Junk King Expands Rule: Now Conquering Junk Removal throughout Metropolitan Detroit
Local Entrepreneur Launches Nation's Junk Removal Customer Satisfaction Leader

This winter, Metropolitan Detroit households and businesses can revel in a royal coronation. The launch of Junk King in the Motor City signals a crowning moment – the beginning of junk removal services in the market that has earned nationwide acclaim for its unrivaled customer service and incomparable eco-friendly approach.
Serving six Detroit-area counties, including Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Lapeer and St. Clair, Junk King’s affordable junk removal services are now available to residents and businesses throughout the region. Local entrepreneur Kent Garibaldi, who transitioned into franchise ownership with Junk King following a successful career in medical device and pharmaceutical sales, heads the operations.
“From the moment my due diligence efforts began on Junk King, I could tell there was nothing else like it in junk removal and it clearly meets an unfilled need as the most professional and eco-friendly brand in the category,” said Garibaldi, a Royal Oak resident. “I am confident that we will make a major difference to the cities and neighborhoods we serve. Junk King is a business that connects well with the priorities of the business and residential communities.”

In addition to the company’s professionalism, eco-friendly recycling and award-winning customer service, businesses and residents alike choose Junk King because of the brand’s state-of-the-art technology systems that allow customers to schedule 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.

“We couldn’t have a better franchisee than Kent in Detroit. He has exactly what it takes to continue the standard of excellence that defines Junk King,” said Michael Andreacchi, CEO and co-founder of Junk King Franchise Systems. “His passion for the business combined with his background in sales and marketing make him a welcome addition to our franchise system.”
Unlike the majority of junk removal services, pricing for Junk King is based on the amount of junk removed. The brand’s trucks are 20 percent larger than the industry average, meaning there is no job it cannot handle.
To support Junk King of Detroit Metro, Garibaldi has leased a large warehouse that facilitates managing, sorting and recycling materials. Sixty percent of the junk collected is recycled, rather than being dropped at landfills.
“The ‘green’ element of the business is a big reason I was attracted to it,” added Garibaldi. “It’s a commitment to the environment that the industry lacks and our customers have a great appreciation for our eco-friendly care and concern.”
Prior to launching Junk King of Detroit Metro, Garibaldi served in key executive-level sales and marketing positions in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. He is leveraging his background in large corporate settings to drive the growth and success of his junk removal business.
