Wow!!! There are almost no words for how wonderful these people are. Genuine, caring, efficient, hard-working, fairly-priced, and knowledgeable. They helped my family out in such an emotional and trying time and we are forever grateful. I would 100% recommend them to anyone.
Bill and his crew arrived on schedule and worked very hard to clean up my mother's home and severe mess she had left after coming down with dimentia. Found Bill and his crew to be hard working and professional and very helpful! Would highly recommend them!
This is the second time I have used the Rubbish Man, this time they actually moved me downstairs from an upstairs apartment plus hauled away old furniture. I am very pleased with the service and friendliness of the workers, and reasonable prices, I would definitely recommend Athena Rubbish Man.
I live in Arizona but was clearing out my friends house so it could be sold. I worked with Bill and he was amazing. The first pickup was done the same day I called. Then after I returned to Arizona, Bill coordinated with me to finish removing what hadn't sold in the estate sale. Everything went flawlessly. He…
These guys are amazing. Just call them! I had to deal with a hoarder/death in the house situation with a family member and needed someone ASAP. These guys were on it. And AMAZING communication. Easy to deal with, great price in my opinion, and got the job done!
I've been using Larry the Rubbish Man for over two decades. They're prompt, flexible, and reasonably priced. They're always courteous and kind. This time I added a mattress and boxspring the morning of the pickup and they still honored the original quote.

Great to use for small productions that do not have access to a dumpster. I was shooting at a location for 3 weeks and set up a pick up schedule to remove trash and set pieces twice a week, and they were always on time and fast. Highly recommended!
Outstanding job! They were prompt, efficient and went above and beyond to help me crack a stubborn tree stump in half and load it out. The whole team were extreme professionals throughout the entire process. Dave was a standout, friendly, capable and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-tier service.
Responded quickly and preformed removal the following day. Did good job, at reasonable price.
