They were nice, organized and on time and everything like that, but I needed a piano removed and I called to ask if they did that and they said yes they do, so I figured it would be fine and they would have the right tools/skills/experience to do it properly. Unfortunately they scratched my wood floor and concrete walkway on their way out. I understand a piano is heavy, but I expected them to have handled this without damaging my property. I am sure they are great for any other types of garbage and junk removal, but I would not recommend them for a piano removal. read more

This location also operates as a U-Haul dealer. I needed to rent a truck, but I was unable to reserve one because I did not know when my driver would be available. The U-Haul website indicated you can just walk into a dealer and rent a truck if they have one available. I went to the counter and explained what I needed. The man there told me that I had to make a reservation because it was "faster." I explained that I am visually impaired and cannot make a reservation on my phone because I cannot see it well enough. He told me he did not want to help me. When I explained to my brother what the situation was, the man told me to leave because I was "talking behind his back." If I could give this place and its employees zero stars, I would. read more

We recently used them again and had the same great experience. Quick, easy, and reasonably priced, these folks are my go-to when I need anything hauled away. read more

If they service your area, hire Good Garbage! Bill and Jenny were fabulous to work with from the start: answering my initial questions, setting the date/time frame, calling before arrival and very efficient with hauling out my stuff into their truck. This was an easy and a great experience. I highly recommend Good Garbage and if needed, will use them again. Thank you!!! read more

Wonderful experience: fun couple, good prices, showed up in the window of time they said they would, emptied my garage in a few satisfying minutes. Thank you, goodgarbagepdx.com! read more

We used them at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden to get rid of some accumulated junk. It's a small outfit, but they have a big truck and it performs all the necessary functions and then some. The price is excellent; the service is a ten; and they work far harder at reuse and recycle than any other hauler I've come across. I would use them again - 100% read more

I can't recommend Christian and his crew enough. I called him about removing a large pile of scrap metal and he came out the next day to provide a quote. It was quite reasonable, so we proceeded with the removal. He also was willing to meet my neighbor and provide a quote for her scrap metal pile as well. Very professional and efficient. I highly recommend them and would use their services again for any future garbage or scrap removal needs. read more

Cut my tongue out I've been caught out Like a giant Junkernaut Happy hours, April showers On a quest to clean you out Trash is crashing my quadcopter No space left to hover about Marie Kondo, Piccolo Mondo I'll be back to joy in time When they pick up They'll recycle When they pick up I'll motorcycle Don't take offense Minimalists Good Garbage Godliness And up you grow read more

This team was hired by my Estate Sale coordinator and arrived the day after the sale to remove unsaleable items as well as items to discard. They were absolutely a blessing as the young men went up into the attic to remove heavy items I was unable to get down. They walked around the property to pick up any possible items missed or to be discarded. Just an outstanding job and the men were cheerful and helpful in additional ways. I've moved out of the area but if I were still in Portland and needed disposal of "junk" I would call them first. read more

I've used Good Garbage twice now to help clean out my garage, and bother times they've been on time and super helpful.

IMPRESSED! They hauled off my old fridge & stove a day after I left them a voicemail. They also gave me a better rate for service compared to estimates from other junk removal businesses in the area. BONUS: One of the guys even gave me the heads up on a bomb taco joint in the neighborhood. read more

If you are looking for responsible and friendly junk removal at a fair price look no further than these fine folk! My husband and I recently had them come out and they took away a huge assortment of items: trash, recycling and also a few nicer items that we just don't have the time or energy to resell/find homes for. It's so nice knowing that we can just have some super friendly and professional people come and help us! Three cheers for good garbage. Take advantage of spending extra time at home making your space the best it can be and call good garbage if that includes needing some help clearing out. Thanks again good garbage! I will be back! read more

Good Garbage is awesome. I've used them several times now to haul stuff away, from demo/construction for a couple projects to a big clean up as I'm now moving. Everyone I've met has been really friendly and never judges me for my messes Dealing with this stuff is usually stressful but they make it stress free. I'm going to keep calling Good Garbage when I need anything hauled away, big or small. read more

This is the first time having used any junk hauling service. I loved these guys. They call before coming. They are reasonable. They love their job. Mr. Mohawk, as he is known, seriously should do stand up comedy. Just as much as they are hilarious, they are professional and efficient too. read more

These guys are awesome! They were able to give us a quote and come pick everything up within the same day we contacted them.

