ABOUT US

MEET LAURA CHAVEZ

Chief Lugging Officer

Laura Chavez launched the Junkluggers of Austin in late 2017. Her focus has been creating a “for purpose” organization that is dedicated to giving back to the Austin community. The furniture and junk removal business is highly fragmented in Travis County.

Because of this, there are significantly different customer experiences when it comes to junk hauling. The Junkluggers of Austin is focused on donating usable items, re-purposing or recycling. Not only does this strategy help members of the Austin community, but it also reduces the number of items that end up in the landfill. It is Laura’s vision to reduce the amount of items sent to the local landfill by 80%. Our work highly values our Green Guarantee.

DONATION RECEIPTS

Our mission and passion are to keep items out of the landfill. Many of the items that we pick up are still useable. Why not let us try to donate? We sort items. Our priority is to donate first, then recycle if we can’t donate. We want to help our environment while helping others. Items that cannot be donated, recycled or upcycled will be discarded. Helping others and helping the environment is our focus. If we can donate on your behalf, you will receive a tax-donation receipt within 14 days of donating. Potentially, some or all of your cost could be offset.

* Ultimately, each donation partner have the final say in what items they will accept. We cannot guarantee your items will be donated and a donation receipt provided. We work hard to find a donation partner for your items.

We are on time.

It’s that simple. If we are less than 30 minutes late, we will provide you with a 5% discount. If we are more than 30 minutes late, we will provide a 10% discount.

* This time guarantee doesn’t apply for same day bookings or appointments that have been changed.

Free, no haggle price quote.

Once you agree to your quote, we guarantee the final price will never be more than the price originally quoted! Sometimes you will even pay less if your items fill up less space in our trucks than estimated. You never have to worry about paying more than your quote.
