#3Jiffy Junk

4.8 (1123 reviews · Birdeye (Google/Angi aggregate))
Licensed & insuredSame-dayUpfront pricingBooks online

Fast-growing multi-location junk-removal company (ranked No. 366 on the 2024 Inc. 5000) serving all five boroughs with full-service, eco-conscious removal that prioritizes donation and recycling. Pricing is volume-based with upfront quotes; the company says it is licensed and insured and provides building Certificates of Insurance same-day.

“Jiffy Junk is a well-established NYC-area junk-removal company with consistently high aggregate ratings (around 4.7-4.8 stars across Google, Birdeye, HomeAdvisor and Angi), praised repeatedly for punctual, professional, efficient crews who clean up after themselves. The most common criticism is pricing: some customers find it high and a minority object to the truck-size (1/4-truck) billing method and add-on fees.”

👍 Pros
  • Professional, courteous, friendly crews
  • Punctual / arrive on time
  • Fast and efficient work
  • Clean up and sweep after the job
👎 Cons
  • Pricing is high / expensive relative to competitors
  • Truck-size billing method (charged by 1/4-truck increments) feels opaque or larger than the actual load
  • Extra/add-on charges (e.g., TV disposal fee, time charge for moving non-junk items)

NYC junk removal company that charges a flat rate by cubic-yard load size, advertising upfront pricing with same-day availability. Additional hourly charges apply for packing and dismantling.
