They tried to fix things that weren't broken. For HVAC I would get a second opinion for due diligence. Twice they came and said things that weren't broken are broken. read more

Find another junk removal place if you're on a time schedule. They don't even try to accommodate you. Pick up is whatever time they're free on the day you schedule pick up. Also, driver cant drive through neighborhood streets so make sure you ask everyone in the neighborhood to move their vehicle because he doesn't want to risk damages (they drive a truck bigger than the actual container itself, and had to return and get another truck). never going to use this company again. My yard is still full of junk but waiting 3 more days (if I'm lucky) for them to pick up the container. read more

Gave us a quote, recorded it, checked it then refused to honor it because they "made a mistake"

My debris box came on-time and no hassles were had. Everything was as expected and super friendly.

I've dealt with JD Services on occasion for several years and I've never had a problem until now. I recently ordered a 20 yard square bottom box but received a rounded scrap metal box that had huge holes in the bottom and sides but I made the best of it. The cost including hillside delivery and City of Oakland charges was $590. paid with my credit card. Sometime after pickup the bank alerts me of an unauthorized $90 charge from JD. I canceled this charge because my order was paid in full. Days later another attempted unauthorized charge for twice the amount $180. was made by JD, again I canceled and the bank changed my card numbers. After this I get a call from JD asking for more money. I said I paid in full, I've ordered from you before and never had phantom charges after the fact. Wendy said that she was only aware of one charge and "I see in notes that you say you're a repeat customer but this is the first time you've dealt with us". Not correct! I told her that I would communicate in writing because something is wrong! I feel like I've been slighted by an old friend. I've highly recommend JD Services to everyone in my line of work but I won't in the future because policies should be spelled out in advance and clients should not be subjected to unauthorized credit card charges after the fact. read more

Oh man, I wouldn't go with this company. I was warned but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.......boy I was wrong. Here are the list of issues...... (1) They don't give any windows, it will show up any time between 6:30am-8:00pm (2) The gal on the phone didn't tell me that if I don't schedule a pick up of the dump at the time of order then the pick up will be any time between 1-3 weeks after I call it in. (3) All the office assistants pretend to care, but make no mistake......they don't. No matter how nice or authentic they seem over the phone, it is all an act. (4) No manager is ever available and they never call you back (5) They don't come to pick up dump automatically hoping you will forget and they get to charge you $20 per day after the 10th day. (6) I did not get my terms and services agreement until the day they were going to deliver it so you cannot cancel the order with out getting charged 10% because at that point it is too late. Save yourself some headache and pay more for better service, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

This is the worst company ever. They are very dishonest. They stole money from my bank account. Please do not hire them read more

See all

I wish I had read the reviews. We ordered 4 yards of mulch. We received what looked like 2 yards. We called, and they agreed they had sent less but that it was only short 1yard. We ordered an additional yard to finish up our project and were delivered only one more yard, not two but billed for the extra. Our landscaper confirmed we were short 2 yards total. JD hauling said it is what it is. Don't use this company. We didn't save a dime! read more

Ordered 10 yards of base rock and when it arrived and was delivered, it was clear that the baserock was of very poor quality. It was over 50% fine sand/dirt and not much rock. While it does come from their supplier, they clearly have no quality control. They did refund me some money, but not enough to even cover the delivery fee. Now I have 10 yards or extra dirt to deal with and still need real baserock. Would not order from them again. read more

This company was my contractor's choice -I guess for cost reasons. I decided not to write here all the details, but yes their final pick up date is a black hole, unless you ask for another container or pay $125 for "expedite" pick up; which I guess everybody ends up paying, therefore I keep going down on that mysterious waiting list. As a customer, I feel taken advantage of and wonder if there isn't anything I can do. If you ever consider using this company, set at least a pick up date when you sign the contract with them! read more

As a contractor I need services that deliver as promise and these guys did. They were able to get rid of 40cuyds of dirt and concrete and a reasonable rate within 2 days. I will be using them again. read more

