Had a schedule phone interview with Paul one of the associates for junk Kings in Columbus Ohio. Said he would call me around 11:00 or 12:00 and never received a phone call back. Called him twice back never got a answer. Junk Kings in Columbus Ohio has no respect for their community, and it's very sad to see you in 2026! read more

Josh and John did an exemplary job in clearing out out three bedroom apartment. Such big and small work both on a very hot day. One and half hours, done. Amazing and so friendly. Thank you so much read more

The Guys showed up when they said they would and did more than expected, Bravo!!!! These guys bring their work efforts to the job and it shows, could not have asked for harder workers. Thanks guys, 5 stars!!!!! read more

Very responsive. Next day service. On time. Easy removal and payment. Highly recommend.

Rarely do reviews but - the worst experience from a personal standpoint. Took things from our property that weren't asked to be taken, awful communication, poor customer service, and most importantly... thief's. Also left a mess around the house and even outside of the house. Please don't waste your time with this company and call somebody else. The owner was also absolutely rude and horrible with the issues and was no help at all! Please don't waste your time. read more

I called them to haul away some old retainer wall bricks and stone edgers from the front of my house. They responded in about 10 minutes after I requested an estimate on Yelp to set up a time to come out and give me the estimate. They told me they could come out the same day between 3-5pm. They called me about 2:45 to advise they were running a little behind which was fine. Don still showed up before 5pm and gave me a price that I felt was too high. After some negotiating they brought the price down to $250 which was still a little higher than I wanted to pay but, I was ok with it because the other quotes I got were in the same ball park. Don and Silas (I believe was the other guy's name) showed up the next morning 15 minutes earlier than they said which was awesome, and within 15-20 minutes had everything loaded up and hauled away. They were very nice and professional and if I ever need to have anything else hauled away, I'll make sure to give them the job. Thanks guys! read more

When looking for a mini dumpster rental I liked the fact the I could do both trash and yard waste in the same container since I was cleaning out old landscaping and overgrowth. The delivery and pick up was quick and easy, and the drivers polite. My two problems were I was told that the drop off would be between 12-6 and the driver would call when he was on his way. The drivers didn't call and showed up after 6. I was told the pick up would be between 12-5. Again no call. At 5:30 I contacted Junk King because no one had shown up and was told that the driver was supposed to call me to update me on the ETA, never called. I called back 40 minutes later and was told that the driver was currently on his way to me. I still never received a call from the driver. At 7pm, 2 hours late, the driver finally showed up. Since punctuality is majorly important to me, and I had to cancel an appointment because they were late I had to drop my rating. Had the driver bothered to call, and they had shown up at either end within the drop off/pick up windows the rating might have been better. read more

Friendly, fast and efficient. I used this service to clean out a garage full of building materials left by the previous home owners. Stephanie and Don came out earlier than expected (they called first to check that was ok) and had everything cleared out and in the truck in about 15 minutes. This was a great experience and I would not hesitate to use them again should the need arise. read more

Easy to schedule. I called and the guy on the phone was really nice and super fast. Called to tell me they could come by earlier than scheduled. Came early, which was nice, and it totally worked for us. Staff made their estimate pretty quickly after taking a look around. The staff told me it would be a bit expensive prior to giving their final estimate. I appreciated that. Price wasn't overly crazy. Especially regarding how much stuff they took. Took the time to clean up bits and pieces at the end. Friendly crew. 10/10 would hire again. They we're quick and pleasant. read more

I scheduled to get my old two piece sectional picked up with Junk King after scheduling it online through the Yelp messenger app to shake hands on a quote. They didn't come out as the cheapest but after being informed of that, the rep didn't just match the lowest quote I got, they beat it by a decent margin. Now that is going for the business! They also scheduled a pickup *that weekend* and arrived promptly at the earliest part of the time-window I was given. The crew was courteous and kind. The only bummer was that their credit card reader was broken so I had to blow the dust and cobwebs off my checkbook - but the price, I'll let it slide. Highly recommended! Will use again as I renovate my living room further. read more

What a rip off!!! Way overcharged. These guys charged me $318 to haul off a small pile of cardboard and few garbage bags. This was barely enough garbage for a pick up truck. They busted a bag when throwing up in truck and it spilled all over my driveway and they left the spill for me to clean up. I have an injured back and had to drag my hose to my driveway and clean it myself. What a disgrace to humanity!!!! Do not use this service...they deserve negative stars! read more

