This company is total rip off. Be aware, if you are using $35 coupon, good luck, they will ding you $400 to $500 on top of this. They think they can fool public. Teambuy or Groupon should not advertise this junk company.

They say if so something sounds too good to be true, it, usually is. Take group buy coupons for example. Here’s a breakdown of the actual numbers pertaining to a $35 coupon for 250lbs of junk removal, and why it’s best to avoid these deals and companies who charge by weight despite not having scales on their trucks. City landfills charge $114 per ton for disposal. 1 metric tonne equals 2204 lbs. divide that by $250, (the weight allowance for most $35 vouchers) so 2204 / 250 (lbs you get removed for $35) that brings us to 8.81 $35 coupons required to have 1 ton of junk on the truck. Now take that 8.81, multiply by $35, and we have a whopping $308.35 for having made almost 9 stops, and expenses aren’t factored in yet. According to what they advertise they should collect $308.35 per ton of junk, which costs $114 to dispose of. Now we know that we have to make a 8.81 stops to have 1 ton on the truck, and that’s assuming that everybody has exactly 250 lbs of junk to get rid of. Minus $114 to dispose of 2204 lbs or 1 tonne, we’re now left with $194.35! Assuming the driver gets $13 per hour and the helper $11, that’s $24 per hour in labor costs, or $192 for an 8 hour work day, that leaves a paltry $2.35 profit for the day!! Let’s have a closer look. Labor 24 x 8 = $192 8.81 Customers pay $35 each for 250 lbs of junk removed. Let’s round it off to an even 9. $35 x 9 = $315 collected for 9 stops. 250 lbs x 9 = 2250 lbs or just a few lbs over 1 ton on the truck. $315 minus $114 for dump fees, and minus $192 for labor, = $9. How do they make any money? Keep reading. They make a profit by charging everybody for everybody else’s junk. They’re just guessing how much your stuff weighs and you are getting ripped off. There is no nice way to put it. All the victims for that day get get copies of the same scale ticket and a crafty story on how their junk exceeded the maximum weight allowance for the deal specified, and they get charged exorbitant amounts. And that’s on top of each individual scam! Remember, the more stops they make the more weight is on the truck and the more each customer for that day is gonna get fleeced. At this point there’s nothing you can do to defend yourself because they already have your credit card number! You don’t need an MBA to know that there is no way any company can operate 100% honestly without scales on their trucks, at $35 for 250 lbs of junk removal.
