Junkluggers Recent Franchise Deals

The Junkluggers added five franchisees recently, expanding their commitment to eco-friendly disposal practices across the country.

Since 2004, The Junkluggers has been providing an eco-friendly alternative to conventional junk removal. Our franchisees are helping their very own communities through by providing jobs, helping those in need through charitable partnerships, and keeping the planet safe for future generations through our eco-friendly disposal practices.
