The team showed up around half an hour after I called and moved out all the large items from our apartment. 95% of it was donated. John and Alex literally saved the day for our family! Thank you 🙏

I highly recommend 1-800-GOT-JUNK and these two gentlemen who are dynamos! I am so pleased that the items will be recycled, donated, or otherwise disposed of responsibly. Thank you again for a PHENOMENAL job!

Quick, kind, friendly service. I highly recommend the service to anyone looking to unload a bunch of stuff. They are also affiliated with social service programs and will donate things that may be useful to others. That is a rewarding feeling.
