Junk removal service (operating as Maximum Cleaning Svc Inc., established 1997) serving Staten Island and the wider NYC/Long Island area, pricing by truck space used.
“1-844-JUNK-RAT (Maximum Cleaning Svc Inc.) is a family-owned NYC/NJ-metro junk-removal company whose reviews are split: customers widely praise the crews as professional, on-time and efficient, but a recurring minority complain that the final price exceeded the original quote, including one detailed BBB bait-and-switch complaint. Aggregate scores range from 4.9/5 on HomeTownDumpsterRental (37 reviews) to 3.5/5 on Yelp (17 reviews), with an isolated 1-star BBB review.”
“Junk rats wonderful experience and well worth the [price]. Tyler and Nick are kind and pleasant.”— Melanie S., Yelp ↗
“The two guys that came did a wonderful job. They were very fast and very efficient... I would definitely hire those same guys if I ever needed anything removed.”— Richard B., HomeTownDumpsterRental ↗
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.
“Flat Rate Junk Removal is a Brooklyn-based company serving all five NYC boroughs with sharply polarized reviews: strong Google (4.7/350) and Facebook ratings praising fast, same-day, professional crews, but a much lower Yelp score (2.6/45), a 3.4 on Angi, and an F BBB rating with unanswered complaints. The recurring positive theme is speed and friendly crews, while the dominant complaint is that the advertised flat rate is not honored on site, with pricing-transparency and follow-up issues.”
“Roy came down within 2 hours and took everything out in like 20 minutes.”— Yelp reviewer, Yelp ↗
“Hired them to clean the whole house and take all the garbage out, chose them because they gave me a flat rate and I didn't want any surprises.”— Yelp reviewer, Yelp ↗

“Strictly Junk Removal is a Brooklyn-based junk removal company that advertises a 4.9-star aggregate across 90+ Google reviews, corroborated by a 4.9 rating on HomeAdvisor and a 5-star (single-review) Bark profile, though it has no Yelp or ProvenExpert reviews yet. Reviews consistently praise fast/same-day response, fair pricing, and the professionalism and reliability of the crew (frequently the owner, Jaime/Jimmy), with few documented complaints.”

No BBB, Trustpilot, or Angi profile was found, and the site's "150+ 5-Star Reviews" claim could not be independently verified.”

“Global Junk & Moving is a small, family-owned Rego Park (Queens)-based junk-removal and moving company serving the NYC boroughs, with mostly 5-star Google feedback (4.7/5 across 5 reviews) praising affordable pricing, fast efficient crews and owner Peter's communication. However, a third-party aggregator (7.17/10 over 30 reviews) and a handful of 1-star Yelp reviews flag billing/overcharge disputes, no-shows, and quoted prices not being honored, indicating reliability and pricing-transparency are the main weak spots.”
“I had such a pleasant experience. They are fast and efficient. Hard workers. I will definitely be using this company again in the future.”— Vanessa Bucaria, Google (via VanLinesMove) ↗
“The Brooklyn Crew did an amazing job. Peter, Ricardo and Candy were very efficient, thorough and helpful. They went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this company!!!”— Claire Oconor, Google (via VanLinesMove) ↗

“On Time Rubbish Removal is a small Staten Island junk-removal company with a very thin independent online review footprint: only one genuine third-party review was found (Yahoo Local, 5 stars), while its Yelp and Facebook listings exist but show no ratings, and no BBB, Trustpilot, or Angi presence was located. The single real review and the company's own site testimonials point to punctuality, professionalism, and fair pricing, but the sample is too small to reliably assess most performance metrics.”

The only review-like content (a '4.9/5 from 127 reviews' figure and a couple of unattributed testimonials about fair pricing, fast same-day service, and professional crews) appears solely on the company's own marketing website and is self-reported, so it cannot be treated as independently confirmed social proof.”
