About Us

Doug and Paula Lewis started JunkAway after researching the junk removal industry as well as other business opportunities for a long time. It was important to them to have a business that could be compatible with their family life while supporting them financially. In addition, it was vital the business would allow them to achieve their charitable ambitions.

They discovered that junk removal was definitely under-served and in need of a caring, professional company. It was clear early on that customers have strong attachments to their "things" and they needed a company that could be sensitive to that. They also realized quickly that growth for their company would be best served through franchising. Partnering with like-minded business owners and bringing their expertise to someone else's dream of business ownership was clearly the way to go for them. They recognized that franchisees have the same drive and ownership in the business gives them more commitment.

At JunkAway, we provide you the process you need to be successful, the tools to get started, and the programs to make the business function well.
