A Louisville crew that actually shows up.
We're a small, locally owned hauling and cleanout company built on a simple promise: be on time, work hard, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Built right here in the 502.
502 Junk Dept. was founded by Hunter Rowe for the simple reason that Louisville needed a hauling crew you could actually count on. The big national franchises rotate crews every six months. The handyman-with-a-trailer shows up two days late, charges by guess, and leaves the half-empty cans in the alley.
We split the difference. We're professional — uniforms, written quotes, real insurance, full-size dump truck — but we're also local. Hunter answers the phone. The same crew that quotes the job is the crew that shows up. We live here, we work here, and our reputation is the only thing we've got going.
That's how a brand-new company became Louisville's 5.0-star, 195-review junk removal crew in under two years. We show up, we work hard, and we treat every job — a single mattress, a full estate, a hoarder house, a deck demo — like it's the only one on the calendar.

Built on showing up.
