I cannot speak highly enough of this company. From the moment I submitted a quote request to the final item being removed, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication. Shortly after I completed the online quote form, Brian reached out—within 10 minutes—to gather details about the job. He took the time to understand my needs and promptly scheduled a convenient time to provide an in-person estimate. On the day of the visit, he confirmed his arrival time and showed up punctually. He conducted a thorough assessment of what turned out to be a very large project and provided a quote that I found extremely fair. Within minutes of his departure, I received a detailed invoice along with a scheduled date and time for the work to be completed. On the day of the job, I was notified when the team was an hour away. They arrived on time, ready to work, and brought with them a friendly, can-do attitude. Although the original plan was to complete the job in one day, the scope turned out to be more extensive than anticipated. Brian quickly contacted me, reassured me that they would return the next day with additional crew members, and confirmed there would be no extra charge. True to his word, the team returned and completed the job efficiently and thoroughly. This company went above and beyond to ensure the work was completed to the highest standard. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I fully intend to use their services again in the future and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone in need of cleanout or moving assistance. A heartfelt thank you to Brian and the entire crew—you were truly outstanding.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended! I cannot thank Junken Monkeys enough for their incredible service. I had several large appliances sitting in my driveway for months, and they were such an eyesore. I finally messaged Junken Monkeys yesterday, and to my amazement, by the time I got home from work today, everything was gone. Their communication was prompt, professional, and clear throughout the entire process. I’m so impressed by how easy and hassle-free this experience was. My only regret is not reaching out to them sooner! If you’re looking for fast, reliable, and courteous junk removal, I highly recommend Junken Monkeys. They exceeded all my expectations.

It’s hot!!!! In spite of the heat, the “guys” showed up to take down an eyesore and move a heavy iron stove. They worked in the heat and returned the next day to finish up. What led to them coming? The reasonable quote, the timeliness of the response and reliable communication with Brian Kerrigan. I highly recommend their services. We also support the mission of second chance employment.

I can’t say enough great things about Junken Monkeys! I hired them to remove excess items from one of our properties, and they were at the door within 24 hours of booking—on time, in uniform, and all smiles. The team was professional, respectful, and didn’t need constant direction—they knew what to do and got the job done efficiently. What stood out most is how they treat your belongings with care and never make you feel embarrassed about your “junk”—they truly get it. The owner, his son, and the entire crew have also helped at my workplace—removing old desks, assembling new ones, and handling other removal projects. They’re reliable, respectful, and best of all, a recovery-based employer, supporting individuals working to rebuild their lives. I 100% recommend Junken Monkeys and will always rely on them for both personal and professional needs.

I can’t recommend Junken Monkeys enough! They recently helped haul away a huge load of junk and old furniture from my parents’ house, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. They showed up right on time, worked quickly, and were incredibly professional and respectful of the property. They took a stressful job and made it completely hassle-free for my family. Fair pricing, great communication, and top-notch service. If you need junk or trash hauled away, don’t look anywhere else. These guys get the job done right.

My wife and I decided to clean out our basement this morning. We amassed quite a pile of junk. I hadn’t planned on having to get rid of so much. I called at 1:30pm and they were here the same day. Great price. Excellent service. Very responsive. Friendly team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for junk removal.

I was surprised to see a business with 4.9/5 stars on Google reviews as that is so uncommon these days. I reached out because I see their trucks everywhere and quickly learned why the reviews are so great. After first reaching out communication was prompt, clear, and easy. I recieved a call, we went over what was needed to be removed and every step was quick and painless. I had to make a few changes and Brian was flexible, understanding, and super helpful every step of the way. It is rare to find a business that is this responsive and truly cares about their customers as much as Junken Monkeys does. I am blown away by their service and will recommend them whenever I can.

This company is amazing! I needed a HUGE amount of dirt and rocks hauled away. They gave me a decent price for a quote and a good time frame for it to be done. Then later on, when I was trying to get some things figured out, they offered to come over later the next day and haul it all away. We ended up being able to get it taken care of ourselves anyways, but the customer service and commitment to getting the job done is fantastic!

This is the 2nd time we've had Junken Monkeys to our home for cleanup/cleanout. Amazing! Professional, efficient, on-time, and thorough. Some people may say they're a bit pricey and maybe so but trust me, Junken Monkeys is worth every penny! Can you get a dumpster for less money? Probably. But then you have to do the back breaking work yourself, and watch half the neighborhood throw THEIR stuff in YOUR dumpster! No way. Let Junken Monkeys take care of it. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Highly recommend and will use them again in the future! I called for removal service and they were very polite. They asked for a picture to verify the amount to be removed and were open and honest about the cost estimate (which was exactly what i was charged). Came early the next day and removed it all without me even needing to be there and I was able to pay online with a super easy to use payment system.

I reached out to Brian about getting a dumpster for our Little League field clean up day. He was quick to respond and his guys had a container dropped off when we asked, placed it where we needed it, and picked it back up when we asked. He even offered that if we filled the first container to reach out and he would rush another one right out to us. I highly suggest if you have any need for the services this company offers that Junken Monkeys Hauling Company be the first and only company you call because you will not be disappointed.

On a Saturday, I was overwhelmed with the process of moving. We had accumulated WAY too much stuff in our basement and attic. I called Junken Monkeys for an estimate, Brian answered the phone. He said someone would be by in 30 minutes or so to give us an estimate. They came, gave an estimate, went back to the yard to get a new truck and 2 hours later everything I wanted out was gone!! Absolutely AMAZING! Quinn was so fast, up and down the stairs getting everything out. He even took his time to walk through with me one last time to make sure they got everything. I just can't say enough good things about how efficient this job was!!

Point and demo. It was very easy working with the Demo Monkeys. We worked with the Junken Monkeys in the past and they did a great job. The Demo Monkeys did not disappoint! 4 days to demo the entire house and haul everything away, without any problems whatsoever. They did exactly what they said they would do for a very fair price. If you have a need, use them.

Let’s be real—no one wakes up excited to deal with a house full of stuff that needs to go. But if you have to do it, you’re gonna want the Junken Monkeys crew on your team. After my brother passed away, I had a house full of ahem let’s call it a robust collection of things that needed to be cleared out so I could begin sorting through the rest. Since I haven’t lived in Scranton for over 20 years, I turned to a realtor friend for recommendations, and without hesitation, they said, “Call Junken Monkeys.” Best. Advice. Ever. I reached out, got upfront pricing, and had a truck at the house the very next day. The team called me in the morning to confirm, showed up on time, and got to work like a well-oiled machine. They were quick, professional, and, pleasant while hauling away decades’ worth of "treasures" that had definitely overstayed their welcome. But here’s where they really went above and beyond: I needed not one, not two, but THREE trips in the same week. Every single time I called, they answered the phone (rare these days) and bent over backwards to get a truck out ASAP. By the third trip, I was calling at 11 AM hoping for a miracle, and Gavin and his crew showed up two hours later. TWO. HOURS. LATER. That’s superhero-level response time. Shoutout to Brian, Daryl, Jacob, and Gavin, plus the entire crew who did all the heavy lifting (literally). You guys made a tough job easy, and I’ll absolutely be calling you again when I'm ready to tackle round two.
