My name is Dave Kocemba and my wife and I started Junk Happens 9 years ago. We began as high school sweethearts while growing up in Cottage Grove, MN. Fast forward and we now have three children and a business we work hard at and are immensely proud of. We are hometown folks who saw a need for someone to haul away the no longer needed items that accumulate in daily life. Perhaps more importantly, as born and bred locals we saw a need to take a strong stand on the environmental impact our junk hauling service would have. Please take a minute to read our Environmental Statement as we’re pretty proud of the effort and dedication it takes to maintain this high standard.

Our business is not a franchise that has additional fees to pay to the home office. We keep our costs low and pass on the savings to our customers. You can check out what people have to say about our work on our Customer Reviews page or visit our listing on Angie’s List where people leave comments all the time about how much they appreciated the care we took when removing items from their home and the fact that we sweep up behind ourselves before leaving.

We handle both residential and commercial junk removal with the same care and efficiency so as to have a minimal impact on your home or work day. We haul virtually anything you need removed or demolished and disposed of.
