Review summary

1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s Staten Island/NYC operation draws a sharply mixed reputation: reviewers consistently praise the crews as professional, quick, and friendly, but a recurring pattern of complaints centers on quotes ballooning on the day of service, surprise fees, no-shows or late arrivals, and occasional property damage. Brand-wide aggregate ratings are high (Google ~4.2, Trustpilot 5.0), while the local Staten Island Yelp listing (8 reviews) and the NYC-area BBB profile (D+, unanswered complaints) reflect a weaker local experience.

👍 Pros
  • Professional, courteous, clean-cut crews (named workers like Winston & Arnaldo)
  • Fast and efficient hauling; same-day/quick turnaround
  • Convenient; takes almost any kind of junk
  • Donates/recycles items rather than landfilling
👎 Cons
  • Pricing surprises — quotes doubling or tripling on the day of service, surprise labor fees
  • No-shows or arriving hours late outside the scheduled window with no communication
  • Property damage (walls, doors, wood floors) during removal
