AI receptionist · Junk Removal
The AI receptionist for junk removal companies
Customers call three junk removal companies, and the first one to give a believable price and a pickup time gets the job. Botivo answers every call and text, gives a price range from your price list, collects photos, and books the pickup — even when your crew is out on a job.
Why junk removal companies use an AI receptionist
"How much?" calls go to voicemail
Your crew is loading a truck when the phone rings. The AI answers every quote call on the first ring, including evenings and weekends.
Driving out to quote small jobs
The AI asks what needs to go and how much, and asks for photos when the size is unclear, so you only drive out for the jobs that really need it.
Slow replies lose the job
Customers book whoever replies first with a price and a time. The AI replies in seconds, day or night.

What a call sounds like
An example of how the AI receptionist books a junk removal job.
CallerHi, how much to clear out my garage? There's an old sofa, some boxes and a treadmill.
AI receptionistI can help with that. Roughly how much is there — would it fill about a quarter of a truck, half, or more?
CallerHmm, I'm not really sure.
AI receptionistNo problem. I'll text you now — just reply with a couple of photos and I'll give you a price range.
CallerSent them.
AI receptionistThanks! That looks like about half a truck, so roughly $250 to $400. The crew confirms the final price on site. Would Saturday at 10am work?

AI receptionist for junk removal companies: FAQ
What does an AI receptionist do for a junk removal company?
It answers your calls, texts and WhatsApp 24/7, asks what needs to go, gives a price range from your price list, collects photos when needed, and books the pickup or an on-site estimate.
How can it give a price without seeing the junk?
The same way your office does: it gives a range based on the amount of junk and your own price list, and asks for photos when the size is unclear. It always tells customers the final price is confirmed on site.
Can customers send photos?
Yes. Customers can send photos by text message or WhatsApp, and the AI uses them to size the job before giving a range.
Does it work with my booking software?
If your software has an API, Botivo can connect your AI receptionist to it. Otherwise it books straight into your calendar.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Botivo charges a one-time setup fee and a monthly plan based on how many call minutes you need, with no long-term contract. See our pricing page or book a call for an exact quote.
How long does setup take?
A phone receptionist is usually live in 3–4 days. Adding text and WhatsApp replies takes about 1–2 weeks. Our team builds and tests it for you.
