Dave and the guys at Junk MD are great! I had a trailer full of house/yard debris that they picked up the day after I contacted them. They stayed in communication, showed up on time and left everything tidy. 5 stars!
I have used Junk MD a few times now. Each time they have communicated well the costs and timeframe for pickup. Nice service technicians! Very happy with JunkMD service.
Very professional and agreeable!!! Timely on appointment. Kept in good communication. I was trustee of an estate. After giving away “stuff” to non profits I called JunkMD. They were hard working and efficient and reasonably priced. Would definitely use them again!!!
