Looking for reliable junk removal but not sure if we serve your area? Good news—MrJunk® has been expanding across Missouri and Illinois for over 20 years, and we’re probably closer than you think.
We’ll Handle Your Junk while Keeping Missouri and Illinois Cleaner and Greener through responsible disposal, local charity donations, and environmental practices that protect the communities we call home.
Whether your garage is staging a revolt in Columbia, your Lake Ozark property needs seasonal clearing, your St. Louis office requires professional cleanout, or your Metro East Illinois basement has achieved archaeological status—we’ve got local crews who know your community and understand your specific cleanup challenges.
Here’s what makes us different from those national chains with mysterious pricing and faceless service. Each Mr Junk location is locally owned by people who actually live in your area. Dax runs our Missouri operations from Columbia headquarters where it all started in 2005. Chris handles the Lake region. Trevor covers St. Louis and Metro East Illinois.

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. When you call us, you’re getting the team that’s been perfecting junk removal across Missouri and Illinois for over two decades.
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.
MrJunk® Serves Over 100 Areas & Locations In Missouri & Illinois With Local Owners
We’ve been serving Missouri and Illinois since 2005, with local owners who actually live in the communities we serve.
