Revolutionize Junk Removal By Weight
Pay only for the actual weight of the items hauled away with a transparent, scalable franchise model.
Brand overview
JunkStart is disrupting an outdated industry by replacing vague volume-based pricing with a proprietary pay-by-weight system. Founded by Daniel McCarty, the brand was built to solve the inconsistent and opaque estimates that plague junk removal. Franchisees operate a scalable business designed to quickly grow into a fleet of multiple trucks, owning their labor pool and equipment to run as true business owners rather than just salespeople.
