Herbivore Hauling & Junk Removal

Around Virginia Beach, you hear the same names come up when people need junk removal or a quick move without the drama, and Herbivore Hauling & Junk Removal is one of those. Folks don’t talk about them like some big “service brand.” They talk about Herb. The guy who actually shows up, on time, and handles the awkward stuff—marble and glass kitchen table, bakers rack, boxes to a storage unit—without turning it into a whole production.

And “professional and friendly” isn’t just a throwaway line in these reviews. Customers keep circling back to the same points: punctual, reliable, easy to deal with, and careful. That last part matters more than people think. Anyone can muscle junk into a truck. Not everyone moves glass and heavy furniture like they’re trying not to buy you a new one. You ever watched a crew rush a tight doorway and pretend that scrape “was already there”? Yeah. This doesn’t sound like that kind of operation.

Pricing comes up, too—affordable, fair price, good value, reasonably priced. No one’s hinting at surprise add-ons or the “well, actually…” upcharge once the job starts. Plus you’ll notice repeat callers: “called on him many times,” “can always count on Herb,” and the long-memory referrals—someone still had his info two years later because he did such a good job. That’s real in this line of work. People forget most haulers the minute the pile’s gone. They remember the ones who were responsive and didn’t make it a hassle.

But the part that jumps out to me is responsiveness. One reviewer said he showed up within 2 hours of calling. Now, can he always do that? Probably not—he even says he tries to meet needs as soon as he can. Yet that’s the vibe: if he can fit you in, he will. And when you’re staring at a deadline—move-out, remodel, tenants, jobsite cleanup—how much is that worth?

Construction folks trust him, too. One construction business owner calls him a “trusted resource” with dependability and great customer service, which tells you he can work around real schedules and real messes, not just a neat little curbside pickup.

If you want a crew that’s fast, friendly, efficient, and no fuss—and you want to deal with someone who answers, shows up, and gets it done—Herbivore Hauling has built that kind of reputation the old-fashioned way. In this town, that’s the kind of name that sticks.
