The Junkluggers hires brand president

The Junkluggers, a Seymour, Connecticut-based junk removal company, has hired Justin Waltz as brand president.

Waltz brings over a decade of experience in the junk removal and franchise industries as well as a passion for the home services sector and sustainability to his role with The Junkluggers and its parent company, Authority Brands. He got his start in the industry as a truck driver for 1-800-GOT JUNK before transitioning to the corporate realm to become a franchise business consultant.

“As brand president of The Junkluggers, my key focuses are to attract top-tier talent and perfect our business model to make us the leading junk removal brand nationwide,” Waltz says. “Joining The Junkluggers is not only an exciting opportunity because of my experience, but because I get to lead a team that shares my values and commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. I’m confident in this talented team’s ability to grow and consistently offer quality services to our clientele. I look forward to further enhancing our services and expanding our footprint to put a green truck on the corner of every community across the country.”

Since assuming the role early this year, Waltz has been building relationships with franchise owners nationwide as well as making significant strides in driving technological innovation in the industry.

The Junkluggers celebrates its 20^th anniversary in June, and the company says it has ambitious plans under Waltz’s leadership to refine its business model as an eco-conscious junk removal company. The company says it remains dedicated to diverting items from landfills through responsible disposal methods, recycling initiatives and partnerships with local charities.
