Junk Shot

Junk Shot was founded in 2008 in Tampa, Florida, by Accelerated Waste Solutions (AWS) with the mission to disrupt and modernize the outdated junk removal industry. The company is built on a tech-first approach, providing customers with the most reliable, convenient, and eco-friendly waste service experience possible.

Junk Shot’s primary differentiator is its patented junk removal app, which is the first and only one of its kind globally. The organization is also notably a Veteran/Minority-led business committed to upholding strong value promises in its service and franchise operations.

Junk Shot operates as a full-service residential and commercial bulk trash removal and hauling company. The range of services is comprehensive, covering home cleanouts, estate cleanouts, electronic waste recycling, and debris removal for construction and demolition projects.

The service experience is centered around the proprietary Junk Shot App, which allows customers to simply snap a photo of their unwanted items, receive an instant, photo-verified quote, and book a pickup quickly. Franchisees utilize custom-built, 18-yard trucks—which are approximately 25% larger than the industry standard—to maximize revenue per load, a concept the company calls “Truck-onomics.”

Junk Shot offers a highly scalable and low-overhead, home-based business model that is designed for maximum profitability and freedom. The system provides multiple revenue streams, focusing on both high-demand residential jobs and recurring B2B contracts with commercial accounts, property managers, and storage facilities, which helps insulate the business from seasonality.

Each franchisee is granted a Protected Territory that typically requires a minimum population of 250,000. Crucially, the system is turnkey, supported by a national call center that manages all incoming booking calls, routing, and customer communication, allowing the owner to focus on sales and management.

Junk Shot is seeking hands-on or semi-absentee entrepreneurs who are motivated by high profit potential and comfortable managing a simple, proven system. No prior experience in junk removal is necessary.

The franchisor looks for candidates with strong people-first leadership and team-building skills, a focus on B2B relationship sales, and an aptitude for technology and data-driven management. Financially, successful candidates must have a Net Worth of at least $250,000 and access to a minimum of $100,000 in Liquid Cash to cover startup costs and working capital.
