Pittman Junk Removal and More

Around Tazewell, Pittman Junk Removal and More is one of those outfits you hear about the same way you hear about a good mechanic—word gets around because they show up, do the work, and don’t turn it into a whole production. Folks talk about Michael Pittman like he’s easy to deal with, well-priced, and the kind of guy who actually listens to what you need done. And then—this part matters—he completes it exactly as he said he would.

They’re not just doing “a load to the dump” either. You’ve got reviews calling out full-on estate cleanout work: house, barn, outbuilding, all cleared out for a fair price, on the timeline the customer needed… even when it’s 90+ degree July days. That tells you something about how they operate. A lot of crews can haul when it’s convenient. But can they grind through a family farm cleanout when it’s hot, dusty, and emotionally messy? These folks apparently can. Hard working, friendly, respectful—those aren’t throwaway words in this line of work, because you see plenty of crews who aren’t.

And the “more” in the name shows up in how they handle the details. Multiple people mention them sorting through items, watching for things to keep, and pulling out donation-worthy stuff instead of just tossing everything like it’s all trash. How many times have you heard someone say, “They threw away something I needed”? Here you hear the opposite—he went the extra mile so nothing important got disposed of, and made it easy to retrieve what the customer wanted. That’s the difference between a basic hauler and someone who’s worked around estate situations and understands what can go wrong.

But the biggest tell is responsiveness and short notice scheduling. One customer had only a couple days in town to clean out their dad’s place, and Pittman’s team scheduled them in on short notice and got it taken away same day. Fast and super helpful, repeat customer already. That’s not marketing speak—that’s what people say when a crew saves their weekend and their sanity. Need it done now, not “sometime next week”? Sounds like they’ll at least try to make it happen.

Plus you’ll notice it’s not just Michael—people mention his crew, and even his wife being there, being patient while folks go through things, moving furniture out and around in the house, waiting without getting huffy. Who wants a crew rushing them when they’re deciding what to keep? Nobody. Yet that patience is exactly what gets called out. And then there’s the donation follow-through—“he said he would pick them up the next day, guess what he showed up on his own time” and took them to a place that gives it to people in need for free. Lots of companies say they donate. Fewer actually circle back the next day and do it.

However, if you’re looking for flashy corporate polish, this isn’t that vibe—his owner replies are simple: “Thanks glad to help.” But honestly, that tracks with the operation people describe: no fuss, just handle it. Quick service and quality work. Fair price. On time when it counts. And when the job gets complicated—estate cleanouts, sorting, donations, moving things around—they don’t act like that’s “not included.” They just do the work.

If you’re around Tazewell and you need a crew that’s responsive, respectful, and does what they say they’ll do—Pittman’s reputation is the steady kind that contractors and neighbors tend to trust.
