Miguel and Josh showed up ahead of schedule, worked quickly and efficiently, were friendly, and didnt over-charge me. I've used this service about 3 or 4 times and am always satisfied. Great work, guys. read more

Timely service and reasonable price. Miguel Ramirez handled the task very well. Thank you

I understand that we were over weight, and that's in the terms and conditions, that said, the price we were quoted and the price we were given were vastly different. As soon as they picked up they called and yelled, YELLED, at my wife for being overweight, and not reading the terms and conditions. I read them. I decided it was worth the extra to get rid of the extra stuff, just charge us extra, don't yell at my wife. So unprofessional. We paid no problem, but I will never do business with this company again, and I suggest that anyone reading this do the same read more

Excellent service (very rare these days). I was told the "window" was 9 to 11. Esteban contacted me to say they were running a little late!! Got here at 10! Perfect. Sam and Esteban got the truck loaded up promptly and cleaned up afterward. It was great to see it all go and to get my yard back thanks to Junk King, Esteban and Sam! read more

Josh and Don helped me with my junk removal Professional and Efficient. Fast and Easy process

Junk King of Alameda is Awesome!!! My dad used to be in construction, so he kept a lot of raw materials, but since he retired; its just been sitting around the house. My parents are much older and Junk King of Alameda was super patient, worked with them, and allowed my parents to be hands off. I would highly recommend them.!! Thank you Junk King of Alameda. read more

Picked up a television. Got a discount. Great. They gave me a two hour pick up window and kept to that two hours. No problems with pickup. Will use again if I have anything heavy to move. read more

Please, please, please use these guys!!! Esteban and San at Junk King took EXCELLENT care of us and made my move so easy. The rates were great and I would never use anyone else again. Thank you!! read more

Josh and Simone were great. We had a queen size bed and mattress which was already a challenge when we moved in but they were able to get it out without any problem. They also moved out the old living room sofa, hall table and old record cabinet. They were fast and professional on a very hot day. The price quoted was more than fair and well worth it. Definitely a good value on top of a good job. AK read more

Wonderful fellas, quick, respectful and on time. I will use them again and they had fair open prices

Hey. I want to give a big shout out to Josh and Sam. They really came thru for us on 6/17. Due to whatever happened with our scheduled time slot (things happen), these 2 alternate guys made it happen this day because we were reaching PNR. AND despite their already heavy load, they did it. This returning customer, despite the JK schedule, was very happy Team JoshSam got the job done. Shay and I appreciate you both. Del read more

I had a couple companies come out for a free estimate. I preferred the way the people at Junk King worked with me. The prices were comparable but the kindness and attentiveness was a big factor for me. They showed up on time and busted their butts to get the junk taken away. I also prefer to support smaller businesses, especially nowadays. I will use them again for the next haul away job after our next phase is complete. read more

Stay away! Or decide when you read the terms sheet if you want to do business with these folks. Gas fee is $45 required, 1/2 load is a full load and nothing but a headache from the franchise owner. FRANCHISES SUCK! go with one of the locals folks at Home Depot instead. read more

Super un-thrilled with our experience using Junk King. Would not recommend. We needed help hauling away some old things we had taking up unnecessary space in the garage. I worked pretty hard for two days, bagging most things up and placing the garbage bags neatly outside to make it as easy as possible for someone to haul them away. We called Junk Kings and they said they were available to pickup on the day we needed them to. They explained that the average cost is pretty low and that a FULL truck of junk would cost $788 to haul - and for reference, they said a truck would be hard to fill - Great! We knew there was NO WAY that we would fill up an entire truck. Plus, I had already put in effort to bag things up. We figured we'd only pay about $150 - $250 MAX. Boy, were we wrong. When they arrived, we were quoted $700 to haul our things away!! Keep in mind that it would cost $788 to fill an ENTIRE* truck, but there was no possible way that our items would fill even half of a truck on their own. During small talk, both employees had already mentioned that they had made three pickups before arriving at my home, and they hadn't dropped off that junk yet. To me, that's makes it pretty clear that my junk wouldn't take up $700 out of $788 worth of space in their truck.. We told them that we thought $700 was outrageous and way out of our price range. That's when the driver made us a "deal" that he'd only charge us $450 but we'd have to give both him and the assistant a 'generous tip'. This felt uncomfortable but after going back and forth for a while and thinking about a driveway full of junk that just needed to go - we decided to bite the bullet and pay the $450 + tip. Honestly, even that price was a rip off and I still feel super uneasy about it. So overall, while I can appreciate someone hustling for a tip, I feel that this was super unprofessional of him to do. Does Junk King know their employees negotiate the cost like this? Was $700 really the price he should have quoted me and was $450 a fair price to negotiate down to, or were we still overcharged? Who knows. What I do know though, is that we're super disappointed in the service/company and would not consider using them again, nor would we recommend them. read more

