From our brief Yelp conversations, Tommy sounds like a great guy but trying to do business with him has been extremely frustrating. 1st appointment: no show, no communication. His guys had tire problems but I was never notified until I reached out. 2nd appointment: no show, no call. A traffic-related incident, which again I had to reach out to him in order to learn about it. 3rd appointment: no show, no communication. After the previous failed attempts, I requested his earliest availability. Again, he did not show up and this time failed to legibly communicate the reason. I've given up on trying to enlist his services. read more

Tommy and the Junkster crew is GREAT! My job relocated me and I had to move fairly quickly. Called Junkster and they were able to squeeze me in on a short's notice. Most impressed with how they cleared the junk out of my garage. The price was great. They arrived 15 minutes early and finished on time! Everyone was professional and courteous. Highly recommend Junkster. read more

Great crew True Professionals They were quick and lowest quote. I would highly recommend them read more

Very pleasantly surprised with these guys! I contacted three companies and sent a detailed description/picture of a small junk pile I needed hauled off. One company had a minimum $95 charge, the other quoted me $75, and Junkster agreed to do it for $50 that very same afternoon. I contacted them via their website/email and their responses were extremely prompt (within 20 minutes or so). At the last minute I remembered I also had a small carpet cleaner I wanted to get rid of, and they said that wouldn't change the price. Very nice of them! They were very quick to remove the junk I needed gone, and they let me pay with a credit card right at my own door. They also mentioned you didn't need to be home to pay, that they could email an invoice. The two guys that came were polite and professional. I would definitely use them again. read more

I found them on Craigslist, but they had a solid website, too, so I checked them out. I needed to take away the old washer and move the new washer from the garage to the second floor. I also wanted to get rid of an old TV and monitor. They offered the lowest rates and they came the same day. They exceeded my expectations in every way. They arrived on time. They disconnected the old washer and tested the new one to make sure it worked. They didn't hit the walls even on the staircase. They were polite and professional in every way. They recycle. If you have large appliances to get rid of and don't want to move them yourself, I highly recommend this company. read more

Needed a 60" rear-projection TV removed from my 2nd floor. They removed it professionally without banging the wall, unlike the people who moved it in. Thank you very much. Price was competitive. Almost half vs. what other companies charge. They accept Square and Venmo for payment. They also were able to come sooner than they originally quoted, due to a cancellation. I corresponded with them entirely over Yelp, no phone call needed at all. I can safely recommend this company. read more

I had contacted several entities about removing some post construction debris from my home in Austin. One wanted $900-$1300 based on photos I had sent, description and dimension of the debris. Arrrgh, too rich for my budget ! The other two were based on their schedule which was what I would call "Island Time" or we'll get to it when it's convenient for us. I called Junkster Hauling & Recycling via Yelp. They responded quickly and based on my photo's, etc. gave me A quote of $500. Woo hoo! So we set up a day and time. About 15 minutes before they were scheduled to arrive they said that they would be 2 hours late as they were running behind. Good business practice; if you can't make it on time, let the customer know! About an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived. They surveyed the task, confirmed what needed hauling off, backed the trailer up and started loading it. They filled a 16'x4'x4' trailer in less than an hour. I was very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism ! Kudo's to Tommy, April and another gentleman; whose name I didn't catch. I'll be calling them in the future for another haul I'll be needing done. read more

I had a huge pile of brush, bamboo and other year debris I needed to get rid of. Called them at 4pm, they came out next day at 2pm with a 16 ft trailer. on time, professional and friendly. Removed everything in no time (they had a crew of four) and actually raked up some leaves that I was gonna take care of on my own, but they said it was no problem. price was exactly as expected/ qouted. I'm bookmarking this listing so I know who to call if I need junk hauled off again read more

Prompt, Friendly and Economical. I needed to haul off a fridge once it was loaded and the gent left, I noticed that I needed to dispose of a gas grill. I called and he doubled back to pick it up. I would definitely use them again. read more

What a disappointment! The last two times I use these guys they were awesome. This time I texted on Saturday a photo of my brush and I never got a response. When I sent another picture on Sunday, I was quoted a ridiculously high price. I I'll be looking elsewhere for my hauling service. read more

I had Junkster out yesterday to haul away some old fencing and other debris. I had called around to a few other companies and gotten quotes, Junkster's quote came in under any of those quotes. After giving me their price Junkster said if anyone else came in less than them that they would beat it. Tommy arrived on time and removed everything quickly. Would definitely use them again. read more

These guys were awesome!! I'm moving for the first time in more than 10 years and had a bunch of junk to get rid of. Stuff to donate. Flood damaged stuff. The works. They arrived and had my stuff cleared out in about 15 minutes!! (Think nearly a carport full). They were about $200 less than the other guys and were professional and courteous. I HIGHLY recommend this company! Oh ... they accept cards via paypal if you don't have your checkbook handy. Now ... if only the movers I hired were as good. Dang. read more

