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 personal 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.

In less than three years, Junk Punks has grown to a team of over 40 Punks and a fleet of more than 12 branded trucks. Today, Junk Punks has earned over 3,500 five-star reviews while serving thousands of satisfied customers. Through relentless execution and a commitment to excellence, it has established itself as one of the fastest-growing full-service junk removal companies in the US.

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.
