Why you should call Junk-it instead of a white van man

It’s tempting to just call up ‘white van man’ when you want to get rid of your junk or waste material quickly, cheaply and with “no questions asked.”

However, there are downsides to white van man:

  • There’s no guarantee that your items are disposed of legally where required.
  • They may not be insured to cover damage to your property when removing items.
  • They can be unreliable when it comes to pickup times.
  • Their pricing can be ‘flexible’.

Junk-it, on the other hand, are above board in all departments and we always remove your junk or waste material when we say we will and within the law (we NEVER fly-tip!). We also work closely with charities to ensure that reusable items are made available to those who need them most.

Steven & Peter came to remove unwanted items from my mums flat, they called first to advise when they would arrive. on arrival they took a look at everything first and ensured I was satisfied with the cost of removal. They were professional, and worked efficiently. Thanks for your service would highly recommend.

Tony and Connor were very helpful and efficient, removing several heavy items without complaint - including a huge wardrobe which had to go down two flights of stairs.

Steven and Alex phoned beforehand and arrived on time, they gave me the price upfront and were very efficient and friendly, they double checked I was happy before giving me the bill. Would use again and definitely recommend.

Dominic and Daniel were fantastic again today! They came when they said they would, confirmed the price we had been quoted and carefully removed everything for recycling. I use Junk It for both businesses and highly recommend them. They communicate really well and are always a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again!
