In the last few years, the junk removal industry has exploded — and it’s not slowing down. What used to be a few local hauling crews has turned into a crowded field of national franchises, app-based startups, and part-time pick-up services all fighting for your attention.


So what’s driving all this growth? And how can you tell which junk removal company is actually right for you?


Let’s break it down.


Why Junk Removal Is Booming

Across the country — and right here in Barron, Polk, St. Croix, Chippewa, Washburn & Sawyer Counties — more people are:


  • Downsizing or relocating

  • Settling estates

  • Upgrading furniture & appliances

  • Cleaning up after storms or renovations


That means more junk to haul, more demand for fast service, and more opportunity for big companies to jump in.

Franchises vs. Local Pros – What’s the Difference?

Big national brands can be flashy. They often have slick websites, recognizable logos, and tons of ads. But here's what they don’t always have:




  • Local knowledge

  • Flexible pricing

  • Real relationships with recycling and donation centers

  • A familiar face who actually shows up and gets the job done right


At Junk Busters, we’re proud to be a family-owned, Western Wisconsin original. No call centers. No mystery pricing. Just fast, friendly service from folks who live here — just like you.
