History

Established in 2004.

While studying abroad in Australia, our founder Josh «Shuki» Cohen had the lightning-​bolt of inspiration for the Junkluggers. 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, we have grown to a multi-​truck, multi-​state operation, employing a staff of nearly forty. Through all this growth, however, we have remained dedicated to recycling and Josh’s original mission of reliability and eco-​friendliness.