Same issue as everyone else. Final pick up.. totally unfair practices. They leave it there for ever or they offer expedite pick up....nice scam. Expedite is also 7-8 days. Leaves such a nasty taste to finish like this, delaying my work because of this little scam they have.... Highly don't recommend them. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how horrific this company is .. they left their dumpster for months . When you call they put you on hold or hang up so they can charge you for more days .. They illegally charged our card 1000 dollars yesterday . Staff is rude and refuses to speak to us . We had charged reversed at bank and plan on small claims court . We have recorded all phone calls so a judge will have the proof along with the other yelp reviews stating they illegally leave their dumpster so they can charge you money .. they left their ghetto shit here and now say we owe them 1000 dollars . They claim all management left anytime you ask for one . They are frauds and there is no way in hell we are allowing them go get away with this . I will spend every waking minute taking these idiots down . Update .. this is hilarious .. they finally came to get the dumpster .. when the guy shows up he tells my husband it isn't even their dumpster!!! Of course it was . They said no company logo on the side . The dumpster was nasty .. graffiti all over . Just gross . We plan on reporting them to the bbb as well as contacting 7 on your side to expose them . read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I've had the worse experience of my life with this people and their customer service. I have ordered dumpsters from them in the past. This latest one, they sent it over a month ago and refuse to come back to pick it up. I asked them to remove it over 2 weeks ago and still don't know when they will come. Today I was told it could be another 15-30 days. This has delayed my project with no end in sight. They did offer "expedited" pickup for a FEE to "jump" me ahead of everyone else in their pick up waiting list. Straight gangster. Don't use them, you are better off going to another company for this type of service. I'm passing the word to all the contractors and home flippers I know and work with and their networks. Maybe they can be a little less busy that way. read more

False advertising, dishonest. They send promotional flyers with offer rent a dumpster get one free, see photo. After calling them to claim it, it turned out it's a lie. You don't get 2nd dumpster free but they apparently give you one 40cy that you can only put 20cy worth of weight. More than that weight will cost extra. There's no deal there, just bunch of bs trying to manipulate people. After calling them out on it, there was nobody to take responsibility or give explanation. I dealt with them before; pickup never on time, angry unprofessional drivers, you never get honest answer when you call them... Just a bad company all around that shouldn't be in business. Do yourself a favor and give your $ to someone else who will show some respect and integrity, something this company knows nothing about. read more

JD Services - Junk Removal & Hauling Near Me - Oakland, California

Frustrating. I had the box delivered on Thursday and it was ready by the end of the day. They say it's a 1-4 business pick up and since they worked this past Saturday I'm at 4 business with no pick up insight. They say it may take another week to pick up the box. So if you order with these guys schedule a pick up and they will get to it when they are near your city. Also, they will not share with you if they have someone nearby and don't know where you are at on the pick up list. They said they have customers who have not been picked up since 10/14 which is 7 business days. Set expectations correctly don't tell customers 1-4 business days and then no perform. Ugh! On the bright side people do pick up the phone. read more

This is the worst dump and hauling company i have used. They realed me in by offering competitive pricing for the box but didn't inform me that their normal Weight limit is quite on the low side and that it would be $80 per ton over! Very nice on the phone but completely misleading. Go with a bigger company they will charge just a flat rate! I got stuck with a hefty $720 bill after I had already paid $330 for the box! Never use them! read more

I called a bunch of places to get quotes. JD Services actually answered the phone and were friendly, so that puts them ahead of half their competitors. Their estimate was the lowest by quite a bit, and in the end they charged me exactly what they quoted. They dropped off and picked up on the pre-arranged days. They lose a star because they didn't tell me what time they were coming to drop it off. They just showed up. Also, they kept sending me emails to e-sign their agreement even after I had signed a physical copy, e-signed a digital copy, and told their website to stop reminding me. read more

I would highly recommend JD Services to anyone! Their prices dominate their competitors and so does their service -- the owner, Joe, is a really great guy who is great to work with and brings a lot of ingenuity to any project/site to expressly meet the client's needs! read more

