Built one job at a time.

Junk Genius was started by Mike Reimann, an owner-operator and former professional hockey player. For about 15 years, Mike has been building the company one job at a time: fair pricing, clear communication and a better way to handle the things you no longer need.
Mike is still involved in the day-to-day business — on job sites, meeting customers for estimates, answering calls and helping the team. Show us what needs to go. We handle the rest.

From the rink to the job site

A former professional hockey player, Mike brought hard work, teamwork, accountability and doing the job right into business. He’s not just behind a desk. You may see him on a job site, meeting a customer for an estimate, talking on the phone or helping with day-to-day operations. That’s the way he wants it to stay.

Simple, on-site pricing

When we arrive, we look at everything that needs to go and give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we actually take away. If you like the price, we do the job. No complicated guessing about truck space or trips.

The Junk Genius Hat Trick

In hockey, a hat trick means scoring three goals in one game. At Junk Genius, we have our own version: Show Up. Do It Right. Haul It Away.

Show Up.

Be there when we say we’ll be there and communicate with our customers along the way.

Do It Right.

Treat every customer, property and job with professionalism and respect.

Haul It Away.

Take care of the heavy lifting and leave unwanted items where they belong — out of your way.

Three simple things. One Genius way of doing business.

Homeowners & families

From a single bulky item to a complete cleanout, we put the Genius to work for you.

Businesses & multifamily communities

Better service, better communication and a better way to haul it away.

Fast and very good communication. Cleaned out some debris I have been looking at for months. Well worth the price for getting it gone quickly. Saved me a day of doing it myself. Thank you!

Sosa and Diego did a wonderful job! We ended up having more junk than we initially planned, but they were accommodating and kind. They got done very quickly but still managed to do a very thorough job. I would recommend this company.

Sosa and Diego did an incredible job on my garage. I had bought a house and the seller had left all sorts of junk in the garage including an old fridge and many mattresses. They were able to work with me to get it done fast and affordably. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future work

I had a few places come do estimates, and Junk Genius was definitely the most reasonable. They were also able to switch our day/time when we had something coming up. Big shout out to Lester and Isaiah! They were friendly, respectful of the space, and incredibly efficient!

Donation & recycling

We don't look at everything as garbage. We've built real relationships with donation centers and recycling partners over the years, and we lean on those relationships on every job: usable furniture goes to donation, metal gets recycled, and electronics (one of the biggest parts of what we haul) get broken down and processed the right way instead of landfilled. We can't promise every single item gets saved from the landfill, but it's the first question we ask on every load, not an afterthought.
Our crew doesn't turn over the way a lot of junk removal companies do. Guys stick around for years, and it shows in how the jobs run. We treat each other, and our customers, like family, and once people join this team, they tend to stay. That continuity means the person loading your truck today probably loaded one last month too, and knows the standard we hold every job to.