Quick response for a very reasonable quote. They were on time and quick to get the job done. I will use them again and recommend them to friends. read more

Called Junkster to haul off a small amount of construction debris. When I called them I told them it was less than a pickup truck load, and they quoted me a price of $75 on the phone. Then they showed up, and to my amazement they said a "pickup truck" is only as high as the top of the bed of a truck, which is 1.5 feet. Since a couple things I had were a little taller than that, they bait-and-switched me saying it would count as "two pickups", so $150. Even using their "top-of-bed" sizing, a standard pickup bed is 8'x5.33'x1.5' and equals about 64 cubic feet. My pile was a few pieces of wall paneling (large but flat), two countertops with sinks (taller than their 1.5 ft limit), and two small vanities (they were already broken down to just wood scraps), plus 3 30 gallon (4 cubic foot) trash bags with sheetrock scraps and debris. As far as total space consumed, my pile was probably less than 40 cubic feet (5'x4'x2' not counting the larger dimensions of the flat paneling). Also, the earliest they could come out was 3 days after I called them, and they were late arriving (although less than 30 minutes, so not terrible). To their credit, they did call me to let me know they were running late, which I appreciated. But they ended up wasting my time staying home from work to meet them, and waiting 3 days for them to come when I could have gone and dumped it myself the same day I called them if I knew they were going to try to gouge me for $150. Followup - I borrowed a friends shortbed (6.5ft rather than standard 8ft bed) pickup truck to haul the stuff to the Williamson County dump, and just as an exercise I figured I'd see if it would all fit under the rim of the bed. I folded up the paneling and hit the sinks with a hammer, and without even taking more than a couple extra minutes, everything fit under the lip of the shortbed except for two pieces of wood that were a little longer that I didn't bother cutting in half (since they would have fit in a standard 8ft bed). And this was in an undersized pickup, and there were still some pockets of space with room for more stuff. Anyone else interested, be aware that the Williamson County dump is offering reduced fees (half off the cubic feet rate and some fees waived totally) through September because of the recent flooding damage. Not impressed at all. Certainly won't be calling them again. read more

They seemed legit by the positive reviews, so I called them to schedule a removal service. They had me send a photo of what I needed removed and were quick to get back to me with a quoted price. We then scheduled a time to remove the materials the following day, no one showed up nor has anyone returned the 10+ phone calls I've made inquiring if I needed to call someone else since we have a deadline of when we need everything removed which they were aware of. So be weary when scheduling a service with them...completely unprofessional. read more

Quick and no hassle. As simple as that. Quoted me on Yelp directly, came over within 15 minutes, and my old couch was gone - gone - gone. Goodbye couchie. read more

On time. Very professional. Stated up front what the cost of the service would be before starting. Called back the next day to ask how everything went. Have used them multiple times. read more

I worked with Tommy. He was very responsive and helped immediately. I didn't even have a pick-up planned and he dropped everything to come to my storage unit and load all my trash and furniture. He was kind and very personable! Good price point too! read more

The were were super quick to respond and had a very reasonable cost to remove my large wooden crate. They were able to come that same day, within the time frame they gave me and I was super easy. Thx. read more

No way to give a zero rating...or I would. Did some yard work and had a bunch of tree branches to haul away and no truck of my own. Found these guys on Craigslist and got a quote. Price was reasonable, so I had them come out. The driver that showed up was driving a 26ft Uhaul and said all the other trucks and trailers were busy, but he could help. That was until he opened the back of the cargo area and it was 95% full already. It was clear my tree branches were not going to fit. Instead of offering to come back later and take everything, the driver complained the entire time he was there about how the guy on the phone misquoted me. He continued to say that he was making no money and he would have charged me three times the amount I was quoted. He even debated a photo I sent to the guy on the phone and I had to show him proof of what I had sent, requesting to haul away. He then took ONLY a quarter of what I had to haul off, since the truck was now full, and bartered with me on price before he would offer to come back. I ended up agreeing to pay even more than originally quoted, just to get the job done, but he asked for half of the initial quote up front. Unwilling, but without a choice, I paid the first half and watched him drive off with 85% of my items still by the road. I paid way too much to listen to someone complain the entire time and not even finish the job I hired them for. I ended up having the trash company haul off the rest...at no charge, at a later date. Very unprofessional and ended up ripping me off with the price quoted for the amount of work done. read more

Great price for what I needed done (single sofa removal) compared to other bids. They were quick in response, took photos of before and after, and communicated well. Thanks! read more

