Sustainability is a responsibility we all share in today’s interconnected world. The Junkluggers lead with purpose and embodies that mission. As a national leader in eco-friendly junk removal, The Junkluggers is transforming how homeowners think about waste, donation, and community impact.
What Is Eco-Friendly Junk Removal?
Eco-friendly junk removal is the process of responsibly disposing of unwanted items by prioritizing donation, recycling, and reuse over landfill dumping. The Junkluggers make this process simple and rewarding for customers by offering professional junk hauling services that focus on sustainability and social good.
Whether it’s old furniture, electronics, clothing, or household goods, The Junkluggers aims to have every item evaluated for donation or recycling before being discarded. Their goal? To keep 100% of reusable items out of landfills.
A Mission Rooted in Environmental Stewardship
Founded by Josh Cohen in 2004, The Junkluggers began with a single Dodge Durango and a dream: to protect the environment by giving unwanted items a second life. Since those early days, the company has grown into a nationwide franchise network committed to reducing waste and supporting local communities.
The Junkluggers year-to-date donations (as of September 2025) include:
- Recycled over 3 million pounds of goods
- Rehomed or donated nearly 400,000 pounds of items to local charities, nonprofits, or new homes
These numbers reflect a deep commitment to environmental responsibility and community support — values that align perfectly with Authority Brands’ mission to build trusted home service networks that improve lives.
How The Junkluggers Gives Back
The Junkluggers doesn’t only remove junk — they give it purpose. Their team of trained professionals carefully sorts through items to identify what can be donated or recycled. Past donations have included:
- Clothing for veterans
- Toys for children’s museums
- Shoes for the homeless
- Countless other items to local nonprofit partners
Remix Market: Sustainable Shopping That Supports Local Charities
A standout initiative within The Junkluggers ecosystem is the Remix Market — a furniture and home décor resale store with 22 locations across the U.S. Remix Market works hand-in-hand with local The Junkluggers teams to rescue quality items and offer them to customers at affordable prices.
What makes Remix Market unique?
