Austin-Owned Junk Removal with Franchise-Level Professionalism

We’re your neighbors—delivering fast, friendly, and eco-conscious hauling across Austin.

At Junko Hauling, we combine the personalized service you’d expect from a local business with the polished professionalism typical of larger franchises. As proud Austinites, we know this city inside and out—and we care deeply about keeping it clean, green, and clutter-free. From the friendly greeting on the phone to the final sweep of your space, our team is committed to making junk removal feel simple, transparent, and dependable.

    Why We Started Junko

    Junko Hauling was founded by two Austin locals, Jorge and Anna, who set out to bridge the gap between the impersonal approach of big-name franchises and the sometimes unreliable service of a simple “guy-with-a-truck.” We wanted to create a junk removal experience that’s as professional as it is neighborly—a service that respects your property, your time, and the environment. We sort items for donation or recycling to reduce waste, and we always sweep up before we leave. It’s these small touches that make a big difference for our neighbors in Austin.

    “We treat every pickup like it’s for a neighbor—because it is.” — Jorge, Founder
