About Penguin Junk Removal

Locally owned junk removal in Metro Detroit, MI. Built to be the easiest call you make this week.

Penguin Junk Removal is a local, family-run junk removal company serving Metro Detroit, MI and the broader Southeast Michigan area — Detroit, Royal Oak, Troy, Birmingham, Ann Arbor, Bloomfield Hills, and the rest of the metro. We started because every junk-removal call we ever made felt sketchy — surprise fees, no-show appointments, crews who weren't sure what they could take. We built the opposite: clear pricing, friendly people, and a real promise to put donations and recycling ahead of the landfill.

Whether it's a single mattress or a whole-house cleanout in Metro Detroit, the goal is the same: show up on time, do the work right, leave the space cleaner than we found it.

What we stand for

The principles every job is run on

  • Honest pricing

    On-site quotes before we lift a thing. No surprise fees, ever.

  • Donate first

    Anything reusable goes to local charities before anywhere else.

  • Background-checked crews

    Uniformed, drug-tested, and trained to respect your home.

  • Same-day, when we can

    We work around your schedule, including weekends.

  • Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

  • Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

  • We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.
