About Us

What

LoveJunk is a marketplace for waste removal and reuse. We match customers to waste collectors and junk reusers, enable payment, and document disposal.  By leveraging proximity savings, underutilised capacity, and image based dynamic pricing we reduce distance driven per collection, maximise resource efficiency, save people time, reduce prices and improve material recovery and reuse.

 

How

Create a LoveJunk listing. It’s free to do and takes seconds. A few photos, a quick description and when you want it collected. Nearby licensed waste collectors (and junk reusers if your item is labelled as potentially reusable) compete to collect. Review their offers and reviews. Choose the best for you. Once a match is agreed, the collector does the pickup and payment for the collection (it's free of a junk reuser collects) is processed securely via the platform.  LoveJunk ensures waste collectors are properly licensed and insured, that all communication and payment is secure and private, and that waste is disposed of at appropriately permitted disposal facilities.

 

Why

Bulky waste removal is an opaque, supplier led and logistically inefficient market where customers regularly overpay, collectors drive unnecessary miles, recoverable material ends up destroyed, and illegal operators still flourish. We want to get rid of all of that and clean up the rubbish removal business.

 

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to make junk removal cheaper, faster and greener for everyone.

Our vision is for LoveJunk to be the first and last place you go for junk removal.