These guys were great. I needed a couch hauled from my 3rd story apartment. There were only 2 small time frames in the next couple of days that would work for me so I was hoping they could fit me in. My new couch was being delivered between 10-2 on Saturday, and the guy I talked to said they could haul away the old one between 9-9:30 Saturday so I wouldn't have to go too long without a couch. Nice. The two men who showed up were polite and very efficient...even with a large, unwieldy couch that took some angling to get through the door, they were in and out in a few minutes. The guy made sure to thank me for my business which was nice and something you don't hear too often these days. The pricing is very fair and reasonable. The total was exactly what I was quoted on the phone, and even taking into account the 20% tip I gave it was still cheaper than the other quote I got. I was really pleased with this service and will use them again if I need something hauled in the future. read more

I needed a mattress picked up and disposed of, so I sent out a request for a quote to nine different companies. Tommy was among few who could come the same day and was the best value. He was on time, fast and seemed really nice. I highly recommend. read more

Someone answered the phone immediately. A mover was at my home we within a few hours. There was only one man who came to pick up my nine-foot sofa. He moved it efficiently, taking great care not to damage anything. I HIGHLY recommend this company. read more

Tommy and crew were fast and friendly!! I had 23 years of junk and they really took care to make sure no walls were hit and even took a couple extra items I forgot to include. Would definitely recommend! read more

These cats are top notch. Do you have shit laying around that you don't feel like dealing with? I used to too--till I reached out to Junkster. Within a few hours, all that shit magically disappeared, and for a reasonable price at that. Furthermore, these dude{tte}s are to be trusted. I wasn't home for either pick-up I scheduled, but they assured me the items I wanted gone would be removed, sending photos via text to prove it {and not charging me till afterward!} once they were. Voila! I come home to less shit than I started my day with and open a frothy IPA to celebrate. Fast, reliable, and cheap - the way I like most things. read more

These guys were GREAT. What a huge relief. Here was my experience. They: - Came over on short notice after giving me a very reasonable bid - Were very personable and friendly while on the phone and at my house - Worked hard and hauled items that were not easy to access I loved my experience with Junkster and will definitely use them again. read more

Received excellent and speedy service from Junkster! We needed to get rid of a box spring and I was really hoping to get rid of it before Christmas, but I figured it was a long shot on 12/23. Asked for a quote today via Yelp and got a response within 15 minutes (possibly less!). I was pleasantly surprised that the quote was reasonable compared to other businesses I've used in the past and someone arrived in about an hour to take it away. No more box spring in the dining room for Christmas, hooray! Definitely recommend Junkster and will call them again for future junk removal needs! read more

Great next day service. They showed up early on a Sunday and were very professional. I would highly recommend them!

I contacted Junkster to remove a small pile of construction debris in my backyard. . Everyone I interacted with was very courteous and prompt. The two guys that did the work couldn't have been nicer even though it was raining and cold. Good operation! read more

I filled out the form and was contacted within minutes. We arranged a pick up time, they were super nice + very quickly loaded the truck to haul away a ton of cardboard from our move. I would definitely hire them again. read more

Junkster.biz (512-785-4043) Showed up right on time, loaded and hauled away about 40 lawn bags of debris on long trailer pulled by truck. 2 nice guys -- Tommy (owner) and George Said they haul away everything but hazardous materials. I will use them again. read more

I was cleaning out the garage and wanted to get rid of some stuff and declutter. Well some stuff turned into too much for the back of our truck without making multiple trips. I wanted it gone and out of sight asap. Called them and they squeezed me in the schedule within the hour. They were professional and fast. They donate what they can so that's a plus. They seriously cleared out my pile in less than 10mins. Very pleased and will highly recommend! read more

Have no complaints. Received a quite quickly and was able to schedule pickup for the next day. Removal guys were friendly and quick. Price was cheaper than the other companies listed. read more

My dog ruined a couch and ottoman right before I was supposed to move so I needed it gone quickly. Tommy with Junkster was a great help! He got me a quote very quickly, for a very reasonably fee. They came and picked it up the next day. I would definitely use them again! read more

I'm a custom home builder and contractor and I have used Junkster on two occasions. Both times, I was 100% satisfied with the service and communications. I will continue to call on them in the future. read more

Super fast service. From the time I made contact to the time the mover drove off with my old mattress was forty five minutes, I am not joking, it was that fast. Best price between the five moving companies I'd contacted. I'll use them and refer others to use them as well. read more

These guys were awesome! They were able to get me in same day, the quote was spot on, and the fellas who came out were AWESOME and FAST. Highly recommend! read more

Tommy was very responsive to my request for quote. Arrived on time and was in and out in 10 minutes. Every efficient and new how to move furniture from the second floor. Will use Junkster again! read more

First of all, Tommy was super quick to reply to my messages and I was impressed by that. I called on a Friday and got an appointment for Monday morning. I had to be in a meeting so the crew was kind enough to text my husband the pictures of the completed job, and collect payment over the phone from him. We ended up paying 50 over the quote I think because there was more fencing than expected? We were just happy it's gone and junkster was good enough to help us even when we weren't home! Thanks! read more
