JunkMD was really helpful, even though they weren’t able to make the initial time window, they gave me enough of a heads up to adjust. Also, they were quick with picking up the junk, explaining pricing, and left my driveway tidy.…
I work as a property manager and have had multiple great experiences with Junk MD now, they've been a big help hauling away cardboard and packaging leftover from staging apartments with furniture. I definitely recommend their services!
We’d tried for months to sell and then even give away our old sofa before we moved, up until the night before when we finally had to make the decision to pay for a junk hauler. We’re so glad we found JunkMD! We called one evening to schedule pick up and they were able to come the next morning!…
