SACRAMENTO, Calif. - BostonChron -- Discard Junk Removal, a family-owned junk hauling company based in Midtown Sacramento, has been named the top junk removal company in Sacramento by Industry Oversight, which evaluated 189 waste and recycling businesses across the region before naming Discard its 2024 "Best Junk Removal Company in Sacramento." The recognition adds to Discard's back-to-back Thumbtack Top Pro awards for 2024 and 2025, a distinction Thumbtack bases on a company's ratings, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction - Discard currently holds a 4.9-star rating on the platform.

"Getting reviewed against 189 other companies in this industry and coming out on top tells you the standard we hold ourselves to is actually showing up in the work," said Gabriel Torres, owner of Discard Junk Removal. "Same with Thumbtack - a 4.9-star rating over two years isn't luck, it's just showing up when we say we will and doing right by the customer every single time."
