Look for the Shield. Hire with Confidence.
The Best AZ Shield represents something bigger than a junk removal badge.
It represents a Junk Pro that has taken the time to meet Best AZ's verification standards.
We check their EIN (federal Tax ID), insurance, refuse permit, reviews, website, and phone before they earn the Shield.
Because when someone is coming to your home, you shouldn't have to wonder who you're letting through the door.
The Shield means it's one less thing you have to worry about.
A shield protects. So does this one.
For as long as there have been shields, they have meant one thing: someone is standing between you and harm. That is the job of the Best AZ Shield. It stands between your home and the risks of hiring the wrong person, and it stands behind the honest Junk Pros who do things the right way.
It protects you
- Insurance is in place, so damage to your home or property is not left on you.
- A refuse permit means your junk is headed to a proper place, not dumped in the desert, a wash or a vacant lot.
- Less risk of a dumped pile being traced back to your name or address, along with the fines and cleanup costs.
- A real business with real reviews, so there is always someone to call.
It protects honest businesses
- Licensed, insured Junk Pros put in the work to run the right way. The Shield gives them a simple way to show it.
- It keeps them from being lumped in with random haulers who skip insurance, permits and proper disposal.
- It lets their reviews and their reputation speak for them before they ever arrive at your door.
Before a Junk Pro can display the Shield
Every Verified Junk Pro has cleared the same checklist. Here is what Best AZ looks at.
EIN verified
An EIN (federal Tax ID), so you know you are hiring a real, registered business.
Insured
An active general liability certificate of insurance and auto insurance for every truck and trailer.
Permitted
A valid refuse permit for the counties they serve.
Well reviewed
A Google rating of 4.0 or higher with at least 30 Google reviews.
Real website
A live website that matches their Google Business Profile.
Real phone
A business phone that actually reaches them.
What each part of the Shield tells you
Verification reflects what we checked at that time, so always confirm details with the Junk Pro before you book.
Where you will spot the Shield
Verified Junk Pros are proud of the Shield, and many show it wherever customers find them. Here is what that can look like out in the world.
On social media
In posts, on profile pictures, in bios and on highlight covers.
Around town
On trucks, trailers and business doors around the Valley.
On their website
A Junk Pro can add the BEST AZ Shield to their own website too.
