Who: We are a group of sustainability lovers on a mission to make rubbish clearance cheaper, faster and more sustainable.
What: an online marketplace that matches people who want to get rid of junk to the nearest licensed waste carrier or reuser with capacity to collect it. We promote proximity to reduce carbon footprint of pickup. We simplify process and payment to remove hassle and inefficiency. We provide a visual gallery to enable price benchmarking and greater reuse.
How: Create a free listing in less than a minute. A few photos, a quick description, whether it can be reused, and a price you want to pay for it to be removed. Nearby collectors registered on the platform can claim your listing at that price or offer an alternative. Nearby reusers can offer to collect it for free. Once a match is agreed, the collector or reuser does the pickup and payment for the collection is via the app. LoveJunk ensures waste collectors are properly licensed and insured and that only verified disposal facilities used.
Why: Unscheduled waste collection is an opaque and inefficient market where customers regularly overpay, collectors drive unnecessary miles, reusable items end up being destroyed, and illegal operators continue to flourish. We want to get rid of all of that rubbish and clean up the junk removal business.
Mission & Vision: Our mission is to make rubbish clearance cheaper, faster and greener. Our vision is to be the button you press to get rid of anything too big for the bin.
