All Out Rubbish vs 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
1-800-GOT-JUNK? is the most recognized name in junk removal, and that recognition is earned — they built the category. The tradeoff is that the brand, the national call center, and the franchise royalty all live inside the price you pay in Boynton Beach. We do not speak for any other company's local pricing or crews — franchise territories set their own rates, and a good franchise crew is a good crew. What follows is a structural comparison based on how each business model works, plus what our own customers in Palm Beach and Broward County tell us after they have called around.
| Factor | All Out Rubbish | 1-800-GOT-JUNK? |
|---|---|---|
| Who answers | Montel, the owner. The person who quotes your job is on the job. | A national call center that routes you to the nearest franchise territory. |
| Quote method | Text a photo, get a flat rate back — usually within minutes, before anyone drives out. | Phone estimate followed by an on-site quote once the truck arrives. |
| Pricing floor | $75 minimum single-item pickup. | Franchise minimums are typically higher for a single item because a full truck and two-person crew are dispatched. |
| Arrival window | Typically a 1–2 hour window; often same-day in Palm Beach and Broward. | Commonly a 2-hour window inside a booked half-day block. |
| Overhead in the price | One local truck, one local trailer, no royalty, no call center. | National advertising, franchise royalties, and call-center staffing are real costs carried by every job. |
| Local knowledge | Gate codes, HOA rules, 55+ community loading-dock hours, county transfer stations. | Varies by whichever crew the territory dispatches that day. |
| Equipment | 7'×16' dump trailer with 4' walls (~16.6 cu yd) plus truck. | Standard branded box truck. |
| Recycling & donation | We route reusable furniture to local charities and metals to a scrap yard before landfill. | Publicly committed to diverting recyclables and donations as well. |

The verdict
For a nationwide corporate account, a national brand makes sense. For a driveway in Boynton Beach, Delray, Boca, or Fort Lauderdale, a local owner-operated crew removes a layer of overhead and a layer of phone tag.

Common questions
Is All Out Rubbish cheaper than 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
In most of the head-to-head quotes our customers report back to us, yes — especially on single items and half loads, where our $75 minimum applies instead of a full-truck minimum. We will not claim a specific franchise's price for you; text a photo and compare the two numbers directly.
Are you licensed and insured like the national brands?
Yes. All Out Rubbish is licensed and insured for residential and commercial hauling throughout Palm Beach and Broward County.
Do you offer same-day service?
Most days, yes, in both counties. Same-day availability is first-come, so text early.
How is your quote different?
Ours is a flat rate given from photos before we dispatch. You are not standing in your driveway hearing a number for the first time with a crew already parked out front.
