Real customer reviews, typos and all ;)

Markel and Will came out and were amazing! They helped get rid of some hard stuff that we had trouble moving. They were super friendly and very professional and we would love for them to come back and help again when we need to get rid of some more junk in the future.

Antonio and Kevin were great to work with! They came out on a cold snowy evening and were so professional and kind! They were quick and hauled away items from our basement and other yard items. We were calling places to compare prices and they were the most responsive and fair company!

I needed some stuff picked up late on a Friday and 1-800-GOT-JUNK was able to make it happen in less than an hour. Holly showed up and loaded the truck up in no time at all. If you need something picked up with no hassle, give them a call.

Once your items are loaded into the truck, their repurposing journey begins. For us, repurposing means recycling the recyclables and donating the donatables, so as much junk as possible is diverted from landfills. You can rest easy knowing your items are handled properly through responsible junk removal.

Gerardo Muñoz Solis

As a first-generation immigrant from Mexico, my journey in the U.S. began early, working in the food industry from my teens and eventually climbing up to a leadership role handling VIP events. This experience laid the foundation for my skills in communication, hospitality, and relationship-building. My career took a pivotal turn when I joined a medical company, starting as a field technician and rising to a corporate recruiter, expanding my skills with professionalism and empathy. Despite initial reluctance, encouragement from close friends led me to embrace a new opportunity at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, where I found a passion I didn't realize was missing in my previous roles.

At 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, I've witnessed firsthand the impact of our culture of promoting from within, helping our staff achieve significant personal and professional milestones. Our commitment extends beyond business growth, focusing on environmental sustainability through extensive recycling and donation efforts in the Chicagoland area. Collaborating with organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity, we strive to give items a second life, reflecting our dedication to being a green company.

Outside of work, my life is enriched by my family, a love for DIY projects, and hobbies that range from automotive repairs to enjoying anime and video games. These personal interests, alongside my professional endeavors, illustrate a life driven by continuous learning, growth, and a commitment to making a positive impact both locally and in the broader community.
