How to Market Your Junk Hauling Business
You've got the truck, the team, and the determination to run a successful junk removal business. Now, you need customers; and that starts with effective marketing. At TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK® , we make that part simple. You're not starting from zero. With a trusted, nationally recognized brand already behind you, people know your name and associate it with professionalism, trust, and results.
From the moment you launch, you benefit from the work that's already been done, like our established brand guide that outlines fonts, logo usage, color palette, and tone of voice. You don't have to guess what your marketing should look or sound like. We've created the tools. You just put them to work.
Even better, you're never on your own. Our team of marketing, graphic design, and social media experts supports you every step of the way with budget help, customizable materials, and clear strategies that drive local results.
1. Get Found Online and Fast
Most customers start their search for junk removal online. That's why we build a mobile-friendly website for each franchise, optimized for local SEO. When someone searches "junk removal near me" or "garage cleanout in [your city]," you want to appear and look trustworthy.
Your site will be fast, clear, and professional, with content that speaks directly to what customers need. Even better, it's aligned with our brand identity so everything feels consistent and reliable.

We also create your Google Business Profile (GBP) , a critical step. A fully updated GBP with photos, reviews, and current info improves search visibility and gives customers instant confidence.
2. Launch With Custom Marketing Materials
You don't need to start from scratch. We've done the heavy lifting already. Our in-house graphic design team provides branded, ready-to-use materials for postcards, door hangers, email campaigns, and digital ads; all customizable for your market and goals.
We also guide you in setting a marketing budget that aligns with your local needs. From day one, you'll know what to spend and where to spend it to get results.
3. Social Media: Easy, Consistent, and Local
Social media helps build trust, attract new customers, and show your team's personality. But posting regularly can feel overwhelming, so we simplify it for you.
We create a Facebook Business Page for every location and manage 1–2 branded posts per week to keep your presence fresh and professional. Want to reach a wider audience? You're welcome to set up an Instagram account too.
In addition, your page should create 2–3 local, personalized posts each week. These might include before-and-after photos, team spotlights, donation stories, or community involvement. We'll help you brainstorm content ideas and offer how-to videos if needed.
These posts help your business feel real and approachable, and build lasting local connections. In fact, 83% of consumers like when brands show personality on social media. Humor, honesty, and friendliness are the top personality traits that attract engagement. (Sprout Social)
4. Make Reviews Easy for Customers
Good reviews build credibility and improve search rankings. We make it easy for your customers to leave them. Before your official launch, we'll send custom QR code stickers to place on the back of your crew's tablets. After each job, the customer can simply scan the code with their mobile device and it takes them directly to your Google review page.
We also send follow-up texts and encourage review requests after service. The more reviews you collect, the stronger your business appears, and the higher your chances of getting new leads.
Fact: 87% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses. (BrightLocal)
Because your Google Business Profile is fully set up by us, these reviews instantly boost your visibility and credibility in local searches.
5. Be Seen in the Community
In-person marketing matters. Sponsoring a local event, joining your Chamber of Commerce, or helping with a neighborhood cleanup puts your brand front and center. We provide branded signage and materials to make sure your team shows up looking polished and prepared.
Local partnerships with real estate agents, property managers, or senior living communities also lead to steady referrals. When your marketing is backed by a professional brand and a solid reputation, your relationships have more impact.
