Junk King San Antonio (4.9, more than 2,600 reviews) and JunkStart Junk Removal (4.9, more than 950 reviews, priced by weight on truck scales) come next.

Our take: Its feedback is as much about moving as hauling, and its lowest ratings involve moves. Reasonable if you want one company for both; get the schedule and fees confirmed first.

How the scores work

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, ranked against other San Antonio junk haulers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from thousands of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What drives junk removal prices in San Antonio

We could not source a reliable local price table for this trade, so there are no dollar figures here. Haulers quote by the load, and the biggest factors are how much there is, how heavy it is, how hard it is to reach (stairs, a third-floor apartment) and whether anything needs special handling. One business on this page, JunkStart, bills by weight on truck scales, while others give an estimate once the crew sees the items. Get the number in writing before anything goes on the truck.

Where these haulers work in San Antonio

These companies work out of addresses across the city, including the 78233, 78216 and 78245 ZIP codes. Looking for junk removal near me? Every listing below shows a phone number and a map link so you can reach the closest option and ask about same-day openings.

What to ask before booking a junk hauler

Is the price an estimate or a firm quote, and is it given in person, by photo or by weight?
Can you come the same day, and what do I need to book by?
Are stairs, heavy items or mattresses charged extra?
Do you donate or recycle what you take, and can I ask for that?
Is there a minimum charge if the load is small?

Frequently asked questions

Can San Antonio junk haulers come the same day?

Several reviewers on this page report same-day or within-hours pickups, including for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? San Antonio, Junk King San Antonio, JunkStart Junk Removal and JL Junk Removal. The 1-800-GOT-JUNK? site notes that same-day openings depend on booking early, so call in the morning.

What does pay-by-weight junk removal mean?

JunkStart Junk Removal says its trucks carry built-in scales and that customers pay for the weight actually removed, not the space the load takes up. Reviewers describe watching the weight during the job. Ask for the rate per unit of weight when you book.

Does any of these companies also do moving?

College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving San Antonio lists hourly and full-service moving next to junk removal and donation pickup. Its reviews include both haul-away jobs and moves, so ask which crew would handle your job.

Do I need to be home for an estimate?

It depends on the company. The 1-800-GOT-JUNK? site describes a free in-person estimate, a Junk King reviewer says the crew looks at the items and prices them on the same trip, and JL Junk Removal reviewers describe quotes from photos or video.

The short version

1-800-GOT-JUNK? San Antonio is the safe default on rating and review base. JunkStart suits anyone who wants to see the weight behind the price, and JL Junk Removal is worth a call for small loads and photo quotes. Whoever you pick, get the price in writing before loading starts.
