JunkStart was built to bring honesty, transparency, and real clarity to an industry that’s been guessing its way through pricing for years. Most junk removal brands still rely on vague volume estimates and “truck size” charts that leave customers wondering what they’re actually going to pay. We flipped that script.

JunkStart uses a pay-by-weight pricing model that removes the guesswork. Customers know exactly what they’re paying for, and franchise owners get a cleaner, more predictable model to run their business on. No haggling. No fuzzy estimates. No nonsense.

We’re a Texas-born brand with a growing presence and a clear mission: make junk removal fair, fast, and easy for customers, while giving franchise owners the tools, systems, and coaching to build a serious, profitable business.

Why the Model Works

The industry continues to grow as both homeowners and businesses look for fast, reliable junk removal. The problem is trust. Customers don’t like unclear pricing or surprise add-ons, and franchise owners don’t like inconsistent job sizes or unpredictable revenue.

Pay-by-weight solves both. It’s measurable, transparent, and simple to explain. It also gives owners real data to run their operation: average pounds per job, route efficiency, crew productivity, revenue per truck, and more. Better data drives better decisions, and better decisions lead to stronger results.

What You Get as a JunkStart Owner

We don’t hand you a binder and disappear. Owners get hands-on onboarding in San Antonio, on-site launch support, proven marketing and operations playbooks, and ongoing coaching tied directly to KPIs that matter. We focus on the fundamentals: profitability, productivity, safety, service, and retention.

You’ll run your business from a light-industrial or commercial space that houses your equipment and branded JunkStart trucks. Your team will follow a clear operating system designed to reduce chaos, eliminate wasted steps, and keep your trucks producing.

We’ve built strong partnerships with marketing, technology, and operational vendors so owners don’t have to waste time hunting down resources. Our marketing and sales engines continue to expand, and owners benefit from the brand’s growth, visibility, and momentum.

Who We’re Looking For

JunkStart owners aren’t just buying a truck. They’re building a real business. Ideal candidates have leadership experience, strong people skills, and the desire to build and develop a team. You don’t need junk removal experience. You do need the drive to take ownership of your market and build a business that reflects your standards.

We value honesty, work ethic, and coachability. If you want a franchise that cuts through the noise, provides clear pricing, and gives you systems that actually help you grow, you’ll fit right in.

A Different Kind of Franchise Experience

Emerging brands usually feel like the Wild West. We operate differently. Our leadership team brings decades of franchising and waste management experience across operations, marketing, and brand development. We’ve built playbooks, launch processes, and coaching rhythms that keep owners supported and never guessing at what comes next.

Our fee structure is simple, our expectations are clear, and our goal is shared success. When owners win, the brand wins.

If you’re looking for a franchise that respects your time, treats you like a business partner, and gives you a model built on transparency, JunkStart might be the right fit.
