505-Junk

What 505-Junk does

505-Junk is a privately held, British Columbia-based junk removal company founded in 2011 in South Delta and now operating across the Greater Vancouver and Lower Mainland region. The company's core offering is a pay-by-weight junk removal service delivered through a fleet of 9-12 specially modified trucks equipped with Measurement Canada-certified onboard weighing systems, which charge customers based on exact weight removed rather than the volume estimates typical of the category. Pricing is structured in four accessibility-based service tiers (Pull-Up, Outside, Inside, Apartment) at $0.49-$0.76 per pound on top of a $99 base rate, with additional surcharges for items such as mattresses, tires, paint cans, and drywall. 505-Junk serves two primary customer segments: residential/homeowners needing furniture, appliance, yard waste, and cleanout services, and commercial/construction clients (including property managers and contractors) requiring on-demand debris removal with LEED documentation support. The business is accessed primarily through phone-based inside sales (604-505-5865) and a self-serve online booking platform (vonigo), with no third-party resellers or intermediaries. The company differentiates on transparent weight-based pricing, a same-day 7-day service model, and a sustainability program that diverts 80%+ of collected items from landfills through partnerships with the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver, and local transfer stations. Ownership is founder/private, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and the company has grown incrementally from a single South Delta operation to a multi-location Vancouver/Richmond/Delta footprint over 13 years.
