JUNK TEENS PRESS
Junk Teens is a junk removal company founded by brothers Kirk and Jacob McKinney in Westwood, Massachusetts. What started with a single pickup truck has grown into a seven-figure business, all while the brothers were still in high school. Along the way, they've created jobs for local teens, giving them hands-on work experience and opportunities to build confidence, responsibility and real-world skills. Junk Teens is also committed to keeping usable items out of landfills by donating and repurposing whenever possible. Through their focus on both sustainability and youth employment, the company is making a positive impact in communities across Massachusetts.
