Origin Story

Junk Punks was founded in October 2022 in Tampa Bay, Florida, by business partners Ryder Radke and Logan Sullivan. What began with Ryder’s Chevy Tahoe with 200,000 miles, a $2,500 trailer, and a shared vision has quickly grown into one of the fastest-rising junk removal companies in the country.

The idea for Junk Punks first sparked when Logan, while working at a property management company, noticed how poorly a junk removal vendor had handled a project — from messy communication to unclear invoicing. It was clear the industry needed a change. Logan had envisioned the name and brand “Junk Punks” more than a year before launch, and when he and Ryder moved from Wisconsin to Florida in September 2022, they set out to bring that vision to life. Less than a month later, Junk Punks officially opened for business in Tampa Bay.

From day one, Ryder and Logan weren’t just hauling junk — they were building a company rooted in professionalism, teamwork, and culture. Starting out in the field themselves, they created systems, recruited strong leaders, and set a standard that every crew still follows today: never back down from a challenge and always put the customer first.

At Junk Punks, our mission is clear: to become the largest and best junk removal company in the industry. We’re not just here to grow — we’re here to set the standard for what junk removal should be: reliable, professional, and people-focused.
