Why Portland Chooses Our Veteran-Owned Team
When you choose G.I. Junk Removal for your junk removal and hauling needs, you are supporting the Veterans who own and operate our company. Also, because we are local and independently owned, your money stays right here in our community. When you use a large franchise like 1-800-Got-Junk, College Hunks, Junk Kings, etc, a hefty portion of the money you spend leaves the Portland Metro area for good.
More Than a Haul-Away
We aim to do the job the right way – with thoughtful handling, responsible practices, and care for the communities we serve.
Responsible Removal
Whenever possible, we look for opportunities to sort reusable, recyclable, and salvageable materials so usable items stay in circulation and unnecessary landfill waste is reduced.
Community Impact
Every removal helps create cleaner, safer spaces for homeowners, businesses, and neighborhoods – making it easier for people to move forward.
Serving Portland & Surrounding Communities
We proudly serve homeowners, property managers, businesses, and public agencies across the Portland metro area.
