The Junkluggers is an eco-conscious junk removal franchise on a mission to make sustainable disposal the industry standard. The brand was founded in 2004 by Josh Cohen in Fairfield County, Connecticut, with one SUV and a simple goal: help people declutter responsibly by donating, recycling and rehoming items instead of sending them to landfills. What started as a local side hustle evolved into a national network of purpose-driven business owners committed to environmental stewardship and community impact. The company began franchising in 2012 and joined the Authority Brands family in 2023, combining founder-led culture with world-class operational infrastructure. Today, The Junkluggers operates more than 150 locations across the United States.
This is a really common question and certainly the right one to ask first. At The Junkluggers, we stand behind our model and we provide a Financial Performance Representation in Item 19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document, which all candidates will receive during the process. You also have the ability to connect with existing franchisees.
