Thanks Junk MD for making this project so easy for us! We scheduled on line and two very guys showed up on time and removed our junk!
Thanks again

Super quick and responsive on the phone. They were here the next day early morning right on time. Exceeded my expectations! The 2 gentleman that came were a pleasure, so bright and cheery at 8AM!! Cleaned up as well once they removed the junk which was a nice touch!! Would recommend and will be using again in the future. :)
Junk MD was amazing to help clear out a garage full of items to both dump and donate! They were prompt, professional, and went above and beyond. I left the house in the morning with a garage full of junk and came back to an empty and swept garage! Very reasonable and they got the job done!
