Our Story
How it all got started -
Turning Junk Into Opportunity!
​
Hi there! I’m Ivan, a Paramedic and the proud founder of Junk Monkey Junk Removal and Recycle, Austin’s go-to solution for fast, reliable, and eco-friendly junk removal services. Whether you’re decluttering your home, clearing out an office, or tackling a big cleanup project, we’re here to help!
Back in 2018, right here in Austin, Texas, this journey began with a simple idea, a lot of determination, and a father-son duo: my 15-year-old son Jacob and me. Armed with a pickup truck and a can-do attitude, we started small, offering local junk removal services to our neighbors. Word spread about our reliable and friendly approach, and soon Junk Monkey Junk Removal & Recycling became a trusted name for decluttering.
