I've used Junkcat twice and have been super happy both times. Their pricing is fair and they are on time, professional and provide excellent customer service! My garage door broke when they were here and they took time to help me get the door closed - something they didn't have to do. A great group that I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Nick was great! He messaged me just minutes after I messaged and said he could come by super quickly and pick it up. Super straight forward and easy. If you're hesitating, DONT! Call or request a quote and he and his crew (I think Sean was with him?) will roll by ASAP! It was literally less than 7 messages and I got my items picked up soon after. Great prices and easy to work with! Will message next time I need to get rid of larger items! Thank you!! read more

Very reliable, responsive, and professional. I would definitely recommend them for a clean out and hauling. However, if you want your home's useable items such as furniture, dishes, and trinkets donated it's best to give them away yourself. It was heartbreaking to hear my mom's dishes crashing in the garbage bags. Dear Nick and everyone at JunkCat, We were very happy with your work and appreciate all the extra effort that was involved on our job. We highly recommend you. You were extremely professional and we enjoyed working with your team. You guys especially performed a miracle in the garage! read more

I need to get rid of an old refrigerator. It just an taken up room in our kitchen for years. So I requested a quote and it in less than 10mins I got one from Nicholas with a very reasonable price so I scheduled it for Saturday and they gave me a 2hour window (8-10am) Great I text them my address. On Saturday I was woke up early to prep the refrigerator, removed everything out and removed the doors. I realize I didn't give them my cell phone so I texted my cell number and I get a text they just exit my area and will be here in 10mins Truck pulls up and two friendly professional guys greet me. I show them the refrigerator and less than 20mins my old refrigerator is gone Awesome job guys and happy holidays!! read more

They were easy to contact and schedule and arrived on time. We had an opened recliner that wouldn't close, and they were able to haul it out of our 5th floor condo with no problem. Also a very reasonable price. Thank you! read more

Someone left a few pieces of furniture near our mailbox on the sidewalk. I sent an email to JunkCats website, they responded with a price that was very affordable. They came by the following morning when they said they would, loaded all the items, and charged my credit card. I did not even have to step away from my meetings. Always great to have a local service like junk cat! read more

They did a great job hauling a bunch of our garbage and debris away.

Prompt response, matched other bids, came same day, and were careful and courteous throughout the visit. What more can you ask for when it's time to ditch your washer/dryer? read more

Fantastic Experience. Nick was the first to reply for a quote on Yelp and was on site within an hour. Not only did he pick up all the waste from the shed we discussed, but also hauled away garden debris, an old satellite dish and cardboard boxes I had. He cleaned up everything from the yard, pathway and driveway and was on his way. He is an honest, hard working guy and I will definitely call him next time I need anything hauled away. Great job and keep it up! read more

Exceptional. Extremely conscientious and kind. My job was a very big ask for haulers, rather than trained movers. These guys were better than any movers I have ever encountered. Organized, so very careful, clearly smart, communicative. I had heavy furniture and a tight corner with stairs for them to navigate. More than they expected, I think. While they could have left me with a challenge to solve on my own when they saw the issue, they were compassionate and came up with a creative, thoughtful, solution to get the job done. These guys are terrific. read more

Very easy to schedule and one of the lower quotes I received. Arrived on time and professional. Will call again.

Nicholas and Tim are Awesome! Love their quick responsiveness and how punctual they are at our scheduled time. Will def come back again!

