Let’s Get You Junk-Free — Here’s How to Reach Us
Whether you’ve got a single item to haul or an entire house cleanout, you’re in the right place. Our local Area Owners answer calls and texts themselves, so you’re not getting bounced around a corporate call center where nobody knows the difference between Columbia and Columbus.
Texting is always the fastest. Plus, you can send photos directly to show us exactly what you need removed — sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. But if you prefer to call or email, we’ve got that covered too. Real people, real phones, real solutions.

Prefer to Give Us the Details First? Try Our Junk Removal Request
Sometimes it’s easier to write out exactly what you need removed rather than trying to explain it over the phone. Our Junk Removal Request form lets you get detailed about your project — what items, how many, where they’re located, and when you need them gone.
Here’s how it works:
- Tell us about your specific items or cleanout project
- Share photos if that helps explain the situation
- Let us know your timeline and any special requirements
- We’ll review everything and call you back with a detailed estimate
This works great for:
- Estate cleanouts with lots of different items
- Business projects that need documentation
- Situations where you’re not sure what category your stuff falls into
- Times when you want to think through all the details before talking
Plus, giving us details upfront means we can:
- Bring the right equipment on the first visit
- Give you more accurate pricing over the phone
- Schedule the appropriate amount of time for your project
- Come prepared for any special handling requirements
Complete Our Junk Removal Request, and we’ll get back to you with a personalized estimate. Usually within a few hours, but sometimes faster if you’re dealing with an urgent situation.
When You Reach Out, You Can Expect:
- ✅ Fast replies — usually within minutes during business hours
- ✅ Clear, upfront pricing — no hidden fees or surprises
- ✅ Direct access to your area owner — not some call center
- ✅ Friendly humans, not robots — we actually answer the phone
- ✅ Same-day or next-day scheduling whenever possible

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.
