the hot tub after another junk removal company came out and said they couldn't do the work. Chris and Joel from Busby were excellent. They called to let us know they were going to be about 20 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, which was great. Then they gave us an estimate, which we agreed to, and they got to work. The hot tub was about 25 years old and had been broken for awhile. It was also built into the deck, but they carefully removed it and all the junk built around it underneath. They warned me that they may have to remove a couple deck boards to get it out, but didn't end up needing to. I'm very satisfied with the job they did, and I would definitely use them again.

We could not be more pleased... we had purchased a new couch and it was scheduled to arrive in 2 days. Called Busby mid-morning and they were able to come out and take care of the removal of our old couch and rugs that same afternoon! They were courteous on the phone and beat their estimated arrival time by several hours! They even moved our treadmill to a new area for us. Excellent and quick service! Would definitely recommend to others!

They are fantastic. They came out and gave a free estimate. We liked the estimate and they took the stuff right then. They were in and out in 15 minutes. It was worth our time and money to go with them and not rent a truck and take it to the dump ourselves. They even loaded the truck.

They were excellent, remaining in contact, arriving early and handling the circumstances very professionally.
Description of Work: I phoned Busby Junk Removal early afternoon and they sent a crew the same day - within a matter of hours as we were rushed to complete the work - to give a free estimate. Due to circumstances having nothing to do with Busby, my family was unable to use their services, but I would definitely call them again. They were incredibly responsive, prompt, and professional. Craig, the owner, was very understanding and runs a very good crew. If you have junk, call Busby to take it away.

They called when they were about 15 minutes from my home to let me know they were on the way and would arrive withing 15 minutes. They first walked the various locations in the yard, the house and the garage to get clear on which specific items I wanted them to remove and dispose of and then quickly went about collecting the items and depositing them in their truck. When they were finished, they asked me if there was anythinbg that I wanted removed that they had not yet collected. They had not missed a thing nor had they collected anything that I did not want taken. They then proceeded to sweep the entire area around the truck to remove any leaves, dirt, paper scraps that may have been dropped as they were loading items into the truck. I then paid them and oof they went. I accounted for a little over half their load, so I received a break on the usual load cost, which they explained to me when they got there. The service was no-hassle and the two young men who did the work were professional, courteous, and energentic. The whole pick-up took only a little over 1 hour and then everything was whisked away in their truck. I would hire this company again. They were terrific!
