Junk King is a full-service junk removal and hauling franchise that has grown to over 185 locations across the U.S. and Canada since its founding in 2005. Known for its commitment to sustainability, Junk King recycles, reuses, or repurposes up to 60% of everything it hauls away—setting a new standard for environmentally responsible junk removal. With services for both B2B and B2C customers, Junk King provides a turnkey opportunity for franchisees who are passionate about making a positive impact in their communities while building a strong, service-based business.
In addition to full-service junk hauling, Junk King offers convenient 12-cubic-yard dumpster rentals—ideal for residential use and sized to fit in most driveways. This flexibility makes Junk King a go-to solution for customers who want to manage cleanups themselves or require larger-scale disposal services. Backed by national brand recognition, eco-conscious practices, and a scalable model, the Junk King franchise opportunity is perfect for mission-driven entrepreneurs looking to join a thriving and sustainable home services industry.
