Our Story
Meet Our Founders
Junk Jumpers Junk Removal began with a simple idea and a couple of late nights of hard work. In November 2024, the company officially launched in Madison, Wisconsin, but its roots go back a bit further. Before the brand even existed, Trevor was running junk removal jobs on his own in La Crosse, Wisconsin—renting U-Hauls, taking on whatever jobs he could find, and figuring out through trial and error that the business model actually worked. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was proof that there was real demand for reliable, local junk hauling.
Once Trevor realized there was real money—and even more importantly, real opportunity—in doing it right, he teamed up with Mason Hawkins, who at the time was running Wash and Shine Windows. The two shared a similar mindset: that service businesses in their area were being done the wrong way. They saw competitors who treated junk removal like a quick transaction, not a customer experience. From that frustration came a shared vision—build something different. Not just a junk removal company, but a professional, customer-first team of friendly, reliable haulers that people actually enjoyed doing business with.
What started as a one-man operation with a rented truck in La Crosse quickly evolved into Junk Jumpers Junk Removal, a growing brand rooted in Madison and steadily expanding into places like Janesville and Milwaukee. While still a young company, the foundation was built on hands-on experience, customer focus, and a clear mission to raise the standard in an industry that had long been overlooked.
