1-800-GOT-JUNK

1-800-GOT-JUNK charges based on the volume of space your items take up in their truck, rather than by weight. Their pricing is all-inclusive, covering labor, transport, and disposal fees. Because it is a premium full-service franchise, it is generally more expensive than renting a dumpster or hauling the junk yourself.

They will take almost anything that is non-hazardous, including old furniture, appliances, electronics, and yard waste. However, they cannot take items like paint, chemicals, oil drums, or asbestos due to environmental regulations. If you have hazardous materials, you will need to contact a specialized local disposal facility.

Yes, 1-800-GOT-JUNK is committed to keeping items out of landfills by donating reusable items to local charities and recycling metals, plastics, and electronics. They claim to recycle or donate up to 60% of the items they pick up. When they take your items, they sort them at their local facility to determine the best disposal method.

The standard 1-800-GOT-JUNK truck has a cargo box that is 10 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet high, equivalent to about 1.5 standard dump trucks or six pickup truck loads. You only pay for the exact fraction of the truck you fill, whether it's a 1/4 load or a full load. This makes it easy to estimate costs before the team arrives.
