The guy behind the haul
Meet Jake Higgins
The Junk Guys is owner-operated by Jake Higgins, a Southwest Louisiana local who turned a decade of hands-on construction work into a straightforward junk removal company: call, get a clear price, and watch the junk disappear.
Experience
A Decade in the Trades, Now Hauling Your Junk
Jake has spent roughly the last ten years working hands-on in construction and the trades around Southwest Louisiana. That is personal experience — Jake on job sites, demoing, loading, and moving heavy material — not a claim about how long this company has been around.
The Junk Guys is a new, owner-operated brand, and Jake is upfront about that. What it runs on is his own track record: knowing how to break a job down, protect floors and doorways on the way out, and haul away furniture, appliances, debris, and full cleanouts without tearing your property up in the process.
What we do
We Haul Away Almost Anything
Truck and trailer, ready to roll. We take furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot tubs, sheds, e-waste, yard and storm debris, construction debris, and full garage, attic, property, and estate cleanouts. You point at what you want gone — we do all the lifting and loading. You don't touch a thing.
The one honest exception: hazardous materials. Paint, chemicals, oil, asbestos, ammunition, and medical or biohazard waste need a custom quote and may be refused. We'll always tell you that up front rather than spring it on you on-site.
Credentials
What Stands Behind the Work
Owner-operated
Jake Higgins runs the truck and the trailer — not a franchise, not a faceless call center.
Decade in construction
Roughly ten years of hands-on construction and trade experience. Jake knows how to break down, load, and haul heavy material safely.
Licensed & insured
The Junk Guys is operated by The Garage Guys LLC, fully licensed and insured with general liability coverage.
Local to Southwest Louisiana
Based in Bell City, serving Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, and the rest of Calcasieu and Cameron parishes.
The promise
“You get a firm price before we load anything.”
No hourly meter running, no surprise add-ons. Jake looks at the job, gives you a clear number on-site, and that's the price. Say yes and the junk is gone — usually the same week, often the same day when the schedule allows.
Because the owner is on the job, accountability isn't a policy. It's the same person who quoted you, loaded the truck, and will pick up the phone if anything's off.
Local roots
Why Southwest Louisiana
Jake lives and works here. Southwest Louisiana is home, and that matters — especially after a storm, when piles of debris and ruined furniture stack up faster than the parish can haul them off. We know the area, the dump runs, and what it takes to get a property back to normal.
Based at 171 Mott Road, Bell City, Louisiana 70630, The Junk Guys serves homeowners and businesses across Southwest Louisiana, including Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, Iowa, Bell City, and the surrounding communities of Calcasieu and Cameron parishes.
Looking to transform your garage instead of clearing it out? Our sister company, The Garage Guys, handles garage organization and epoxy floor coatings across Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana.
