Review summary

1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s NYC franchises (Manhattan/Bronx and Brooklyn/Queens) draw consistent praise for punctual same-day service and professional, efficient, clean-up-after-themselves crews, while their independent third-party listings show polarized feedback: brand-managed verified-review aggregators sit near 4.9 stars but Yelp hovers around 3.5 and the BBB rating is D+. The recurring negatives center on surprise charges above the quoted estimate, occasional property damage with slow reimbursement, and weak customer-service follow-up.

👍 Pros
  • Punctual, same-day availability
  • Professional, friendly, courteous crews (often named)
  • Fast and efficient hauling, heavy/awkward items handled
  • Cleans up after the job (sweeps floors)
👎 Cons
  • Surprise upcharges / final price far above the estimate
  • Property damage (walls, floors, doors) during removal, slow/no reimbursement
  • No-shows and poor callback/customer-service response
