About us

WE STARTED THIS BECAUSE "come out and look first" IS THE WORST.

Send Junk Photos is a family-owned Tampa Bay junk removal company. We built the photo-first workflow because the old way — strangers in your driveway, vague quotes, ghosted appointments — wastes everybody's time.

HOW WE GOT HERE

The first version of this business was a landscaping crew with a trailer. After enough side requests to "haul this couch while you're here," we noticed something: every customer hated the part where they had to schedule a separate visit just to get a price. We did too.

So we tried something simple. Just send us a photo. We'll tell you the price. If you like it, we'll come haul it. No second visit, no creepy-stranger-in-the-driveway energy, no waiting around for an estimator.

It worked. Customers said yes faster. We could quote ten jobs in the time the old way took to quote one. Within a year, every job started with a text message and a photo. We renamed the whole thing Send Junk Photos.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The price we text is the price you pay.

That's it. No fuel surcharges, no stair fees, no "oh, we didn't see that one." If we quote $189, you pay $189. If we somehow get it wrong on our end, that's our problem — not a number we sneak onto your bill.

Donate first, dump last.

About 64% of what we pick up gets a second life. Furniture in usable shape goes to Metropolitan Ministries and Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Electronics get recycled through certified e-waste vendors. Mattresses get broken down for recycling at our local processor. The landfill is the last option, never the first.

We show up when we say we will.

Two-hour pickup windows, real ETA texts when we're 30 minutes out. If we're running late, you hear about it from us, not from the dispatcher five minutes after we should have arrived. If we no-show, your job is free.

Real people answer the phone.

Marcus and Tasha handle our texts and calls — not a chatbot, not a 1-800 franchise call center two states away. They've each personally hauled a few hundred jobs across Tampa Bay. They know what fits in a half-truck and what doesn't.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

  • Photo quotes: Skip the in-home estimate. Most quotes texted back in 15 minutes.
  • Fixed pricing: The number we text is the number you pay. Period.
  • Same-day pickup: Photos texted before 11 AM usually mean same-afternoon pickup.
  • Licensed & insured: Florida-licensed junk hauler with $1M general liability.
  • Donation-first: We sort, donate, and recycle before anything sees a landfill.
  • Background-checked crew: Uniformed, name-tagged. They leave it cleaner than they found it.

SERVING ALL OF TAMPA BAY

Our purple-shirted crew runs out of Tampa, but the coverage map stretches from Clearwater and St. Petersburg across the bay to Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and most of Hillsborough and Pinellas County. See the full service area →