Really nice folks. I think their cause and how the company came about is a wonderful story. The crew that helped me out were super nice, helpful, and goofy. It was fun and fast! I think it was a bit pricey though. read more

Special shout out to these guys for helping out the community! Some rude person dumped a wet heavy rug on my neighbors lawn several days ago. He was having a hard time dealing with it. While Good Garbage were doing a job at my other neighbors house I asked and they helped clear it away for us. Another reason to support the local businesses!! Also, last summer we had a large pile of junk and cabinets from cleaning out our garage. We called Good Garbage, they came by and gave us a quote. I had immediate hesitation because of the price, but with research I realized how normal the pricing is. They hauled it all away and swept up the debris from the bottom of the pile. Done! read more

Great service and very fast response. I would recommend sending them pictures of what you need removed. It made the quote and final price exactly the same. They showed up promptly and we very friendly. read more

Very happy with these guys! They had great follow through, they arrived when they said they would for both the initial bid and the hauling it all away. Very hard workers, just two guys hauling a lot of furniture down a flight of stairs without a single complaint. Nice guys. read more

Thank you , thank you. So quick and easy. Responded very fast so I could plan thier visit to haul off some stuff. Moving from a three bedroom to a one bedroom is a challenge. Ater doing some cost research I found that Good Garbage was in my neighborhod and was just as affordable as the rest. The guys who came for my old television that weighted a ton, asked if there was anything else I wanted them to take, so I just kept handing them junk. Nice guys, very helpful. Not sketchy. On time. Very professional. read more

I needed help and these guys came to the rescue. Prices were fair and they were very kind and responsive.

I had a queen size mattress that needed to be disposed of. I called this morning and Cole was able to fit me in today. Thank you for a speedy pick up and a reasonable price. Other places wanted double. read more

Great experience with Good Garbage today! I just moved to a new place, and had a ton of stuff left in my old place that I wanted to get rid of (and very little time to take care of it). Lots of random household items like bedding, books, lamps, CDs, cookware, etc., perfectly donatable stuff, and a small pile of throw-away stuff. By myself, it would have taken several hours and carloads to clear out. Josiah and Brian showed up on time, and were able to clear out in less than 30 minutes! Such a relief to not have to manage the load by myself, and to know that they are going to take care of donatables for me too. I originally booked the job with a large national chain, because that was all I knew. So glad I decided to take the time to research other options, and wound up finding these guys (and canceling my other reservation). Not only were they a breeze to work with, their prices are significantly lower than 1-800-something-something. I learned a good life lesson, too. Don't let so much "stuff" collect in your life that you have to pay someone to remove it! :) That probably does not bode well for their business though... Thanks guys! read more

These guys are freaking awesome. Buddy was great at getting back to me quickly and setting up a time that worked with my schedule. Everything from the initial contact to the pick up was super smooth and easy. I filled up almost a truckload and they were in and out in 30 minutes. Totally exceeded my expectations and I would recommend to anyone! read more

Good Garbage - Junk Removal & Hauling Near Me - Portland, Oregon

See all

The guys that arrived to collect my bulky trash were on time, polite, and professional. Price was a bit steep for what I had to throw away, the volume certainly wasn't an 1/8th of the truck, but trying to throw out bulky items in Portland is pretty frustrating so this was definitely easier and I prefer to support local outfits. My one complaint? They hold onto your check. Even after calling and asking "please cash my check" and being told it will be done the next day, it still takes forever. In fact, as I write this review, it's been 10 days and counting since I wrote the check. Six days since I called and asked them to cash it. Some people do strictly online banking and having that sum of money just hanging out there is very frustrating. So, if you need trash pick up, I recommend these guys. But pay them in cash. Otherwise they will not only take away your trash, but also hold your bank account hostage for an indefinite amount of time. read more

Awesome service, I believe Dan was the one that helped coordinate the pickup and hauled the load away. Not only was the quote reasonable but Good Garbage squeezed me into their already tight schedule to help get this stuff out of my apartment. Again I appreciate their service and if I need something hauled away again I will definitely use Good Garbage. Anthony. read more

Super nice crew and very affordable!