I used the Junk King to clean out a property that I purchased. Joe and Dillon did an awesome job. They were quick and professional! Thanks again for your help! read more

Very high prices, when I talk to the woman on the phone she was very disrespectful. And for now on I'm only doing business with small business read more

They came and got the job done very fast! All I had to do was show them what was going and the got right on it. I'll definitely hire junk king again. read more

the customer service rep on the phone who I spoke with to schedule was very nice. unfortunately during the day of the appointment they scheduled our window from 8-10 am. they did not show up and we received now new estimate on when they would be arriving. I reached out to see if I could get an updated eta and was placed on hold for 10 min until I finally just hung up and called back. spoke with a different rep who said the business owner would be calling me right back with an updated eta. that did not happen either. I was also communicating via text with someone at JunkKing and they were of little help as well. I ended up cancelling the appointment because 1800-got-junk was able to come within an hour and promised they would update me if there were any delays. it's very important to communicate if there are delays, I have to plan accordingly with my job and also my husbands, and plus we moved all of our stuff on the lawn already so it just was a bummer they didn't communicate better with us. 1800-got-junk promptly called us a half hour before they arrived and called upon arrival. that's the type of service I would have liked to receive from junk-king. read more

I am a first-time Junk King customer. 1) They are accommodating: the staff worked around my schedule for the initial visit so they could provide a quote. The team that came by were running quite late given that it was a Saturday, but they kept me updated on their movements. 2) They arrived on time to haul my junk: the team called me half an hour before they got to my house. 3) Courteous and professional: I discovered additional items in my garage that needed to be hauled. The team provided a new estimate and carried the additional items with no fuss. 4) Very efficient: the team worked fast and exercised care while moving larger items to avoid damaging my property. 5) Affordable: they beat the price of a different company I had considered going with. 6) They accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Based on this experience, I would use them again and highly recommend them. read more

Only needed to use junk removal twice but both times it's been Junk King but different cities. Always polite, on time, fair and quick. Can not say enough good about this company. read more

Exceptionally fast response, polite workers, quick and efficient job in getting the work done, and very respectful of keeping surrounding property clean. Just for reference on the job I had them do, a team two were able to remove a hot tub that had been concrete sealed into our new property within 1 hour from arriving early to my door all while it was both raining and cold outside with no noticeable damage done to the surrounding area. Great job! read more

Quick, efficient and professional staff. I called to have some miscellaneous items picked up before closing on my home. They were able to service it the same day and was reasonably priced. Would recommend them. read more

First experience with paying someone to remove perfectly good if not aesthetically unpleasing furniture and it went better than expected. I gathered a few quotes on Yelp and they replied quickly. They weren't the cheapest but they had availability that worked with my schedule. I'm so glad it worked out. When the team arrived they were courteous and easy going. The whole thing took less than 45 minutes. Recommend and I would use again. read more

So late last year I went from being a longtime apartment dweller (and suburbanite) to buying a home in Columbus proper. Which now means I get City of Columbus trash service. Because of the long July 4th weekend and how our pickup schedule was "bumped" by the city, we basically had no trash service for the better part of two weeks. "No problem," I said, "I'll just buy another can at home depot and put all the extra trash in it, then put it on the curb for pickup day!" It turns out the City of Columbus doesn't pick up non-City cans...so that's more than a bit of a problem. After looking around for some options to get rid of this big can of garbage, I called Junk King. They scheduled everything I needed quickly, and took care of loading up and hauling it all away within 24 hours! Everyone was very professional and helpful, and even though it stung a little to have paid for a trash can it turns out I can't use and to have the extra garbage hauled away, I have nothing bad to say about the service I got from them. If I find myself in a similar situation again, they'll be my first call. read more

Extremely quick response and easiest booking experience. Had my items removed the next day and they were right on time and quick!

