Kraken Junk Removal

Kraken Junk Removal is one of those small, owner-operator outfits around Johnson City where you’re not guessing who’s showing up. You call, you get Austin, and he actually follows through. Folks keep saying the same things in different ways: **great communication**, **prompt arrival**, **on time**, and that “**we’ll call you back when we’re there**” style that matters when you’ve got a jobsite moving or a house full of chaos.

And they move fast. People mention **same day service** and **very next day pickup** like it’s normal for them, not some special favor. That tells me they run their schedule tight and don’t overbook like some crews do. Need a pile gone before showings? A garage cleanout on a timeline? They’ve done it, and they don’t make it a whole production.

Pricing sounds like what locals call a **fair price**—“reasonable,” “competitive,” “great price”—without the usual junk-hauler fog where you don’t know the number until the truck’s halfway loaded. You see reviews where they quote, get the job DONE, and nobody’s coming back mad about surprises. That’s a good sign in this line of work.

What stands out, though, is how they handle the messy realities. Heavy items like a **piano**, treadmills, recliners, appliances, construction debris, rocks and concrete—stuff that’s not fun and not light. Plus they clean up after themselves. More than one person mentions they **cleaned up all debris**, and another calls out being **extremely careful** about not scraping walls and doors. That’s the difference between a “junk guy” and a professional crew—anyone can drag a couch out, but can they do it without chewing up your trim? Can they work in a lived-in space with dogs and a toddler underfoot?

However, Kraken also seems flexible about where things go. You’ll see recycling for electronics, donation drop-offs (Habitat), and then straight disposal when that’s what it needs. That’s a practical operator who knows the local routes and doesn’t mind sorting the headache so you don’t have to.

So what’s it like to work with them? **Easy to deal with**, **responsive**, **friendly**, no fuss, and they show up when they say they will. And in the Tri-Cities junk-removal world, that reputation travels fast—Kraken’s name keeps coming up for a reason.