This company felt like a shake down. They knew we had a deadline to move items off the sidewalk and took advantage of us,. They pushed us to pay cash and it seemed shady. I wouldn't use the again. read more

They are reasonably priced, quick and efficient. I had Joshua and San pick up my load and they could not have been more professional, efficient and hard working. read more

Quick response time, was able to get our garage cleared out the same day. Very friendly as well.

Sucks it is horrible it is expensive they scream at you and they are really really rude

We're moving after almost 50 years in Newark. Obviously there was a huge pile of "stuff", metal, wood, BBQ, racks, electronics, just about everything you could imagine after saving that length of time. We also warned them about a large piano located on the second floor that had to go as well, down narrow stairs. They showed up on-time and as luck would have it, the piano movers were here trying to figure out how to get the piano down the stairs. The piano movers said they couldn't do it but the Junk Kings guys said we can help and talked the movers into trying it. They were successful and the piano went to a good home without even leaving a mark on a wall. I can't say enough about how great these guys were. If you have junk, don't take it to the landfill yourself, simply call them and just like that, it's gone. A very pleased customer, thank you Junk Kings read more

Driver Lucky GET a 5 star but Krishna gets no star for 1 before I booked I called to get a price estimate and was told pricing was from $420 UP TO $580 for a full dump, plus that is also on the website and it states "NO HIDDEN FEES". Driver picks up the dumpster and payment was made of ~$640 but later Im getting harassed and threatened by Krishna about an exceeded weight limit charge. I stated that I was going to pay later but I'm at work stop harassing me but he kept calling and texting saying if I don't pay he's going to return the junk in the morning that was dumped in the dumpster basically.. Horrible a** customer service.. read more

Jennifer is so responsive and i got what i need in short period of time.

I needed to empty out my storage unit. Set up an appointment via Yelp was easy and got a confirmation right away. Saturday came and I needed some more time to clean it out. The chat system was easy and got a phone call from the driver with a new ETA. About 10min before they arrived they called me for a check in. They came, gave an estimate and got the job done within less than 10min. Great communication and honesty is key for me. The driver and his colleague were very honest, respectful of social distancing and made this process very easy. HIGHLY recommended! read more

I rarely write reviews but feel I need to share my experience so that others do not make the same mistake. I booked an appointment with Junk King for yesterday, late in the day (3-5pm) because I was spending the morning and afternoon cleaning out my parents' basement and attic. I received a confirmation and reminder the day before. They never showed (or called to say they were not coming) and did not respond to texts or pick up the phone after 5. I had blocked my car in with boxes etc so after waiting two hours, I had to move all the junk to go home. I called this morning, and the customer service representative said "I see that it was cancelled by the crew. They did not provide an explanation. Do you want to reschedule for today?" No apology at all. No discount offered. Unbelievable. Do note book with this company! read more

Worked with Junk King to remove some old furniture from our home. While I personally didn't talk to people on the phone to set up the appointment, I worked with the employees who came to haul the stuff. Joshua and Steve were amazing to work with. Prompt, respectful, very kind, kept their masks on the whole time, and were very clear with how the process of removal and payment would be. Happy to have worked with them, and looking forward to hopefully working with them again. read more

Totally recommend Junk King!! Great Customer Service communication, emailed/text and boom had an appointment. If you were not happy with the quote, you could just send them away. Our guys were Awesome and were from Junk King Fremont!! They arrived early gave us a fair price that we agreed on. It took only a 1/2 hour to load all our junk from the 2nd floor and haul it away. Very polite and super friendly!! If we were not moving out of state I would always use their service again!! Thank you for doing such a great job!! read more

HIGHLY recommend Junk King Alameda!! They were fantastic to work with. Very professional, polite, and QUICK! They helped us tear down our old cubes in our office space, took a bunch of pallets, and were so good to work with the whole time! The price didn't change from what they quoted me. If you need to get rid of junk - CALL JUNK KING!! read more

