Junk King

Junk King is a tech-driven, recession-proof logistics franchise operating within a $10 billion industry, allowing franchise owners to act as CEOs/leaders rather than technicians/laborers. Backed by Neighborly, the model boasts 20% larger trucks, 56.3% gross margins, and turnkey support including a centralized call center for high-volume, multi-stream revenue. From its inception, Junk King differentiated itself by introducing a recycling-based hub model. Instead of hauling all collected waste straight to a landfill, workers brought items back to a centralized warehouse to sort through them. The company committed to recycling, donating, or repurposing up to 60% of every haul by building relationships with local non-profits, charities (like Habitat for Humanity), and recycling facilities. Before launching the company in 2005, Founder Mike Andreacchi, worked as a franchise business coach for a major competitor. Mike had a unique perspective to start on organization with improved operations, customer close rates and a focus on sustainability that not only improves unit level economics, but gains customers due to our commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
