About The Junkluggers

We strive to make a positive impact on the world!

In 2004, founder, Josh Cohen started The Junkluggers using his mom’s SUV and operated out of a small storage closet in his father's office. Brand-conscious from the beginning, he painted one wall a brilliant shade of green, symbolizing the company's high-energy and eco-conscious focus. This commitment to the brand guided our growth from the start, leading to expansion through franchising in 2012. Today, with a dedicated corporate staff and trained franchise owners, The Junkluggers continues to build brand awareness and expand across the United States.
