Out with the Old: Junk King’s “Dump Truck” Helps the Heartbroken Say Farewell to Exes

SAN FRANCISCO – Love is messy…but this Valentine’s Day, no one will be left down in the dumps.

A battle cry for the brokenhearted, Junk King—the nation’s leading junk removal company—is rallying men and women across the U.S to toss any leftover relationships and heal their heartache once and for all.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Junk King is driving “Dump Trucks” through cities coast-to-coast and empowering people to dump their ex-lover’s forgotten belongings—from picture frames and hoodies to corny gifts and more—into the truck for free. Vibrant red “Dump Trucks” will be making stops at businesses throughout Denver, Dallas and Detroit on February 13-14.

“Breakups are painful and it’s hard to shake the heartache during this time of year,” said Michael Andreacchi, CEO of Junk King. “The Dump Trucks are for anyone that’s ever been dumped or is struggling to move on from a relationship. We want people to feel courageous and free to declutter items that hinder their happiness—it’s therapeutic and almost thrilling to finally let go!”

As part of the brand’s year-round commitment to being environmentally conscious, any items tossed into the Dump Truck are taken to the large warehouse to facilitate managing and sorting of the materials. In fact, sixty percent of the junk collected from jobs is recycled, rather than being dropped at landfills. And through partnerships with local nonprofits and community organizations, the remaining items are donated and repurposed to benefit residents throughout United States.

On a national level, the company’s eco-friendly approach to junk removal is a major reason why businesses and homeowners alike choose Junk King. Customers also benefit from the brand’s state-of-the-art technology systems that facilitate scheduling a pick-up in real time. With the online booking system, all it takes is a few clicks and within a matter of minutes Junk King can be scheduled and the job can be completed.

Taken together, Junk King’s distinctive attributes separate it from its competitors, which are often characterized as unprofessional and unreliable. In fact, Junk King maintains the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) for any service business in North America, a clear indication of the importance the company places on customer satisfaction.