This is the ONLY hauling company for my family. Their customer service is friendly and helpful. Best of all, they're the most reasonably priced hauling service around. That being said, I suppose it depends on your personality/standards as far as wait times go. If you're willing to be patient, and want an affordable, reliable hauling company, I highly recommend JD Hauling. read more

Please stay away from this business. Very dishonest people, we used three times, and has been overcharge two times for overload. Once you got its debris box, it is on their schedule to pick up whenever they want. We will never use its service again! read more

I HAVE "NO TRUST" in this company because I think they are padding there bills, and this is why. 1. I rented a 22 x 8x8 Dumpster from JD Services that was delivered on Nov. 8, 2018 ... got on it time with graffiti written on it. Now regardless of your political position, "F**k Trump" had been painted on the side in 15 inch letters. That is just Poor business behavior............. but it gets worries. 2. Within 5 days we filled it with green was, DRY wood and brush, to the top and wanted it pick up before the rain added to the weight. They missed two pick up dates and did not get till Dec. 8, 2018. By that time just a little rain fell. 3. They charged my card the flat rate of $645, I was good with that, and though I was done..... NOT. 4. I think it was July 1, 2019 I ordered another big Dumpster. When they checked my account from last time They said I owed $385 more for over weight charges. That did not seem right. That was when I found out they did not weigh the dumpster tell Jan 22, 2019. During that time, from google, it showed it had rained 2 inches in Dec and 3.74 inches in Jan. They said the water would just run thru.... No, some yes, but not all would run out the bottom. That green waste was very dry and would soak in much of that water. Here is who the business works. The ONLY PRODUCT they have to sell is weight. They charge us a price per pound which is higher than what it cost for them per pound to despose of. That is there profit margin and that is fair. BUT here is where the "Trust" comes in, in this process. What should happen is the dumpster should be weighted just before we get it, that is called the "tare weight". When it is picked up, at that time it should be weighed again. That is called the "gross weight". For example if the "tare weight" is 500 lbs. and the "gross weight" 2,700 lbs., you subtract the tare weight of 500 lbs. from the gross weight of 2,700 lbs. and get 2,200 lbs., that is your "net weight" and that is what you paying them to take. Say they charge you 18 cents per pound, then you own them 2,200 lbs. time 18 cents for a total of $396. Then they take your stuff and dispose of it at a cost of 11 cents per pound for a cost of $242, that leaves them with a profit of $154. ALL that is fair as long as they are truthful and that is where the "Trust" comes in. If they lie and lower the "tare" it is more profit for them at the rate of 11 cents per pound. A little lie of 50 lbs per day on each dumpster is only $5.50. If you do that on 20 dumpsters a day, that is $110 per day. They could also add things to your dumpster. Each pound add gives them 7 cents per pound. Just a little lie of 300 lbs. gives them $21 more that you pay. Twenty dumpsters a day gives them $420 per day. Total per day for a little lie is $574 times 20 days per month, is $11,480 times 12 months $137,760. That is a good motivator. For me it had to do with RAIN water. They got the dumpster on Dec. 8, 2018 and did not take it to the dumps tell Jan. 22, 2019. WHY???? .... It would not get lighter during the winter, but it would get heaver and that is more unearned profit AT MY EXPENSE. Just so you know my dumpster was 8ft x 22ft for a total surface area of 176 sq. ft. One sq. ft of water one inch deep weighs a little more the 5lbs. ( 5.202 lbs.). So for every inch of rain times the 176 sq. ft. is 915 lbs. In Dec 2018 the rain fall was 2 inch and for Jan. 2019 - 3.74 inches. Total for the time they had my dumpster 5.74 inches times 915 lbs. per inch of water for a total of 5,257 lbs. of water fell on my dumpster. I know all of it did not stay in the dumpster, but a lot of it did. Telling office manager Raquel all this she said no adjustment would be made. She seemed proud to be do strong about it. I pushed to talk with the owner, Joseph Bernardini, about it with the same above logic..... and he to had the same answer as Raquel. NOPE, I WOULD NOT TRUST THEM TO WEIGH A LOAD FAIRLY...... I think they cheat. In fact just before my phone talk with the owner, they found my old Visa card number from Dec. an ran the $385 charge thru. I was able to tell my bank that it was a "fraud" charge and they have pulled it. I will see it they fight it. For now the lost my business and I use two big dumpsters a year. Just telling you what happen to me.... Sorry this was so long. read more