I had a couch and a recliner to discard. We have 38 stairs plus a steep ramp from the street up to our house. There are several tight twists and turns on the stairs. Junkcat responded immediately to my call and scheduled a pickup for 2 days. They gave us a 2 hr window, and called 15 minutes before arriving. The truck and the men were very professional. The price was reasonable ($150). Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would use them again if needed. read more

They were very pleasant and offered a fair price to pick up a large item, but we ended up donating it to charity, so we didn't actually use Junkcat. However, we will definitely give them a shout out shoud we need stuff picked up. They were so nice and were willing to work with our schedule. read more

Happy to add another 5 star review for Junkcat! Easy to arrange for pickup, just add a description of what you need hauled away, snap a few pictures, and submit a request. Received a call within minutes and was scheduled for the very next morning. The crew was great - called to let me know when they would arrive, they were friendly and fun and had to deal with navigating a busy street with limited parking, and carrying some items up from the backyard. For any future junk removal needs, I'll be sure to call Junkcat again! read more

I never imagined having my old stuff removed could be so easy. Scheduling was easy, communication was great, the team took out the stuff quickly and managed to work around my other furniture. They took a couch, a box spring, a table, and a pile of random clutter for $200. If you want to take your own stuff to the dump you often have to pay about that much and you have to haul it yourself. Call Junkcat and save yourself the hassle. A great deal and great service. read more

I can see why so many ppl have 5 stars! I woke up TODAY and requested a quote, which they provided for free. I sent pictures of my items and BAM! Just like that, my living room is now clear, a mere few hours later. They came out with masks and gloves and were very respectful. Bonus points for asking about shoes in the house first. It took like 7 minutes from the initial door knock to clearing everything and now I'm freeeee! read more

JunkCat has always been so good to us. They respond to requests within 15-20 minutes and are usually available same day within a couple hours from your request. read more

Here's the deal. Reached out, quick reply. Sent photo and description of stuff, quick quote. Totally reasonable. Promised a time window next day. Sure enough, got call early in window that they were 15 minutes away. Three guys right on time. They quickly loaded junk, processed payment and were on their way. Competent, nice, polite crew. What more could I ask for? Nothing. read more

TL;DR: Five stars- I'll definitely choose Junkcat for my future junk removal needs. I'm in the process of fixing and/or cleaning up some questionable "additions" to my house made by the previous homeowner, and needed to have a bunch of wood, the remains of a busted-up concrete slab, and some miscellaneous metal bits removed after demolition. I requested a quote from Nick on a Saturday afternoon; he got back to me in about ten minutes, and a couple of messages and pictures later, I had a very reasonably-priced quote and a scheduled arrival window for Monday. Super easy and convenient. Nick and a crew member arrived when they said they would (wearing masks and gloves, and having texted me ~15 minutes before arriving to let me know they were on their way), and worked quickly and efficiently to get the demolition debris loaded up. I don't think they were here for more than 20 minutes. I paid with a check; they also accept credit cards (with a 4% transaction fee, which you pay). Your search for junk removal is over- just go with Junkcat. read more

If you need a mess to be hauled away in a fast, efficient and professional manner then call Nick. I was so impressed with their service and would give them ten stars if I could! read more

Great service at a reasonable price. Nick and his assistant were efficient as well as personable. I had a gas grill and miscellaneous items hauled away. They even swept my patio and garage! I will definitely use them again; highly recommended. read more

They were very communicative, responsive, and quick. The price was very reasonable comparing to related local services. The price also did not change when they arrived. They came the next day and was on time and super quick. Thank you!!! read more

Yep, Nick is great. Friendly, professional on time. Great service! I am a Realtor in Berkeley and Nick is now my go to hauler. read more

Thank you Tim and Shawn for hauling my items... I'm a repeat customer and can always rely on their professionalism, courtesy, promptness and of course safety. Highly recommend! read more

This is an overdue review for a really great experience. A while back, my husband and I decided to take on some home demo work ourselves and realized part way through we had way more debris than we would be able to manage--especially since we were hoping to leave on vacation the next afternoon. JunkCat was the first of three companies we called and Nick was the most responsive and organized. He gave me a quote based on photos I sent but when his team showed up that afternoon, the pile had grown. I was so impressed with how they streamlined the cleanup process and got as much as they could out of there. I can't express enough how thoughtful and careful they were. There was still a good amount of debris left and they were booked for the next morning so I ended up calling a few more companies trying to find someone to help. One of the other companies asked me to haul the debris to the end of my driveway for them to pick up, another asked me what other people quoted. It was a struggle. Happily, Nick made a big effort to help us out and managed to fit us in. He made it easy on us every step of the way. I can't recommend Junk Cat enough and would definitely use them again. read more

