Did the job, but super expensive ($640) for less than 45 minutes work to junk some stuff.

Junk King way over charges for work they claim they can't be bid ahead of time. A terrible business model. I was blatantly lied to about the estimate process for removal of a hot tub. I booked a hot tub removal online and was confused when the pricing was not up front as promised. I called the phone number given and reached a call center in California that stated the estimate could only be given in person due to the pricing being calculated by volume. The crew of 2 showed up 3 days later (a day later than promised). They stated that they have a firm $650 if removing the hot tub in one piece and $750 for demolition and removal. By that time, as expected, they have you pretty desperate to get the project done. They needed to wait for 2 other trucks and 3 other guys to show up before they could load the hot tub. I felt bad for the crew who have to take the brunt of the disappointment in the company and told them so. I also tipped the crew well as they worked hard and did a good job. The communication concerning timing from the local team was good. read more

Today was muggy, but thankfully Junk King handled the heavy lifting for my house "stuff". After living here since 2007, and having personally dealt with my parents' estates, I'm committed to downsizing now. My kids won't inherit a house full of 'stuff.' My next home will have only a few furniture pieces and special items. I'm going to count on Junk King when I am ready for the final clear-out to see the home. read more

I had to get everything removed from an apt for a move out at the last minute. The crew was respectful and professional. They cleaned everything out promptly and did an excellent job. I highly recommend them. read more

I called and received a quote over the phone of $148 to move three items( couch, small chair and end table) less then 10 miles. The required an in home estimate to verify price. When they came they quoted me $468. I refused their service. read more

We used Junk King to clear out my aunt's assisted living apartment in Chanhassen. It was easy to schedule an appointment for the following Saturday, and the crew called us about 20 minutes before their arrival. We had everything lined up to be taken out of her apartment to the loading dock and into their truck. They took a bedframe, box spring, foam mattress, wheelchair, walker, tall boy dresser, electric cables and cords, and a recliner. They gave us an estimate which was a bit higher than the first estimate because we had to pays recycling fee for the box spring. Great crew to work with. It was worth paying for the half truck space because we didn't have to find places that would accept donations and then physically deliver these items to those charities. I would rate this service as a 5 service. read more

I had used Junk King in Houston and they were great- even so- I think they are all independent so when I contacted the Mpls. one I didn't know what to expect. Two guys show up (Adam and Noah)-polite, nice, patient (even in the summer heat) cleared out the apartment in no time. They were great. We are happy. Thanks guys. I would definitely give them a call. read more

Great work! I had a big, messy project - they were fast, had great communication and were super friendly. I really appreciate all their hard work and would absolutely use junk king again. Again Junk King helped me with another huge, really messy hoarding project. The guys worked so hard and really quick. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work. read more

So this is a bait and switch operation. You call the number and get a call center rep who gives you a quote over the phone. Next, the crew shows up and then gives you a different price. In my case, it was literally double. So there you are having to make a decision right in the moment when you need them to haul your junk away. Don't use these clowns. The two crew guys that showed up were perfectly professional and polite. Took the stuff for what the quote was for after the rolling of the eyes and a "oh, this happens all the time" song and dance. Do not use Junk King. read more

Just had Ed and his crew remove a massive freezer from my basement. Three men. Three hours. One Sawsall. It cost me 300.00, but it was worth it. There was no way I was going to get it out by myself so I'm glad I found them. They said they had never seen a freezer like this. They really worked hard to remove it. Each of them were very professional and they cleaned up the place before they left. I would recommend them to anyone that needs junk removed. read more

I had some old furniture to get rid of, and after some shopping around - chose Junk King. They responded to my email request right away and I was charged exactly what I was quoted, which was less than everyone else. The guys were on time, friendly and efficient. Thank you! read more

I had a garage full of absolute junk, that I had no idea how to get rid of. I had thought about hiring a dumpster from Craigslist, and in my search I happened upon Junk King. It's really easy to hire this company, and I found the process from start to finish exceeded my expectations. This company is locally owned, and is a franchise, so you get the best of both worlds. You can keep it "local", while enjoying the support of a large company. They have an online scheduling system that gives you a small discount for scheduling through the browser. There is also a handy chat session that can be started if you have any questions. I had a question about the cost compared to the size of my garage, and they gave a very accurate estimate with no secrecy or wild guestimate. One of the nice things offered is a free estimate on-site. There is no obligation to use them, even when they drive to your place. If it is too expensive for you, you can tell them no. I scheduled my service for a Saturday morning at 9-11am. I was called by the crew about 20 minutes prior to arrival at 9:10. They showed up looking happy and motivated. The lead of the crew looked at my pile of junk, and and estimated it would take 3/4 of a truck, and gave me a quote that matched what I was told in the chat. It was a flat quote, so I could count on it. As soon as I had agreed, the crew backed in the truck and went right to work. I was impressed at the postive attitude and great teamwork that was on display. They grabbed every piece of junk from that garage, no matter if it was covered in dust, or whatever else had gotten on it in the time it was in there. Each member took a position on the line and made it happen quick and efficiently. I asked what they do with the junk, and they explained it is sorted and either donated, or recycled at the incinerator and turned into energy. I can support that. Would I hire these guys again to haul away my junk? Absolutely. If you're looking for a painless experience that won't empty your wallet...look here. read more

Awesome service and a huge load off my mind. Moving alone with a large property was a stressfiul event. The employees were kind and so efficient! Very affordable. Would highly recommen! read more

Not so good, in fact terrible. I called ahead to have a treadmill removed from our basement. On the phone we were told $99.00 Today they showed up and said $179.00. I wasn't happy about the price hike and asked why they wouldn't honor the quote and was told "I ain't taking that out for $99.00." I wasn't happy about that but agreed to 179.00. Well, the guys couldn't figure out how to get it up from the basement. I asked them to leave. I called COLLEGE HUNKS HAULIN - collegehunkshaulingjunk.com They gave me an honest quote on the phone ($155.00) sent 2 guys over got the treadmill out in less then 10 minutes. No problem. read more

Called and they came that day. Was looking to donate but no one else was picking up. Cleaned out the entire garage in 20 minutes.