They called and confirmed with me if its ok to come before appointed time (great!) and picked up all the junk lying in my garage. They were professionals and did all the work in less than 15 mins. They are very efficient and courteous. The price was great for the one day turn around from booking to removal. Overall - 5 stars! read more

Robert and Marco arrived in the 2 hour window specified, and were careful and competent. Robert was particularly helpful with the extra furniture I added to the original estimate. Very timely, great value. I would highly recommend them. read more

Showed up on time. Kept updated with eta. Emailed estimate prior to coming. Price was as quoted. In and out without any hassle. Will call again if needed. read more

I had a mattress pick up from Junk King today. Great customer service from Quincy and Junior! Very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend their service! read more

We quoted so many junk removal companies and this company was the best on quotes and service! We had another company quoting us for $2,100 but Junk King cut that in half for us! Not only were they prompt at giving a quote but they hauled everything in three hours! Our backyard was an embarrassing mess and now it looks more like a yard! Tip them well, these guys were so nice t! They deserve it! read more

I contacted this company to take away some junk in our backyard because we did not have a truck and honestly I did not want to have to deal with all the bugs back there. Anyway called the Junk Kings for an estimate, my mother showed them everything that she wanted them to get rid of and they said it was going to be $659 dollars. We agreed and set up a date. Unfortunately, my mother and me both had to work the day they were supposed to come, so we could not supervise. My grandmother was there to let them in the back. They took all the lightest items and according to my grandmother, they did not fill the truck to its potential. They ended up leaving behind a bunch of stuff that they agreed to take and if we wanted them to take the rest it was going to be over $1,000 instead of the original agreed upon price. We ended up renting a pickup truck and taking the rest of the stuff (majority) to the dumps. All in all, it cost us $150 (Rental fees and dumping fees) and some hard work to take what the junk kings should have taken. Wish we would have just rented a truck and did it ourselves in the first place. They really rip you off if they can. Very unsatisfied customer. read more

Ron, Pablo and team arrived on time and quickly negotiated a price and were gone with a truck full in 15 minutes. FANTASTIC! In fact, Honda of El Cerrito was so impressed that we already have another pickup scheduled! Thanks Junk King Fremont. read more

My wife and I noticed their trucks on our walks around the neighborhood, so they were the first ones to come to mind when I took down our old 12' x 8' storage shed. There were a TON of nails and screws, wood paneling/planks/etc of every size, weight, rotted, painted, etc. Called the number listed here Saturday night, told them I found them on yelp and on my walks and scheduled some one to come out to give us a free quote first thing Monday morning. Monday morning came and they called at 7:50am saying they would be at our house at 8am. Sure enough, they arrived right on the dot!!! They walked around the mound of my demolished storage shed, gave me a quote, asked me where I found them, told them about yelp, got a $30 discount, and we agreed on a price! They ended up coming by my house later in the day to pick up everything, swept up my driveway, and there's no trace of my mess left behind! Yes, "junk" hauling is a little expensive, but it was worth it for me. I'm surprised they didn't get stabbed by one of the 1000000x nails that were sticking out! read more

They got the job done. I hired these guys to move some furniture out of an apartment. They arrived late due to a routing snafu, and they definitely should have called earlier to let me know. Other than that, I was impressed. The furniture was challenging to move because the doorway is unusually narrow and the hall leading from the living room to the front door is a cubist nightmare. Consequently, the job took much more time and effort than they probably anticipated, but they did not raise the cost they quoted over the phone. They just went to work and got the job done. They also cleaned up after themselves when they were done. read more

Called Junk King on Monday morning to clear my backyard full of construction debris. By Monday afternoon, the backyard was cleared and so was my garage full of cardboard boxes. This guys were on-time, professional, quick, and actually ended up doing the job for less than what they quoted. Those guys did in two hours what would have taken me weeks, not to mention countless trips to the dump, to complete. They came in way above my expectations. No hesitation in recommending them for any haul-away needs. These guys were great. read more

The driver called me before they come. They come on time and priced it very reasonable/competitive (compared with other bids).

These guys are great! I would definitely use them again. They arrived on time and took all of my household waste from all the construction that took place during the reconstruction of my new home. It's very easy to setup an appointment online and they came out to my residence the very next day. Once again I appreciate their service and would definitely use them for future needs. read more

They came by the same day and cleared our backyard of a truck load of stuff. The eta were professional, timely and decently priced.

Called them in the morning to get rid of old furniture. They arrived at correct time as they indicated and took everything out. Thanks to Brook and Junior!! read more
