Editorial Review
Our Take on The Junk Trunk
The Junk Trunk pairs a decade of Denver hauling with published prices and a price match. If you rent one of its dumpsters, ask about weight limits first, since that is where the only recent complaint came from.

Company Background
About The Junk Trunk
The Junk Trunk is a good fit when you want a local company with real scale and published prices. Nathan Schweid started hauling in 2016 with his dad's 1998 Ford Ranger while finishing at CU Boulder, and the business now runs seven trucks and more than 30 people from 4771 Fox St, a trades building in the Globeville industrial area. The Google listing shows 4.9 stars from 1,611 reviews, read November 13, 2026.
Junk removal is priced by how much of the truck your items fill, and the rates are on the website: $135 for a single item, $279 for a quarter truck, $408 for half, $513 for three quarters and $588 for a full truck. The company says it discloses mattress, appliance and access surcharges before scheduling and will match a lower written quote. Usable items go to Habitat for Humanity and local charities, and donors get a tax-deductible receipt within 14 business days. The company also works with sober living and reentry programs to hire staff.
Junk is only part of the business. The Junk Trunk rents roll-off dumpsters starting at $360 for an 11 yard box, picks up Bagsters for $185 and rents portable toilets and temporary fencing, so many reviews come from remodelers and builders. Homeowners mention punctual drivers, including Manny, Pablo and Farrell on dumpster drops.
The one recent complaint is about a dumpster, not junk pickup. In October 2026 a customer said an employee encouraged them to keep filling, and the company then billed a weight overage. Dumpsters include 2 to 4 tons depending on size, with $85 per extra ton, so ask about weight before you load heavy debris.
The Junk Trunk suits homeowners who want a clear price list and remodelers who need a dumpster and a haul-away from the same team. It suits people less well who only want a junk crew and no upsell to a container. Colorado has no license for junk haulers, so ask for proof of insurance.