I've used Junk Cat 3 times and have been super happy with them. Nick and his crew are awesome very personable. Their pricing is fair and they are on time, professional and provide excellent customer service. They cleared out a 3 bedroom house that had 60 years worth of stuff. I can' not say enough good things about them. I will continue to use Junk Cat and I highly recommend them!!!! read more

Very happy we chose Junkcat to remove our washer and dryer. They were punctual and friendly. The job wasn't easy, there were stairs and small spaces, but they were able to take care of the job efficiently and did it in a way that didn't scuff or scratch our walls and floors. read more

Punctual, fast, courteous and affordable. What else can you ask for? Really great guys all around!

Junkcat were very careful of my floors when removing our old sofa, they are very nice people to work with. I will recommend JunkCat to all my friends. I give a 10 out of 10 rating to them. Carlos read more

Thorough, efficient, flexible. The owner Nick was very clear and respectful in his communication with me and with his staff. And I was pleased to find there was a woman on the crew! read more

A few weeks back I used 1800-GotJunk to haul out a load of trash from the driveway and they were ok and got the job done quick, but pretty pricey ($400 for a little over half a truck load, plus they were about 45 minutes late). Immediately after using that service I began noticing JUNKCAT's truck around El Cerrito (where I live) a couple of times and it stuck out to me because we are still renovating and cleaning out years of accumulated junk in our home. My mom asked me to look into hiring Nick for the next round of hauling because he's a local business owner and very active in our community; so I gave him a call today to get a quote. As it turned out, he offered a 10% discount and so for a full truck load it only cost me $315! I also called him around 1pm and he was here before 3pm SAME DAY. Wahoo! He was also very polite and professional. The only constructive criticism I would have is that there was a little random debris that had scattered during hauling that I wish would have been push broom swept back into the remaining pile o' crap but no biggie. I'll definitely be using Nick's service again (instead of the franchise I tried first) within the next week or two to help finish up our junk removal. Thanks Junk Cat! read more

Great communicators, so efficient, fairly priced. Was able to book a same day pickup. Kept us posted on their estimated ETA and notified us that there was a slight unexpected delay. Still arrived within the time they said they would. Would definitely use again! read more

Junket is the best! They have great availability, really fair pricing, and are very careful inside your house. We scheduled pickups both in the suburbs and San Francisco, and both pickups were quickly loaded and they were on their way. They do a lot to keep stuff out of landfills, which we really appreciate. Totally recommend them! read more

Pros * Quick response to initial inquiry *On time * removed a few more items that originally discussed *You can pay by card ( I never have cash) *Professional and kind *10% discount in the month of Jan. Also, JunkCat Supports the El Cerrito and surrounding communities by picking up trash thrown illegally. read more

Gave a fair quote, arrived on time, were very friendly. Removed my junk very quickly for the quoted price and even swept up afterwards. A very positive experience and would definitely use them again. read more

I gave a description and dimensions of the junk needing to be hauled off and they gave a quote through Yelp. The team of two guys showed up on time. They confirmed the quote was accurate and within 1 - 1.5 hours it was all gone. They were courteous and fast, nearly running between the truck and pile. They confirmed exactly what I wanted taken away. This was a great experience and I'm thrilled to have all the construction debris gone. read more

Nick cares deeply about El Cerrito and donates significant time and resources to keep our community clean. His volunteer activities are well documented on Nextdoor. https://nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=72346358 We use JunkCat exclusively for all our junk and debris hauling needs. Highly recommend! read more

Junkcat did an excellent job removing some items from our driveway at a price they quoted in advance. I would definitely use them again!

Nick and Iris were awesome. They came when they said they would. They worked none stop. I don't know what I would have done without them. They even swept up the whole place. I will definitely be using Junk Cat again soon. Thank you Nick and Iris. read more
