1-800-GOT-JUNK? Nashua

30 years of cellar junk — from half empty paint cans to old computers to old dishes, etc., etc. Fast, courteous, and very reasonable cost. It would’ve taken months to load and take to the dump. Highly recommend 1−800-GOT-JUNK? Nashua. Only took them about 30 minutes to fill the truck ²⁄₃ full.

Embarking upon our third move in less than 18 months (thank you, US Navy), my husband and I (read: *I*) made the decision to purge the majority of our life’s possessions… which is quite a bit, considering we have 2.5 kids in tow. Whatever I couldn’t sell, I donated, whatever I couldn’t donate, I gave away, whatever I couldn’t give away, I planned on recycling or tossing in the trash. This successfully cut our household down to a manageable size, but our pile o’ crap was HUGE.
I made the mistake of buying a Bagster, filling it, and then expecting Waste Management to actually, you know, pick it up. They wouldn’t, for various reasons — more to Unilocal about that on their review later. After stewing for half a day on what to do with this gigantic, full bag of misc. junk and the additional junk we had left in the house to drag down, I called Got-​Junk and spoke with an awesome rep. Within five minutes, I had a scheduled appointment. She was very clear on the phone about what they would and would not take and how they would quote me a price when they got there.
I ended up requiring a full truck. It was extremely comparable to WM’s Bagster rates, without the BS to go along with it. They showed up, I showed them what needed to go, and they handled the rest of it. Including digging some of it out of the icy ground.
Thanks, guys!

Fast, courteous, and cheap, considering.
Sure, we could have saved the money by hauling the trash away ourselves, but it was well worth the cost (a hair under $ 200) to get rid of the crap the easy way.
The junk in question was located in Billerica, which has bizarre laws governing trash removal and no transfer station. We would have had to truck the trash to my town in New Hampshire to remove it ourselves, meaning we’d have had to borrow my boyfriend’s aunt’s SUV, drive it up to my town about an hour away, pay to have the transfer station folks dispose of each item, pay for the gas in the SUV, make multiple trips because there was far too much trash to fit in a small crossover, make sure we didn’t damage the SUV with the trash, etc. etc. and who really wants to put up with all that crap?
The last straw was that it poured the entire day that we were actually cleaning the house. Once that started happening, we immediately called 1−800-GOT-JUNK and they showed up on time, grabbed the trash (including a TV and an extremely heavy TTY with which we had no effing clue what to do), and left us to finish cleaning the house.
I would recommend them to anybody.
