Site said minimum charge was $150, workers told me it was $200. Had the wrong address at first and could only take payment over the phone. They also never responded to my quote request. Use anyone else, the owners are shooting for longest running amateur hour.

Called for a couch removal since we were moving. Ended up being WAY more. Like way way more. They just rolled with it. Cost more of course but was completely worth it. They did a fabulous job. On time. Good price. Photos before and after. Confirmed everything before taking. A+++

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Erik, I'm sorry. You're right that our minimum is $150, and that's what you should have been charged. I'm handling that with the crew. The online form came through without an address, which caused the delay, but we should have confirmed it with you before heading out. Our new crew member also forgot the payment device, which is why he called me so I could run your card. I've emailed you directly and I'm refunding your full charge. This isn't the experience we want anyone to have with Lansing Junk Removal. Scott Toupin, Owner

This is a tough review. The guys were great. Super helpful, prompt, kind, very easy to work with wonderful communication. For them, I would give five stars. The bad is I probably easy had over $200 of goods. This was the cost quoted to remove my objects. Professional clothes, Frankoma pottery, vintage glass and dishes, etc. I felt that the price was still really high. They said they will take off some since they could sell many of the items in their store. They would have made a hefty profit . So the amount of “junk” that I had was very small. The rest was all profit for them. They made a lot of money off of my goods.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're truly glad to hear you had a positive experience with our crew — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. Regarding the pricing and value of items removed: we completely understand how frustrating it can feel when you’ve included things that seem valuable — especially items like vintage dishes, Frankoma pottery, or professional clothing. The reality is that while these items may hold personal or historical value, they often don’t sell for even a fraction of their perceived worth in today’s secondhand market. Many items, even in great condition, simply don’t move quickly or at all — and in some cases, they end up being given away just to avoid disposal. We do offer discounts when we see resale or reuse potential, as we did in your case, and we do our best to offset removal costs fairly. But it’s important to know that our pricing reflects the full service: labor, transportation, responsible disposal, and efforts to reroute as much as possible through our Free, Cheap & Antique Store, where 80–90% of items avoid the landfill. We truly appreciate your business and your transparency — and we hope to continue improving how we communicate the value and limitations of resale when these situations arise. If you'd ever like to talk further, we're always happy to listen.

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Thanks so much, Chris! A tractor mower is no lightweight, so we appreciate you trusting Reed and me to wrestle it out of there for you. Showing up on time and treating people right is a big deal to us, and it's great to hear that came through. If anything else ever needs to go, you know who to call! —Scott, Alicia & The Lansing Junk Removal Team 🚛♻️

Thank you so much, Nick! 😄 We love that this started as "just a couch" and turned into a full-blown cleanout adventure!

This company is exceptional. My movers (Anthony and Austin) were prompt, polite and professional. My house has an unusual floor plan and moving heavy furniture is no small task. Anthony and Austin made it look easy!! If you want quality work this is the company for you.

Received multiple confirmations of the day and time for our items to be picked up, which is great! The two guys who arrived to pick up our items introduced themselves right away before entering our house. They were extremely polite and respectful. Asked if we could remove the front door wreath, something we did not even think about, as not to damage the wreath or our front door by accident. They were efficient and quick in moving our items and worked very well as a team communicating when an adjustment in grip was needed. We were very impressed and will for sure use the company again the future when we clean out our basement. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner · 7 months ago

Thank you so much, Amy! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed experience. It’s great to hear that the communication leading up to your appointment was helpful, and that our team made a strong first impression right from the start. We love that you noticed the small details—like protecting your door and wreath—as well as the teamwork and communication during the job. That’s exactly the level of care and professionalism we aim for every time. We’re honored by your recommendation and look forward to helping you with that basement cleanout whenever you’re ready! —The Lansing Junk Removal Team 🚛♻️
