Thanks Tripp & Jose for your comments.

Tripp–so right about pizza & beer—like a magic potion
Jose—bribing friends is always first option–hey what are friends for?

I have never used “Got Junk” but I have used http://www.arnoldshauling.com in San Jose. I remodeled a home and needed an onld fireplace hauled away so the floors in that room could be replaced. He was great came over within an hour from my initial contact on a SUNDAY! Price was fair, so give him a call if you need anything hauled away. I recommend him to all my clients. Good luck but if I could bribe a friend that is what I always try to do.

I recently called them for a quote to remove some debris from the yard.

Compared to renting a dumpster or bribing a friend with the truck, I found them to be overpriced for the market. They were significantly more than renting a dumpster.

In the end, I simply bribed my friend with a truck, which set me back 1 large pizza and a 6-pack of beer. Never underestimate the power of pizza and beer.

If you’re a typical homeowner looking to clear some debris, you won’t save any money by using them.

If you’re in a hurry or cash isn’t an issue, I’d probably use them though. I’ve heard good things about their service.
