About The Junkluggers

Having grown consistently over the years, there are currently 11 locations operating nearly 50 territories in seven states.

Company History

While studying abroad in Australia, The Junkluggers founder Josh "Shuki" Cohen had the lightning-bolt of inspiration. A friend mentioned to Josh that he made $100 hauling away a refrigerator from a neighbor and Josh thought, "Hey, I can do that!"

Upon his return to the U.S., 21-year old Josh hit the streets handing out homemade flyers in his hometown of Fairfield, CT. Soon the phones began to ring, and Josh quickly realized there was a demand for a reliable, professional and eco-friendly removal service.

Armed only with his mom's Dodge Durango SUV and a love for the environment, Josh revolutionized the hauling and removal industry by focusing on environmentally-friendly and community-oriented junk removal practices.

Since 2004, The Junkluggers has grown to a multi-truck, multi-state operation. Through all this growth, The Junkluggers remain dedicated to recycling and Josh's original mission of reliability and eco-friendliness.
