What Philly says about us
4.9Average of 20 recent Google reviews
Gone in under two hours
Called at 9 and they were in my driveway by noon. Two guys cleared a garage I hadn't parked in for six years, swept it out and left. The price matched the quote.
Third-floor walk-up, no problem
Our sectional had to come down three flights of narrow stairs. They took the legs off, wrapped the banister and didn't leave a single scuff on the walls.
Old fridge and washer out the same day
Booked online in the morning and both appliances were gone that afternoon. They even disconnected the washer hoses for me.
They handled my mom's house with care
Clearing out my mother's house was hard. The crew set aside photos and papers they found, asked before tossing anything personal, and donated most of the furniture.
Saved my move-out deposit
My lease ended Friday and the apartment was still full. They came Thursday evening and the landlord signed off on the walkthrough the next day.
Hot tub cut up and gone
I thought this would be a whole weekend with a saw. They cut it down, carried it out through the side gate and raked the area. Worth every dollar.
Fast and friendly
Two mattresses and a box spring out of a second-floor bedroom in about fifteen minutes. Polite crew, and they texted when they were on the way.
Flooded basement, cleared
After the storm our basement was full of soaked boxes and carpet. They hauled everything out in gloves and masks and left it ready for the restoration company.
Shed down in one visit
A rotting wood shed in the backyard, gone in one afternoon including the floor. They were careful around my garden beds.
Cleared our office over a weekend
We downsized and needed 30 desks and a wall of filing cabinets gone before Monday. They worked Saturday and sent a donation receipt for the chairs.
No judgment, just help
I was embarrassed to call. The crew was kind and patient, worked room by room and never made me feel bad. My dad can walk through his house again.
My go-to on remodels
I'm a contractor and use them on most jobs now. Drywall, cabinets, old tile, all gone the day I call. It beats renting a dumpster.
Finally got rid of the old TVs
Two tube TVs and a pile of computer parts the city wouldn't take. They recycled all of it and the price was lower than I expected.
Storm cleanup done right
A tree came down in our backyard. They loaded every branch and bagged the leaves. Took a little longer than planned, but they blew off the patio before leaving.
Our old upright found a new home
They moved a hundred-year-old upright down our porch steps without a scratch and took it to a school that wanted it.
Carpet up, floors ready
Carpet and padding out of three bedrooms, every staple pulled, everything swept. Our flooring guy started the next morning.
Thirty years of attic, gone
They brought everything down a pull-down ladder without dropping a box and set aside the things I wanted to go through.
Great for our restaurant
We replaced our kitchen equipment and they took the old steel tables, shelving and a broken freezer after close, so we didn't lose a service.
Final price landed in the quoted range
The online estimate was a range and the final price came in right in the middle. They showed up inside their arrival window. Will use again.
Our crew for rental turnovers
I manage 40 units. They handle move-out trash-outs, send before-and-after photos and usually turn a unit in a day.
Where we pick up
All of Philadelphia, the four suburban counties and South Jersey. Check your ZIP code to see if same-day pickup is available.

Text (215) 555-0147How much does junk removal cost in Philadelphia?
Price is based on how much space your items take in our truck. A single bulky item starts around $89 and a full truck runs about $619–$719. Use the instant estimate at the top of the page for a range. The crew confirms a firm price on site before any work starts, with no obligation.
Do you offer same-day junk removal?
Yes. Book before noon and we can usually come the same day anywhere in Philadelphia and the nearby suburbs. Weekend slots fill fast, so calling is the quickest way to lock one in.
What items can't you take?
We can't haul hazardous materials such as wet paint, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, propane tanks, fuel or medical waste. If you're not sure about an item, text us a photo and we'll tell you right away.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
Not always. If items are outside, on a porch or in an open garage, we can do a no-contact pickup, send photos when we're done and take payment by card over the phone.
Do you donate and recycle what you haul?
Yes. Usable furniture, appliances and electronics go to donation and recycling partners before anything reaches a landfill. Ask the crew if you'd like a donation receipt.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our crews are fully insured, and we can send a certificate of insurance to your building, HOA or property manager before the job.
Which areas do you serve?
All of Philadelphia, plus Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties and South Jersey towns such as Cherry Hill and Camden.
Do I have to bring items to the curb?
No. We pick up from wherever items are: basement, attic, third floor or backyard. Labor and loading are included in the price.
How do I pay?
We take credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash. Businesses can pay by invoice. You pay after the job is done.
Do you work with landlords, realtors and businesses?
