EcoHaul

This is a great idea, executed shoddily. We had a need to clean out my mom’s apartment and donate all the goodies (approximate value: $ 1500)…with no trash hauling or junk. We really should have done it ourselves, because:
* they were 3 hours late, so I sat around. Could have done the whole job myself in that time.
* they did damage to the goods, so the charity got banged-​up stuff rather than really good furniture
* they didn’t get us the receipts we needed (and asked for 3 times before they showed up)
They may be really good when there’s a lot of junk to dispose of, but for us this was a lose.

Max and Deonsay just left with my 20 year old worn out sofa bed. They kept in communication with me, and arrived 15 mins ahead of their projected time. They were nice, strong, clean cut guys, and were in and out quickly. The price was very fair. I am extremely pleased and will recommend Ecohaul to everyone I know.

Very accommodating. They did all the work, they did it fast, and were in the ballpark on the estimate, the timing, and communication was exceptional. Love the service. Thanks, Ecohaul.

EcoHaul picked up a bunch of cardboard boxes, plastic, and bubble wrap that I had after I moved. Their minimum load price is $ 125 so that is what I paid. Both guys that came were very friendly and quick. They take credit card, check, and cash. That was fast and easy. Thanks, EcoHaul!

Omar and his team were super duper amazing.
They made short work of a big job and were friendly and nice to have in our house.

Ecohaul lives up to the hype! They responded same day, gave me an accurate and clear quote. They called thirty minutes ahead of their arrival, as promised. Max and Dionce (sp?) were super friendly and professional and quick. They filled almost half of the back of their truck. Big and random items. Refrigerator, rusty table, rusty grille, 4 wooden doors, tons of scrap wood and e-​waste.
I am impressed and will use Ecohaul again very soon.

If you need a hauling service, I highly recommend EcoHaul. After calling many places I chose EcoHaul because of it’s amazingly efficient front office (thank you Ethan and Colin!) and the fact that they make every effort to donate/​recycle material rather than take it to the dump.
I had a 5 piece (solid wood and heavy) office set that went along 2 walls. Ethan gave me a very reasonable estimate of 280.00 based on a short video I sent describing the furniture.
The appointment was made for two days after my call, much faster than other businesses I called.
The two men who came to the house-​Deonse and Max-​were very professional and efficient. They arrived within the window of time given and completed the job in short order. I’m completely satisfied with every aspect of this move. Thank you EcoHaul!!!

These guys are awesome.
I have been accumulating a bunch of junk at my house and in the garage for over 10 years. Finally I realized I needed to get rid of all of it. I made a list of everything that needed to go, but the list seemed unbearable. I found Eco Haul and was told that they could do the job for me.
They arrived exactly when they said they would, and it only took 2 hours for them to get the whole job done. This was 2 trucks full of stuff. Their workers were personable, something I appreciated, and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to do any other cleanup of their place!

Where the other places I called never bothered calling back, I got a friendly guy who booked me for the next day. They were here early, moved my stuff in a flash, friendly, courteous… done. Happy.

Ethan gave me a quote on the phone based on what I told him. Owner Chris and Graham come the morning I needed them. I had large items of furniture, upstairs and downstairs, which they got loaded into their truck. Back breaking work and at least mine was saved for the day. All Done, it was half a truck load. Got me over-​the-​phone quote and saved $ 20 by contracting them online.
Sure there may be cheaper ways to dispose of furniture and junk. But for me, this business is a class act. I asked that any furniture that can be donated, please do. Send the receipt. Donation organizations are very particular as to what they will accept as donations. Given this fact anything donatable from me by Ecohaul is a giant plus.
I would definitely recommend EcoHaul and use them again!

EcoHaul helped my house lose weight!
This is the second time I have used them-​easy to schedule, and friendly! The first time they broke up and took away an old sidewalk from the back, as well as bricks and yard debris and an old bar and stools we had in the basement rotting away.
This time they took lots of construction debris, a broken old fashioned heater, metal squashed trash can, old hose and hose winder, gigantic old broken bookshelf and random old heavy broken things.
EcoHaul provides a dependable and professional service, and I must say it is an awesome feeling to watch hundreds of pounds of STUFF that has been hanging around for no good reason be driven away in a big green truck!
Big fan of EcoHaul helping me get my house in shape!

Immediate response, spot-​on quote, and awesome service! EcoHaul is an excellent option for anyone who wants to get rid of a stack of junk the right way. Knowing that it will be recycled makes it that much better. Green … is good. ;)

I had absolutely no problem scheduling or reaching Ecohaul so it seems they have fixed the front office problem people have complained about.
I had 2 large wall to wall rugs and 4 bedrooms of junk to dispose of when my Aunt went into Assisted living. A debris box would have been $ 500 and in this neighborhood (Polk gulch/​Cow Hollow) your neighbors will fill it up before you do! Plus I would had to haul the stuff up and down a flight of stairs by myself.
For $ 630 two very nice, very strong guys came and loaded very box, bag and item into the truck for me. They also took the 2 sets of mattresses (which were $ 15 additional disposal fee since the dump charge them).
That $ 130 differential was nothing given the wear and tear on my body that would have happened. They were done in 2 hours and before they left, their supervisor came by in another truck as I suspect they were concerned all my junk wouldn’t fit into one truck! But it did all fit in one.
Great experience, will definitely use them again for my next big clean out/​clean up job

I was very pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of the Ecohaul guys. My father’s condo had a lotf of items he couldn’t take to his assisted living apt. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is because they forgot to send him his charitable foundation receipts, and I had to call them and follow up with that. Otherwise, they are a wonderful company which I highly recommend!

