Reviews
Shawn was absolutely fantastic to work with. I reached out on extremely short notice, and he was incredibly responsive and understanding of the urgency. He took quick action, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. Shawn was hardworking, professional, reliable, and had such a positive attitude from start to finish. We immediately felt that we were in good hands, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I’m so glad we chose Shawn and his company, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone dependable, efficient, and genuinely great to work with. Thank you, Shawn!

Thank you so much for the incredible review, Tanya! We were glad Junk Matters could respond on short notice and help with this emergency tenant cleanout on Park Avenue in South Nanaimo. Our goal is always to provide responsive, professional junk removal while making a stressful situation as easy as possible. We truly appreciate your trust and thank you for choosing our local Nanaimo team!
Very satisfied 👍👍. Anthony and Andrew arrived, loaded the leftovers of a 5 BR house. Professional, strong and capable, punctual. Very good communication. I did all my inquiries through the “Junk Matters” website and easily through text said what I needed, quoted in short time. Especially what stood out was I had a very tight window to work with and they were very flexible. Job well done! Recommend.

Great experience from start to finish. They showed up on time, came fully equipped, and completed the job exactly as promised and on schedule. They also cleaned up the jobsite before leaving, which was appreciated. Shawn did a great job coordinating everything, and Andrew and Peter were professional and efficient onsite. Great job overall. Definitely recommended.

Thank you, PJ, for such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate the opportunity to help with the specialized X-ray equipment removal from the veterinary clinic in Chemainus. It was important to us that the job was coordinated properly, completed on schedule, and that the area was left clean when Andrew and Peter finished. We’re proud to bring that same reliable, professional approach to commercial equipment removal, cleanouts, junk removal Nanaimo, and junk removal Vancouver Island throughout Chemainus, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, and Central Vancouver Island. Thanks again for trusting Junk Matters with the project. You Matter – We Matter – Junk Matters. — Shawn

Thank you, Donna. We really appreciate the great review and your comments about our prompt, professional service and fair pricing. It was a pleasure helping with your junk removal on Stewart Avenue in the Nanaimo waterfront area. We were especially glad that the many live plants and trees could be rehomed instead of going to disposal, which is always the better outcome when possible. At Junk Matters, we work hard to provide reliable junk removal in Nanaimo and across Vancouver Island while prioritizing reuse and responsible disposal. Thanks again for choosing a local Nanaimo business. You Matter – We Matter – Junk Matters. — Shawn