I have used Junk King multiple times, it is so worth the money to have them just come to your house, you point at what you want them to take and it's done. They are super responsive and super professional, used them again today and they were running behind schedule and called me twice with updates. read more

Easy scheduling; guys called to tell me they were on their way (and within the expected 2-hour service window); fair onsite estimate; efficient and friendly service. Couldn't have been better. read more

They did a terrific job. The guys were on time and quick about removing a garage full of stuff. They respected our property and took care with our junk. The prices were great too and if you book online you save money. Thanks so much ! read more

We had a treadmill removed from our basement. The appointment was easy to schedule and the team was on time, polite and efficient.

I appreciate that they were available on a Saturday, but lots of trouble with the timing quoted. I chose 2-4pm, got a call at 2:07pm and said they were running late. They finally called me at 4:37pm and said they were on their way. They arrived around 5:10pm. They quoted us and got to work, mind you this was not a ton to take away. A rather small hill of loose dirt, rocks, and some big pieces of cement. They began working, we went inside and they started a break. 15 minutes into working they took a break!!!! They were in their truck smoking cigarettes and on their phones. My husband went out around 5:30 and asked how long they would be. I saw them jump up as soon as he opened the door. They were caught, didn't realize we had noticed. We were waiting for them to get it done so we could leave since we had plans. We ended up paying them and they sent pictures once they were done. They did a good job and we weren't paying by the hour, so it's not the end of the world. They were great to talk too and very nice. read more

Hired Junk King to remove remnants of old privacy fence. They damaged the newly repaired fence while removing the remnants. At first the franchise owner, Erik Hughes, denied fault for the damage. Then later admitted to the damage. Without discussing a resolution, he snuck onto the property while we were away at work, performed sloppy repairs and removed parts of the fence his team damaged. We've requested a refund on the original service so that we can undo his repairs and do them correctly and with quality materials. read more

Eric and his crew were great! I had a tenant that was a hoarder- I mean disgusting, garbage everywhere. We priced out renting dumpsters and hiring folks ourselves and it was maybe $100 difference so we went with Junk King and I am so glad we did. We are on the Southside so they will go anywhere in the Columbus metro. Highly recommended. read more

I had Junk King out today to help clear out two basement rooms and my garage. They were AMAZING! There ended up being 4 workers and they went over and above helping me clear out unnecessary stuff in our home. I plan on using them again when I can get rid of even more stuff! Thanks to all who helped me today! read more

I highly recommend the Junk Kings!!! I had a tenant move out of a house & leave a substantial amount of trash and random pieces of furniture. I looked at renting a 30 cubic yard dumpster. I am so glad I checked Yelp because that is where I found Junk Kings. They were not that much more than renting the dumpster & their price included the labor to load it. They have to come out & look at what you have before you can get an actual quote. The crew breaks down everything that they can before putting it in the truck. Which is great because the price is based upon how much of the truck is filled up. Great price & service. Highly recommended! read more

I highly recommend Junk King! They were able to work around my schedule and were at my house within twenty minutes of the call ahead. The drivers were polite, professional, and very respectful of my home and property. Additionally, they recycle or repurpose for the less fortunate everything they can rather than just throw everything away. read more

Great, fast service. They came the day after I called and did a thorough and quick job of hauling away my heaps of yard waste. They even swept up the area after getting all the junk! read more

Junk King was able to come out same day we called. When they arrived gave an estimate and went to work. Glad to have garage back, Thanks.

If you REALLY need something hauled DO NOT call this company!! I've had two appointments and I'm STILL waiting for someone to come out! Today they are two hours late and are still 40 minutes away!! JUNK KING- you've been dethroned!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! The customer service person I spoke to was in California and just wanted to get off the phone. read more

Speedy, polite and so easy to schedule. We needed items removed from our house quickly and they were able to fit us in with short notice. Also many of our items were salvageable and I loved that Junk King would take items to a charity drop or recycle before throwing in a landfill. read more

Hired Junk King to remove a small amount of household trash before listing our home. Truck arrived promptly. Was first quoted an exorbitant rate. Driver came down about 33%, but price was still far too high for the amount of rubbish and in comparison to the other items on the truck. It seems driver has incentive to "rip you off" on the price. Be sure to bargain hard with them, and do not let them overcharge you as they did me. They will come down. read more

Easy to schedule and cheaper than other services. Showed up early with a call. Very friendly, confirmed price, and went right to job. Finished quickly, and even cleaned up. I will use them again. read more
