Fantastic Service . Guys showed up and did amazing job! . They were polite and professional. I would recommend to my friends in a heart beat. I shopped around for a while and overall they have the best prices per volume. Great company. They were really fast as well.
They professionally and efficiently got rid of an old deep freezer in our basement. The guys were very courteous and the price was reasonable. Overall had a great experience and will use them again in the future I’m sure.
I've been looking for someone to remove two old couches for so long, but honestly other company's wanted to charge almost $300. Sam responded extremely quick and gave a reasonable price (less than half the amount the others wanted to charge). They are very flexible with timing. Will be having them come back....
Capital made it super easy to get rid of some over-sized items that were cluttering up our yard. They worked quickly, clean and accurate. The price was agreeable and I would not hesitate to recommend and use them in future.
These guys are great! The owner Sam was quick with responding to my questions. They were available the day I needed them. They moved the heaviest pieces of furniture you can think of - a whole truck load. Sam's Staff were very nice gentleman as well.
Made a call to Sam and he arrived on short notice and completed the job professionally and promptly for a reasonable price. I really appreciate a company that arrives on time and does the job and Jon and his crew did just that. If you need a professional crew to move your junk don't hesitate to give them a call.
Excellent experience. I will absolutely use them again. They were professional, prompt and mindful of the physical distancing requirements currently in place. They were also very responsive and respectful. Got junk to get rid of? Make it easy on yourself and call Junk Ninja.
Junk Ninja provided excellent service throughout the process of removing our large china cabinet. The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and efficient in providing a quote and making a reservation for the next day. The moving crew arrived right on time and very carefully and quickly moved out our china cabinet. To top it off, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them.
Most rewarding experience! They showed up less than 24 hours after I booked with them and they called 20 minutes before arriving. Cameron and Matthew were the most pleasant, and efficient young men. They were able to take everything I wanted gone and more. They even cleaned up a room after removing the debris. I will forever use this company for junk removal and recommend them highly. Thank you so very much!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I start with hoarding cleanup?
If you are looking to start hoarding cleanup in your own home or in the home of a loved one, the best place to start is in a small room. Starting in a small room will allow you to have a sense of progress without being overwhelmed like you might be if you try to tackle a larger space like a garage right away. A bathroom is an excellent place to start not only because it is a small room but also because having a clean and sanitary bathroom is vital to maintaining an individual’s health. They also are less likely to contain sentimental or valuable items, so the process of throwing them away is much easier.
After you have cleaned a bathroom, the next step is to move on to progressively larger rooms until the home or space is clean and safe to live in. At Junk Ninja, we have significant experience cleaning up after even the most extreme hoarding situations and know it is not easy to do alone. Let us do the heavy lifting and help clean out your or your loved one’s home. Our caring and compassionate will help you or your family get on the path to recovery. Call us today.
When does hoarding become a safety issue?
As items pile up in a house, the hazards of hoarding increase and make living in a hoarder’s home dangerous. Hoarding becomes a safety issue as soon as an unreasonable amount of trash and items build up and make normal movement throughout the house difficult. The hazards of hoarding are:
- Falling. As items, clutter, and garbage pile up, it becomes increasingly likely that someone will fall over it. The clutter itself can also fall on the occupant, causing serious injuries and potentially a loss of independence, especially in older people.
- Fire Hazards.Hoarders often hold on to a large amount of flammable material (boxes, newspapers, flyers, etc). When a fire starts elsewhere in the house, these piles of flammable materials can turn into fire traps. The large amount of clutter also makes it difficult for the occupant to escape in the event of a fire.
- Hazardous living conditions.In a hoarder’s home, proper cleaning and maintenance becomes impossible. Dangerous problems such as mold can spread without the knowledge of the occupant, and the weight of all the clutter can cause dangerous structural damage. /li>
- Infestations.It is common for insects, rats, and other pests to live in and among the clutter in the homes of hoarders. They easily survive off of the rotting food and garbage, and have plenty of hiding spaces. Their urine, fecal matter, dander, fecal matter, and decay can build up and become airborne, making it a serious risk for the occupant.

What is hoarding disorder?
How does hoarding begin?
Signs of hoarding will begin to appear in childhood or adolescence, with the typical onset age being around 13 years old. Hoarding is both chronic and progressive, with more advanced signes being in adults in their 50’s . Some signs of hoarding are:
- Difficulty throwing away, recycling, giving away, or selling items.
- Messes and clutter that makes moving around the house difficult
- Difficulty organizing and categorizing possessions
- Sleeping with a mess or items on the bed
- Piles of items which fall over
- Excessive shopping or collecting free unnecessary items.
- Inability to realize the seriousness of the issue
It is important to note that not every person with some symptoms of a hoarding disorder is a hoarder. If you or someone you love is affected by hoarding disorder, contact Junk Ninja now. We can help clean even the most extreme hoarding situations.
What's the difference between hoarding and collecting?
One of the major differences between the two is that when collecting is healthy, the display or storage of the items being collected does not impede the use or access to living areas. Collections are organized and coherent. Often people will collect items such as action figures, currency, trading cars, vinyl records, etc. The items they accumulate are directly related to the collection and they are organized and stored in a safe manner. If a collector begins acquiring items which are not related to well-defined collections and lose the ability to keep them contained and organized, it becomes a hoarding problem. Collections are healthy and stimulating ways that people choose as pastimes, connecting them with something they are passionate about. Hoarding is a disorder which has a very strong negative impact on quality of life, often leading to them being cut off from the outside world. If you believe you or someone you love has had a collection turn into hoarding, call Junk Ninja today. We can help you clean out the mess and begin the path towards recovery.