These people do not know how to run a business. They're so Freaking confused they pick up when they're not supposed to , they don't deliver reliably, and they talk to you with an arrogance like i've never seen before, and yes they are a little cheaper but you get dumpsters with Graffiti all over them and their service is also cheap!! I'd stay far, far away. I run a respectable contracting company and have never encountered a service company such as this. The pictures they put below are a joke! they took pictures from a more reputable company. I have never seen any dumpsters from them that looked that good!!!! read more

All caps because i am shooting out how horrible, awful, rude, disgusting and flat out unprofessional this company is! raquel, the fake manager was the worst!! they kept sending "my" recorded messages, and they said !!!exactly!! what i said i had said!! but they still wanted to charge me, and did charge me a fee that i was !!never!! told about, and when she went back to her "recorded messages" she realized she did not inform me of this fee and proceeded to tell me she'd reimburse the fee...but... will need to charge me another fee for the days we had after our date, even though it was an error on their behalf again! as soon as i good upset and said some choice words, she hung up on me and her poor associate, serena had to inform me that she wasn't "allowed" to talk to me, or give me the supervisors name, the owners name, and so, oh also, raquel just said we are not reimbursing you for the bogus fee charge either!!! what!?!?! who does that?? what kind of company lets their employees act like this!! i am glad they have all of this on a recorded call so the owner can see how rude his employees are to paying customers!! this company deserves 0 stars. they are the absolute scum of the earth to treat people this way, especially when they have a recorded call that backed the customer, and yet they still did nothing to make the situation right. raquel is probably one of the most evil, rude and selfish employee i have ever dealt with on the other side of a business transaction. she gets negative stars!!! my advice- take your business elsewhere~! I guess yelp doesn't let you type in all caps, changed to lower once I posted! just know I was yelling:) lol read more

Not quite sure what's up with all of these 1-star reviews? I have done LOTS of business with JD (ordered at least a dozen boxes in the last year) for my construction sites. They are very competitively priced, Serena the office gal is very helpful and nice over the phone. As long as you call it in and cancel on that day, they don't charge you for the extra days it takes them to pick up your box. I've had a variety of drop-off drivers.. some have been friendlier than others, but I haven't had a problem with any of them. They're the only debris box company I choose to work with. You should choose them too! read more

JD Services are great. Their price was the best. They delivered the boxes when they said they would. I would use them again.

Working with this company has been the most unpleasant experience. They do erroneous charges on your credit card and does not hold themselves accountable for their mistakes. We will never do business with them again nor recommend them to other trades. read more

I have never dealt with such an unethical, unresponsive company with so little regard for customer service. Despite the fact that we've spent nearly $12,000 on their debris boxes during an excavation project at our home, they've often been slow to pick up and exchange boxes and cost us delays on the job. However, their most egregious behavior occurred this week, Our city posted tow-away notices on Tues. 8/22 for street repaving work to begin on Fri. 8/25. We contacted JD Services immediately that day and informed them that the dumpster needed to be picked up before 7:00 am. on Fri. 8/25. They responded by trying to use it as an opportunity to gouge us for more money, They said they couldn't guarantee it would be picked up on time unless we paid an additional $125 (in addition to the $550 we were charged for the dumpster). I declined to pay it because situation was not under our control. It was the City of Berkeley that needed it moved, not us and we gave JD Services as much notice as we had received. It seemed to me if they could expedite the pickup for a bribe, they could arrange to do it within 3 days under the circumstances. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she told me they'd do their best to have it removed before Friday. I called again on Thurs. afternoon when the dumpster was still there and was told the same thing. It didn't happen and the dumpster is now impeding the resurfacing work (see photo). read more

