Junk King - Franchise
Since 2005, Junk King® has provided a variety of eco-friendly junk removal services as a nationally recognized industry leader. Junk King franchise owners serve customers in more than 165 locations across North America. When it comes to starting a junk removal business, franchise owners looking to be their own boss have the support and resources to pursue their dream of business ownership in a growing industry.
Junk King is proud to be a part of Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services franchise with 19 brands and more than 5,000 locations focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. Utilizing decades of experience and scale through the Neighborly Hub, this multi-brand portfolio provides our franchise owners with distinct advantages like improved networking opportunities and customer referrals between brands in the same local market, ultimately creating value for franchise owners and customers alike.
The Neighborly Done Right Promise™ is a core component of putting customer service first by taking the stress out of home maintenance, having pride in the work that gets done, and promising to make things right. Additionally, the culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and Junk King franchise owners apart from the competition.
Why Franchise With Junk King?
No Industry Experience Required: By utilizing an executive ownership model where you make the decisions and manage your own business, you won’t need to take the trash out to be successful, especially after hiring an expert staff.
Multiple Revenue Streams: From standard junk removal to dumpster rentals to eco-friendly recycling, there are numerous services that provide value to your business and customers alike. Plus, our trucks are 20% bigger than most competitors, so you're able to handle king-sized hauls more efficiently.
Prime Territories: With available territories in some of the fastest-growing markets, there’s ample space and demand to establish your franchise. Better yet, thanks to designated territories, you’ll be able to collaborate and share best practices with other Junk King locations instead of compete for the same customers.
Eco-Friendly Focus: By emphasizing the importance of limiting landfill usage, we're proud to recycle, reuse, or donate about 60% of junk hauls on average. As a result, franchise owners are able to provide superior value, service, and effort to their communities.
Award-Winning Recognition: With more than 15 years of success, Junk King has been recognized by leading organizations within the franchising space, such as Entrepreneur Franchise 500®, Franchise Business Review Top 200, and Franchise Times Top 400®.
Veteran Discounts: We are proud to partner with VetFran and offer franchise fee discounts for qualified veterans. With more than 425 current Veteran owners across Neighborly brands, we’re committed to helping transitioning and current Veterans achieve their business goals.

Don't be afraid! I think that one of the great things about franchising is that it's about having a network of people around you to give you support and handle your questions.Marnie Prince
The corporate team has been very helpful in the sense that they're always available. It feels like a family-run business in a sense. The other owners were also instrumental in helping the business grow.Steve Kaiser
I would tell other women to get out there and learn about franchises and really jump in and take a leap of faith. It has been such a great experience and so rewarding.Melissa Michel
The benefits of being a multi-unit owner allows you to cover a greater area while not putting a strain on your location. As we get bigger and get more territories, we're able to scale the business and not increase our costs.Tom McCabe
We looked at probably eight different franchises through someone who really knows franchises. When we really looked into Junk King, the first thing that stood out to me is leadership. It felt like a family and was authentic.Doug Wren
