When we say that junk can be scary, it’s not only because it takes up space in your home. We dare you to see the spookiest items we’ve hauled away.

It's that time of year… October is the spookiest month, and we love it, but did you know that haunting discoveries aren't just for Halloween? Whether it’s from someone’s basement, attic, closet or backyard, our junk removal experts keep finding some pretty spooky items on their everyday pickup jobs. Keep reading to see some of the spookiest junk items that our teams have collected.

To get into the spirit of spooky season, we’re sharing our spookiest junk finds! Creep along with us to see what wickedly fun things we picked up. Let’s get this party startled!

Friday the 13th and Scream Masks

Jason and Ghostface may not have starred in a film together, but they make a great team. It’s scary how efficient they are when it comes to removing construction debris.

Skull Mask

Making junk disappear is truly a special skull. Oops, we meant skill! This skull mask might have spooked our truck team at first, but in the end it was dead easy for them to haul it away.

Pumpkinhead Twins

These two definitely look like double trouble! Proving that no item is too scary for us, our Calgary team wasn’t afraid to get up close for a creepy photo op with these guys.

So cute it's scary

This sweet old couple didn’t have any nerves on their wedding day—nothing gets under their skin! While these skeleton dolls are definitely a little spooky, you can see from his smile that our Truck Team Member found them pretty humerus.

Annabelle, is that you? (hope not!)

There’s nothing outright scary about it at first glance, but after seeing The Haunting of Bly Manor, Annabelle, and Coraline, we’re having a hard time trusting this doll's intentions. Even so, for us, getting rid of junk is child’s play!

Frequently asked questions

How does 1-800-GOT-JUNK? charge for junk removal?

1-800-GOT-JUNK? is more affordable than you may think. Our junk removal prices are all-inclusive, which means you get:

  • Professional, uniformed and insured crew members
  • Junk removal from anywhere on the premises
  • Loading, lifting and sorting
  • Recycling, donating and disposing of items
  • Transfer station tariffs and fees
  • Gas and travel

We charge by the amount of space your items take up in the truck. We think it’s more fair to you to price by volume instead of the length of time it takes us to lift and load. The best part is we’re cheaper in bulk: the more stuff you have, the more value you get!

For materials with a heavy cubic weight, like dirt, concrete, and gravel, pricing is based on the total volume the material takes up in the truck, up to a maximum of one foot in height for a full truck.

Email us at business@1800gotjunk.com or call us at 1-888-475-3461

Do you provide recurrent, bulk-service pricing discounts?

If you need service on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, we offer bulk pricing discounts. This gives you better value compared to common alternatives, such as dumpsters or less-professional junk removal services.

When should I expect you to arrive?

On the day of your appointment with us, our friendly, uniformed truck team members will give you a call 15-30 minutes before the start of your two-hour promise window. They’ll say hi, let you know what time they plan to arrive, and confirm any other details about your appointment if needed.

Do you service multiple locations?

Whether your business has a single location or multiple locations, we can create a custom junk removal solution that works for you. We can coordinate pickups at multiple locations at a local, regional, and national level.
