Always Free Estimates, Always Fair Pricing
Here’s our promise: What we quote is what you pay. Period.
No “space in truck” pricing that somehow multiplies when we’re done loading. No surprise fees that appear after we’ve hauled your stuff away. No pressure tactics or “this price is only good for the next 20 minutes” nonsense.
Just honest, upfront pricing from people who’ve been doing this long enough to know what things actually cost.
Most residential pickups can be estimated over the phone or with photos. Complex cleanouts get free on-site estimates with no obligation to book. We accept Venmo, cash, and checks. We can also coordinate with insurance companies when situations involve covered damage.

Family-Owned Junk Removal Experts
Fast & Easy Junk Removal
We’re not just the oldest locally-owned junk removal company in Mid-Missouri, we’re the most trusted. Recommended by neighbors who’ve watched us transform their most overwhelming spaces into clean, organized environments they can’t wait to use again.
Licensed, Insured, & Locally Trusted
We’re the original MrJunk®, not a franchise, not some fly-by-night operation. Dax started this company in Columbia back in 2005, and we’ve been building our reputation one satisfied customer at a time ever since.

Keeping Missouri & Illinois Cleaner & Greener
We don’t just haul your stuff away and call it a day. After 20+ years in this business, we’ve built partnerships with local charities throughout Missouri and Illinois because we know that one person’s junk is often another family’s treasure. Here’s what actually happens to your stuff: We donate what we can to local organizations, recycle electronics and metals properly, and dispose of the rest responsibly at licensed facilities. Because keeping our communities clean isn’t just good business, it’s what we do!
We’re strong, but we’re not hazmat specialists. Items like lead paint, asbestos, medical waste, chemicals, and other hazardous materials need specialized disposal through certified facilities. We also skip anything with active pest infestations, live electrical connections still wired into your house, and materials that require special permits we don’t carry. But here’s the thing – if we can’t take it, we’ll point you toward the right disposal solution. Most communities have hazardous waste collection events, and we know the proper facilities to recommend.