I have been working with EcoHaul for about 1.5 years. Two years ago I inherited my hoard filled Grandfather’s house. This house was literally stacked from floor to ceiling in every room and in the basement which was the entire size of the upstairs, over 2500 square feet of hoard. And I don’t know what the cubic foot equivalent would be, I’m not much of a math girl. All I can say is EcoHaul saved my life. When you are faced with a situation like this (and I hope you never are) and it’s all up to you to empty this overwhelming catastrophe of a mess it’s pretty stressful.
I remember the first time EcoHaul came out, they brought 2 trucks and 4 workers, and they just hauled out bag after bag after bag after bag of trash I had bagged up. They also just dug into the basement and brought out wheel barrows of stuff and loaded it up and away it went.
They took everything I had to get rid of (except a freakish amount of hazardous waste which has to go to the county disposal) and donated furniture that was good enough to donate and recycled all the rest of the stuff that could be recycled. I had to get rid of this stuff — I didn’t want it to all go into landfills — it kept me up at night — yet I didn’t create this problem — but I had to resolve it — and EcoHaul was my answer.
We have worked together over the past two years emptying the house. They have always been kind, respectful, and compassionate to me, trust me it’s humiliating to clean a hoarder’s house. They were always reliable, showed up within their window or called to let me know about delays.
I won’t say they are a bargain, but they are fair. I did try some other cheaper haulers from time to time — big mistake — I always came back to EcoHaul. I feel the pricing for me has been very fair considering how many truck loads we have had hauled away. The workers are always friendly and happy on the job, never any attitude or complaining. I can’t rate them highly enough or thank them enough for digging me out of my nightmare. Monday April 21^st we are doing the last haul away and I’m a little sad, that’s how much I have enjoyed working with them.
If you need reliable green help, please call them — you will be glad you did.

One star for showing up in the time frame, another for courteously and quickly hauling away the junk.
But seriously, $ 218 for 10 minutes of labor and disposal of a volume of junk that could fit in the bed of a pickup truck? They said the $ 99 Unilocal voucher would likely cover it on the phone, and when they arrived I was relieved when they said it looked like ¹⁄₆ of a load. «So I bought too much with the coupon, but at least it’ll be covered,» I thought. Then after taking my voucher they asked for the extra $ 93.
Seriously, most of this stuff I could have taken to the thrift store or recycling center. I thought even $ 99 was pushing it. I couldn’t imagine how much a larger job would cost…

One invisible star removed for the time it took to set up a time. I sent an email on 12/​28, to which I did receive a response from Ethan, who sent me an attachment of prices, etc. So when I replied that I was interested and wanted to set up a time, he didn’t respond. I called the next day and left a message. Still no response. Called again two days later, I finally spoke with someone who could get a truck out to San Jose this past Friday. I didn’t know they weren’t local, but it wasn’t a big deal. They were happy to accommodate my payment by phone, since I’d be at work during the appointment window.
Dan and Max came to my house and met with my son, and took the stuff and were out of there right away. I think they were also thankful that we had all of the junk ready for them outside. They hooked me up with the Unilocal discount also. Nice guys. Good service overall.
I’d go with Ecohaul again. Just keep in mind that they are in the East Bay and only come to the South Bay on certain days.

Honestly, if I could give 0 stars I would.
I rarely ever write reviews — and never ever in my life a bad review.
Eco haul did work for us last week — they left mid way and said they would come back to grab the rest of the stuff in an hour. Mind you, I was there the entire time and actually helping haul myself and throwing stuff into the truck. All in all it was about 30 minutes total — super nice guy — finished fast, have him card number and it was over. Everything good
Until I get calls the following weekend about how the card I gave didn’t go through. I happened to be at the hospital at the time and was planning on calling back and seeing what the issue is first thing Monday — which I did.
Chris — the owner– answered the phone — and I have never in my life dealt with such an immature unprofessional person. I completely understood the frustration from them worried about not being paid but I was on the phone to pay them, apologized for the late call back, and said I wanted to take care of it.
His responses were rude, he tried to charge us more for labor costs and when we asked why he said that over 1.5 hours of time will cost more — I told him I was there and it was less than 30 minutes and I just want to understand exactly why it would cost more. The responses I got were unbelievable — he yelled, said «Jesus!» All the time and just would not let me get a word in.
Overall, the work was done but the owner acts like a 19 year old — the MOST unprofessional company I have ever dealt with in my life!

One star: they showed up, which always helps.
One other star: they removed my junk.
Minus three stars for giving me a song and dance about the price.
Please don’t take your customers for fools. Don’t lowball on the estimate (when given photos), then jack up the price the day of when there are no other options at that point. The job was very quick and easy, but I’m feeling ripped off.

Helped a friend sell his home in San Jose. Had a garage and shed full of various items ranging from useful (in the right hands) to trash. Saw all of the positive ratings in Unilocal and decided to give EcoHaul a call along with two other strong contenders. EcoHaul offered the best cost range estimation, the soonest date, and the most pleasant staff.
After scheduling the service we realized there was a loft full of junk to remove, too. Called back and they arranged to handle the increase with no problem.
The pair of workers arrived when expected, determined the volume was at the low end of the estimation, and finished the job FAST! Felt good knowing the stuff wasn’t going straight to a landfill, but instead being re-​purposed as able.
And the icing on the cake? The workers were genuinely having fun and enjoying each others company while they worked. Cheerful is an understatement.
I’ll hire EcoHaul again.
