I haven't.  Thought about it.  I think I live out of there area.  So it would probably cost a fortune.

Is it a place where you buy junk or donate?  I've never heard of it. Give us an update if you find out.

It is a place that when you have junk you want to get rid of, you call them and they pick it up for you.

I have never heard of this place.  I guess it is more of a local thing.

cateyes1 is partially correct, 1800 got junk picks up stuff you don't want but not for free. I'm not sure what they charge for their service but I've heard that their fee is based on how much junk you want to get rid of and the size of the item. For example, they'll charge more to take an old sofa away verses a broken lamp. I'm sure there are similar companies out there, you might want to consult home advisor to find the crew that fits your budget and services your area.

Yes, I've used 1-800-Got Junk several years ago to take a bunch of stuff (junk) away. I think at the time it was one price to take everything, but it was kind of pricey. I think they may charge for the amount of stuff you enter into the tool on their website now, but I'm not sure about that. Regardless, it was just a relief to get the junk out of here, and the guys who hauled the stuff away were very nice and professional.  :peace: :heart:

I've heard of it but have never used it. They used to advertise on the local radio morning show quite a bit. The radio host always used to say that they would take anything at all except for your wife or your pets.


They are also featured on many episodes of the TV show Hoarders where they would haul away multiple huge dumpster sized truckloads of junk from some hoards.

Why not just use the curb?  It's probably cheaper just to rent a dumpster.......

   I see their trucks all around my city.
There is so much junk and pollution all around the world.
It is hilarious and frustrating. Where do we put or store
all the junk and unwanted items?

They're really great. Worth every penny. They'll grab the stuff you want gone and will take it away. Quite pricey, but it's worth it especially if you need to get rid of big furniture.
