The House of Horrors

Early October of 2016 Junk Munkiez had its biggest and dirtiest job still to date. We received a call from a lady in Washington asking us what we did exactly and what our prices were. By the sound of her voice you could tell she was in a stressful situation. A tenant they had rented their property to became a drug addict, collecting enormous amounts of trash and junk that he apparently though was useful stuff. It wasn't! To make matters worse he was a messy hunter, having a poached bear hide hanging in a shed that was leaking rain water, preventing the hide from ever drying.  When the tenant stopped paying, the lady and her family had the man evicted but that didn’t stop him from returning. He’d continue living there by breaking into the property which was easy to do considering how far away the family was and the fact the house was far out from the city.  They eventually found out, turned off the power to the house and had a restraining order filed against h...

Are You A Hoarder?

Are you a hoarder ?  Some people jokingly say they are but for some it's a serious mental disorder and need help from psychologists to defeat the issue.  Some allow it to get so out of control that they physically can no longer live in their home. They've literally packed their home to the ceiling. Once the home can no longer hold any more belongings they'll start filling their yard with what they consider useful items.  This undoubtedly attracts negative attention from neighbors who eventually complain to the city about it. Once it catches the attention of the code enforcement office you'll be forced to deal with the issue soon or else they can start fining you and eventually even put a lien on the property.  Although some hoarders may believe it's not any of their neighbors business what they have on their property it does have a direct impact on them. Hoarding your property to the point it is visible from outside decreases the value of homes a...

Junk Munkiez Vision

By now, many Eugene and Springfield, Oregon residents are beginning to understand who we are and what we do. We've been hauling customers' junk to donation, recycling, and to the Lane county dump facilities since June of 2016. We started out very small. We only had one old 1998 Penske moving box van. That had been bought and used by other companies and eventually to a private owner. We bought it from a lady that lived in a tiny town just a few miles North East of Lincoln City called Otis, Oregon. We found her listing on Craigslist and payed her $2,100 to take it off her hands. It wasn't in the best of shape, it had over 297,000 miles, and had some repairs it needed before it was street legal. After spending about $800 to get it up to par we were excited to get to work! Only problem, no one knew who we were! With no experience in business management, marketing, and everything else in between we struggled to find work in the beginning.  The Hatcher brothers and Derek...