WORST RIP OFF EVER!! DO NOT USE. Last year I had to remove a lot of dirt under my house. I told him I needed at least 10 boxes but that the turn around must be quick so I don't lose time paying the workers. First day showed up 3 hours late! With 5 guys waiting to work I lost money. Turn around bad!! Had to wait again between pick up and drop off. I had to stop they work due to some other issues after 6 boxes. When I got the final bill Joe charged me for 8 boxes. He said he would credit me when I started work again. What?? that is over $1000 Well finally ready to start again and probably will need another 6 boxes, but called Joe to ask about the credit. Earlier in the week he said he would check and get back to me, LIAR. I called several days later and lady answering the phone pulled up my records immediately and said I had no credit, so I asked her to tell Joe to call me back. I called this morning and he was in, but when she asked me what it was about he didn't get on the phone and said he was busy and would call me back. We'll see what he does and if he is true to his word. From the reviews I bet not. Time to call BBB and also a NEWS Channel to expose this joker if he does not give me my two boxes. Will use Redwood Debris instead! read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a company. They can get you the dumpster delivered and youll pay extra fees for weight , but they left it sit there for a week after I called them to pick it up. It took at least 10 (threatening ) phone calls before someone showed up and said they have six hundred dump bins ut only 15 trucks and nine were down with repairs. Dont use them!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

They delivered box quickly but it took a week, 7 days 6 business days after I called to pick up. In addition they billed me more because they said I was over the weight limit - which was not true I loaded it myself, no way it was 4+ tons. Tried to contact by email to discuss but was ignore - so no I would not use them - dishonest and bad service. read more

If you could avoid doing business with this company, do so. They take your money and overcharge you with unnecessary fees. If I could give them zero stars I would. This is probably one of the most unprofessional businesses I've ever dealt with. When I called to place an order for a box and porter potty everything seemed to be fine. The day my box was due to be delivered I called to make sure everything was going as planned, I asked for the time I would get my box, they didn't know. They didn't even have an estimated time. So I asked for them to call me before they deliver it so I can make sure someone is home, they did not. I received a call from Wendy saying the driver is leaving because no one is there to let them in, and that I'm being charged for them having to "come all that way and waste our time" she kept telling me that I should have been more clear and that I should have stated that when I placed my order. How do you get more clear? I asked to receive a call before they get here, how much clearer can one be? And if it was a misunderstanding why didn't anyone call me? So I called back and spoke with a lady named Rachel, she was no help. I asked about my porter potty and she didn't know when I would be getting that either. When the porter potty finally did arrive, it had another company's name on it. So I did some research and apparently they use a company called "Honey Bucket" and rent their services then charged me an arm and a leg for it. They're dishonest and all they care about is taking your money. read more

I called around, and this company had the best prices on all sizes and weights of dumpsters. For example, JD's 20 yard dumpster was $25 cheaper than one company and $58 cheaper than another company. Their weight limit on the 20 yard dumpster, 3 tons, was exactly the same as other companies. They dropped off the dumpster right on schedule, and put it exactly where I asked them to put it. I asked them if I could keep the dumpster longer than the scheduled 7 days, and they said no problem... they let me keep the dumpster for 2 weeks, at no additional charge! read more

Bad company. Stay away! This company fails in terms of accountability and professionalism. Take advantage of yelp and find another hauling company with 4 or more stars. I should have done that before I went with JD hauling. The driver is careless and damaged a significant portion of my property while retrieving the debrix box. The company won't answer back when I ask if they can at least compensate me for some of the damage. I'm calling the Better Business bureau too. read more

HORRIBLE!!! I wish zero stars was an option. I work for a construction company and have made the mistake of using them 3 times. Even though their pricing may seem competitive their lack of customer service does not make up for it and when they show up unannounced and the box can't be removed their $120 delivery fee will price the box as the same as waste management. None of the times did they deliver during their time frames, which by the way is 1-4 business days. They start their routes at 6am which is ludacris because they don't start answering phones until 7am so we don't know when we get our boxes until they're on site. I made it perfectly clear that the only place the boxes fit is in the way by equipment during work hours 7-3pm. I practically begged them to do drop off before or after, just that simple. I was told that was not going to be a problem all 3 times and the most recent time it didn't arrive until 9:30am!!!! I was told they don't know when their drivers will be on our route, that they can only give us a 30 min window. I don't understand how they're in business. They have horrible hours, lack of accountability and no organization skills. You're better off walking to the nearest dump site than waiting for these bozos to pick up your box. You'll be done faster, that's for sure. read more

