The JunkCo guys have been picking up the horse manure from my farm every month for several years. They are always on time, always friendly, and go above and beyond to leave my manure bin spotless. They have also hauled away various farm junk--awesome service, awesome people.

I rented 20 cubic yard container for a week cleaning out a garage and some yard trash. The drop of and pick up was smooth and the driver Ricardo was very nice and professional. I would definitely recommend this company if you need to rent a container, best price I found!

We've used them several times and always dependable and easy to work with. We changed plans on them, and they were fine with it. Always courteous and professional. They don't answer their phone, but they get right back to you if you leave a message.