I had a rental property that was left trashed. Junk king was reasonable, professional and the two guys worked hard and were very friendly! Would use again for sure! read more

First time I have used this company and I was very happy. They had great communication before the pickup, they were on time and courteous, and were in and out in like 10 minutes. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again, John read more

I have to give this business 5 stars due to the extreeme communication. They responded to my need immediately and schedualed an appointment next day...called to let me know they were on the way and then emailed me a quote. A followup call was made to me. This company is extreemly professional and on the ball! read more

I hired Junk King to get rid of "stuff" in an unfinished basement--stuff that had accumulated from a home and an office over 20 years. The two young men arrived on time and dug in. They were respectful, attentive to my questions and directions, and extremely efficient. They loaded 1 1/2 trucks in 2 hours at a very reasonable cost. I will be using them again as I clear my home in preparation for sale and a move across country. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. K. I. in St. Paul read more

Prompt, efficient, professional, careful and friendly. Thank you!

Great instant estimate fast efficient and clean. Nice guys as well. Estimate was accurate. Don't be naive and believe you will get a great deal be realistic. Trucks are not huge. And it's based on how much truck to fill. It is a fair price for what they do verse the extra hassle it would require me to do it myself. You are paying a convenience charge for this service. That's the whole point read more

Hot tub removed, great price! Awesome same day service. My to do list just lost an item. Thanks!!

Junk King is wonderful! When we decided to book them, they had lots of open time slots in our area, and we were happy to support a local company. They called halfway through the two hour window with a twenty minute notice to say they were coming. We had a mattress, bed frame, broken tv and some other odds and ends. The two guys who came were friendly and efficient. We will definitely use this service again. Thank you for helping us declutter our apartment! read more

These guys were VERY professional and showed up to haul! They made short work of a pile of debris and junk! Worth every cent as we had a deadline to be off of the property! read more

House full of junk from my uncle's estate. Junk King came on time, gave a reasonable estimate, showed up on time to do the job with lots of help and did a great job. Can't say enough good about them. Would hire them every time. I had never met them before and found them on the internet. read more

I really appreciate the hard work these guys did to remove our very large hot tub. Price was very fair. Thanks Ed Fogarty. You have a very nice crew. read more

Junk King provided good service and I would use them again. The on line estimator tool is very helpful and helped me to organize exactly what I wanted removed. I received a follow-up call after submitting an on line scheduling request. I pulled all of the items for disposal from storage so that the crew could work as easily and efficiently as possible. As expected the crew called prior to arrival, reviewed the items for removal and gave an estimate. One thing that was unexpected was an extra $25 charge for removal of a 20" television. This extra charge was not listed on the website, so to avoid wasting your time I recommend that you confirm charges for removal of appliances and electronics prior to Junk King's visit. The crew did a good job and quickly removed all of the items. They were polite and professional. Junk King does a good job at requesting feedback (online survey). I shared feedback about the extra charge for removal of the television and was delighted to receive a call from the owner who resolved the issue immediately. This exceeded my expectations! Junk King wants others to promote their business and this act alone is the reason why I would use Junk King again. I wrote this review myself and hope that the information is helpful to others. read more

These guys were great. Fast and careful. We had them remove a hot tub and some fencing. It took them less then an hour. Great job and great value. read more

The guys that came were awesome. They even swept the area up when they were done. They were very nice and respectful and did the work quickly and efficiently. read more

I have used Junk King in Los Angeles and now St. Paul. Both teams were friendly, professional and very efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

We hired Ed & his team to remove some items prior to moving out of state. His team was polite, on time & very reasonably priced. Perfect customer service - thank you! read more

Best group of guys we have had do work for the house. Nice, considerate, careful, strong and thorough. Very pleased with all the heavy items they had to haul, did a fine job and would hire again any time. They did their work efficiently, I think very cost effective in terms of having 4 strong men hauling 11/2 hours. And they cleaned up anything that needed it at the end. Thanks again!!! read more

Felt a bit of a shakedown. Never received a return email with quote or confirmation. 30 min prior to my requested time frame I received a call from Dave who was confirming they were on their way! Wow, Dave , how do you know where I live since I have not heard from your company since I sent a booking inquiry 3 days ago? That's ok , but how much to pick up my chair and love seat? Oh, $150 ! Sorry to expensive. But I get $30 off that but still charge tax! Still too steep , I can pack that up in a rental truck for $19.95. Was hoping to pay under $100 but will check with The owner. No call back , so I called after 45 minutes, I call back Dave. Sorry, your email had 2 .com's after so we were confused and could not confirm a price prior to arrival. But you had my phone number? This seems a disorganized way of running a business and being very coy about a price and then determining my stuff was not worth your effort. read more