This is the worst company ever. Their equipment is in horrible condition. They do not pick up when they say they will and they don't care about the customer. Basically, they suck in every category. Use anybody else, you will be glad you did. read more

This place is bad news: Bad drivers, poor work attitude, and the company does not take responsibility for their mistakes passing along extra costs and headaches to the customer. 2 thumbs down from a guy that generates a lot of garbage and does a lot of demolition work. I ordered a 30 yard debris box and 3 refills in the subsequent days. The first driver and the first box they dropped off was fine - the entrance to the building was a little tight but he made it happen with a little extra work. Drivers name was Robbie and I gave him a $40 tip for his troubles. Called the company that night to tell them that the next driver should bring a smaller rig and reverse into the building. The next morning they sent out another driver to swap the full box for the empty box, he showed up in a similar sized truck, took one look at the entrance approach and refused to drive his truck in (the same truck they sent the day before that successfully entered the bldg) and left. They immediately charged me $125 for a rescheduling fee and told me this truck was bigger than the first one! Same morning they send another driver with a smaller truck to come, mind you this rig is even smaller than the first rig that made it into the building on day one. The driver of this smaller truck is full of attitude, complaints, and a scowl on his face. He is making demands that we empty the parking lot so he can fit his truck in. We comply and despite our request not to, he leaves the empty debris box in the street claiming he doesn't have room to unload it next to the full one he's about to pick up. What a joke, I'm not a truck driver but I could have done the job better and it was obvious that both boxes would fit. So he's tarping the full box, complaining the whole way and throwing nasty looks at me and my crew. He loads the full box, drives it out into the street, drops it next to the empty box, loads the empty box, and drives back into our bldg. While the empty box was in the street some knuckleheads drove by and dumped a bunch of car bumpers into it! Only in east oakland... We take a picture of the box their driver left unattended and it looked about 1/3 full to me. We load it the rest of the way and I call the company to ask for 1/3 price break on the box. They offer me $50 off and tell me they fired that driver because it's not the first time he's messed up. I get on the phone with the manager to tell her to cancel the rest of my order because I'm done wasting my time handholding their inept drivers. She tells me they're going to charge me an additional cancellation fee on top of the $125 for the truck that wouldn't enter. In the end I filled up about 50 cubic yards of garbage, got charged for 60, and an additional $125. This place sucks! read more

"A minimum of 50 feet of straight line access and approximately 21 feet in height is required. Customer is responsible to ensure there is enough space available for delivery and pickup. Additional delivery trip/pickup trip /re-spots for any reason will be charged $125/ea"-- JD Services Service agreement I recently ordered a dumpster from JD Services, I asked if they could deliver it to my driveway, the representative said yes. So put my order in and received a service agreement in an email. I foolishly e-signed it without reading it from my phone. They said it would be delivered the next day. The next morning I got a call unexpectedly at 6:35 AM (I was in the shower getting ready for work) that they were here and ready to deliver and that I needed to move some cars.... I went outside and the dumpster was on a much larger than expected truck, I was immediately skeptical that they would be able to back in. The driver got out and explained that I would have to move the two cars in front of my house and at least one car across the street for him to be able to make the delivery. Since none of the cars were mine I was screwed. I realize that it's my own fault for not reading the contract carefully, but I really think they should have said you needed 50 feet from the start of your drive way so I would have known to measure that. I wouldn't have placed the order otherwise. I live on a typical residential street in Oakland, from my experience I would guess that they couldn't deliver to the vast majority of residences in the East Bay. They will show up, charge you for the trip and then not refund the dumpster fee. Bottom line: If you live in an urban neighborhood, and there are cars that you can't move any where near your house, they wont be able to drop off or pick up your dumpster and you will be charged $125 read more
