    About Us

    Detroit Family,
    Veteran Owned.

    Rooted in Metro Detroit, our company was built on the discipline, service ethic, and can-do spirit learned in the U.S. military. We treat every haul like a mission—show up on time, finish the job completely, and leave the area better than we found it. Choosing us means supporting a local veteran enterprise committed to keeping Southeast Michigan clean and clutter-free.

    Dad and Daughter Operated

    Motor City Junk Removal isn’t a faceless franchise; it’s a hands-on partnership between a father who knows hard work and a daughter who brings fresh energy and organization. You’ll often see both of us on-site, greeting customers, lifting the heavy stuff, and making sure every load is recycled or donated whenever possible. Family service, personalized care—delivered with a smile.

    Up-Front Pricing—No Surprises, Ever

    How our pricing works

    We quote every job by the cubic volume your junk occupies in our truck. You’ll see the price before we load a single item, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The only extras are mandatory recycling surcharges that the landfill bills us for specific items: Item Required recycling fee* Mattresses & box springs $20 each Air-conditioners / refrigerators $25 per unit (Freon removal) Tires $5 per tire TVs & computer monitors $15 each *Fees vary slightly by county landfill; we pass them through at cost—no markup.

    Couches, refrigerators, water heaters, treadmills—if it won’t fit in the SUV, we’ll grab it. Our dad-and-daughter team removes single items from any floor of the house, handles freon recycling for appliances, and routes reusable pieces to local charities whenever possible.
