I had a flawless experience with JunkMD getting rid of my Cali King mattress + bed frame. JunkMD was on time, quick, and so sweet—they were also super flexible regarding payment options (Venmo, Debit Card, Check). Loved the flexibility and will definitely be calling them again when I need furniture or junk removed!
Very quick response to a somewhat urgent situation. Needed to clear furniture and other items from an apartment. Dave came out to do estimate on just a few days notice, then scheduled actual removal right after a busy holiday weekend! Professional and clean. Highly recommended
Junk MD was a pleasure to work with. They sent three guys out and gave me a reasonable estimate to remove all the remaining furniture and miscellaneous items from my dad's house. My father recently moved to retirement community and we needed to get rid of all the extra items that he'd acquired over the last 40 years.…
