Junk King
Junk King Franchise Opportunity
Junk King is a residential and commercial junk removal franchise and part of the Neighborly network of home service brands. Founded in 2005 as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional junk hauling, Junk King has built a reputation for reliable, professional, environmentally responsible junk removal that recycles or donates up to 60% of what it hauls.
Unlike independent haulers who often operate unbranded and inconsistently, Junk King franchise owners benefit from a national brand, a proven operating system, online booking technology, and Neighborly's back-office support. The recurring-jobs-from-property-managers model and recurring residential demand make Junk King a steady, scalable business.
The business model is designed for owner-operators who want a low-cost service business with strong marketing support and the ability to scale into multi-truck operations.