Super helpful and friendly crew. I was pulling a random weed before paying, and one of the guys stopped to double-check it wasn't a stray piece of wood they had left behind. Very thorough!!! read more

Awesome in every way--fast, thorough, nice, prompt, reasonably priced, good communication. I'm totally stoked. Don't wait to get rid of the junk. read more

Great service, they arrived at scheduled time and removed everything very quickly. If we need this service again we will be contacting them! Thank you read more

I loved these guys! I wasn't expecting 3 punks with liberty spikes and neither was my kitty and he them know (hiss), but they took it in stride and were super quick, super cordial and super well-priced. read more

These guys screwed me. I asked them to come out last week and take a look at my dirt, make sure they could deal with it, get their truck into my driveway, and give me a quote. We talked, arranged a deal and they said they would return. Upon returning, they tripled their quote and made up a bunch of excuses, saying the pile grew by more then double, etc.. Total BS. Very displeased as this was combined with another job that was supposed to start immediately after. These guys suck! I mean seriously, it took 2 yards of gravel to fill the space, and so the dirt couldn't have been more than twice that, but they said I had 10yrds of dirt. read more

Good Garbage just came out and hauled away a junk pile on the side of my house. These guys were professional, nice, and quick. I even had a brief philosophical conversation with Dan, so that was an added bonus. I definitely recommend supporting this local, family owned business! read more

Very quick, thorough and professional service, a company I would highly recommend to my neighbors. When I called they offered to come the next day, but I asked them to wait so I could get my "going to the dump" pile ready. The crew came precisely within the window of time promised, and called first to indicate that they were on their way. The price seemed reasonable to me, as I had a higher limit in mind. I like the way they will recycle what can be recycled, re-sell things that might be of value to someone if not presently to me, and take only the real junk to the dump. I'll call them again as I continue with my downsizing project, or if someone dumps a mattress on my parking strip. read more

These guys are the best! The prices are fair, they were very prompt on arriving, made quick work of the mess I gave them, and were extremely professional. Best of all, they're a local business so you're money stays in Portland. I will use them again! read more

Really easy to work with. They gave me a time, bid the job and came when we scheduled. The crew was very polite and hard working. I could tell they are used to fighting heavy bags..of trash. One guy didn't even mind the smell. They really helped bring my yard Alive. They may drop a pun or two but won't drop the ball. Thanks guys read more

Wow, what a great experience! They were professional on the phone, giving me a good price estimate (which ended up matching the final quote quite closely) and delivery window. They showed up promptly (they actually asked if it'd be all right to show up half an hour early!) and took just a few minutes to clear out 3 years worth of junk from my garage. The workers were friendly and personable. I couldn't have asked for better service! read more

Fair price, professional service. We had a decent amount of combined trash and recycling that they hauled away way faster than I thought they'd be able to. They also give a no-obligation quote before hauling. Definitely would use them again for junk removal. read more

These guys might be good when they show up but good luck getting a standing commitment. I was on a tight deadline moving across the country, was told they could come Monday but that they would meet with me Saturday to see what I had. Turns out the left hand didn't talk to the right hand and Monday was not scheduled. They told me they were booked through the next few weeks which really left me in a bind. The guy on the phone didn't seem to care one iota. read more

I had a great experience with Good Garbage. Called to get a sectional couch removed- the pickup was scheduled next-day. They arrived within their time window and gave a courtesy call when they were 10 min out. Movers were friendly and they ended up helping out with some old lumber as well. Will definitely use them in the future. read more
