The Junk Trunk

What The Junk Trunk does

The Junk Trunk is a Denver-based waste management and site services company founded in 2016 by Nathan Schweid, operating a fleet of seven trucks and a 30+ person crew across the Colorado Front Range. The company started as a single-truck residential junk hauling service and has expanded into a multi-line provider offering roll-off dumpster rentals in 11, 15, 20, and 30-yard sizes, full-service junk removal, temporary chain-link fencing installation and rental, and portable toilet rentals billed monthly. Its core product strategy is to bundle these four services into a coordinated Site Services package that gives builders and contractors a single vendor relationship for job-site waste and sanitation, replacing the typical multi-vendor coordination burden.

The business is built on a transactional service model with volume-based pricing: junk removal jobs range from $149 for a single item to $588 for a full truck load, dumpsters from $360 to $425 with included tonnage and overage fees, fencing at $3.60 per foot installed plus monthly rental, and portable toilets at $210 per month with weekly servicing. A subscription-style recurring component exists via portable toilet contracts, while a Commercial Portal supports repeat business from property managers, real estate teams, and contractors. The technology stack is deliberately lightweight: scheduling and dispatch run on Workiz, the website provides online booking and quote forms, and the recently announced CommanderAI partnership layers AI-driven prospect identification and email outreach onto a sales motion previously run manually.

The company serves two primary customer segments, residential homeowners and commercial builders/contractors, with secondary segments in property managers, real estate teams, remodelers, and event organizers. Distribution is regional and direct, anchored by a phone dispatch line promising a response within one hour, a content marketing footprint built around Google Reviews (4.9 stars across 1,900+ verified reviews) and an educational blog, and a Habitat for Humanity donation partnership that routes reusable items from jobs into local donation channels. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and founder-operated with no disclosed institutional investment.
