ABOUT US · FAMILY OWNED · EST. 2021

A Family-Owned Crew Serving the Phoenix Valley

The short version: Garrett and his family started Around Town Junk Removal in August 2021 so they could build something of their own and spend more time together. A close family friend had done well in the same line of work and talked them into it. They learned the ropes, picked up their first jobs, and by March 2022 were full-time. They have not looked back.

THE SHORT VERSION

Built to spend more time together

Garrett and his family started Around Town Junk Removal in August 2021 so they could build something of their own and spend more time together. A close family friend had done well in the same line of work and talked them into it. They learned the ropes, picked up their first jobs, and by March 2022 were full-time. They have not looked back.

Megan Frix, Garrett's wife, runs the business alongside him, and the two of them are the reason customers keep using the same name in their reviews. When you call, you are talking to the people who own the truck.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We take the heavy, awkward, and unpleasant work off your plate. You point at what needs to go, we show up in a marked truck with a uniformed crew, and we take it away. Simple.

DONATE FIRST, LANDFILL LAST

We also try to keep usable things out of the landfill. Furniture and household goods in good shape go to Goodwill or to neighbors who can use them. It is better for the community and better for the desert we all live in.

What we haul

Furniture · Appliances · Mattresses · Hot tubs · Tires · Trash & debris · Construction debris · TVs · Treadmills · plus full garage, storage unit, shed, estate, and hoarding cleanouts.

What we do not haul

Hazardous waste, liquid paint, and chemicals. Those need specialized handling.

ROC #363692

ARIZONA REGISTRAR OF CONTRACTORS

Licensed for more than hauling

Our license covers demolition as well as junk removal. That means we can tear down and haul off a shed, a slab, a playhouse, or an outdoor kitchen, and clean up the mess after. Most local haulers cannot do the demolition side legally. We can.
