Where It All Started

In the summer of 2015, two brothers-in-law were on their way to New York to watch a Baseball game. One brother was a Government employee, the other a recent college graduate in a sales job that he really wasn’t passionate about. During that two hour car ride they spoke about work and life, and a simple question was asked, “What would you do if you could do anything?”.

This was the seed for an idea that would eventually become Junk Rescue. What grew from this simple question was a company that had two goals in mind – to create opportunities for the everyday person, and to leave our community a better place than we found it.

The rest of 2015 was spent spit-balling ideas, planning, and waiting for the proper licenses to haul trash to come in from the state, and deciding how we’d build our Junk empire. Fast Forward to July of 2016, and our licenses had been approved! Our founders were at a crossroads, was this just a fun thought exercise, or an idea they’d actually move on? They obviously did the sensible thing… they became trashmen.

One month later in August of 2016, Junk Rescue was up and running, based out of Cinnaminson, New Jersey. Our first headquarters was our founder’s bedroom, and our first warehouse was his parent’s shed. The street in front of their house was where we parked our modest 1 truck fleet, and we’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to their neighbors for the constant 6:30 AM wake-ups from our noisy trucks at the time.

Since then, we’ve grown more than we could ever have imagined at the time. We now have a two-building headquarters in Moorestown, New Jersey, and our fleet has grown to 10+ trucks. We’ve expanded into dumspter rentals, light demolition, and we employ more than just heroes.

We never lost sight of our founders original goals, working hard to make our community and those around us a better place than we found it. Through unique partnerships with non-profit organizations, donation centers, diligent source separation, we’re proud to donate nearly 60% of the items we pick up. We are striving to be the most eco-friendly hauling company in the nation.
