Who We Are


At FreshStart Junk, we believe junk removal should be simple, reliable, and responsibly handled. As a locally owned business serving the GTA, our goal is to provide a professional, stress-free experience while reducing unnecessary waste through donation and recycling efforts whenever possible.
FreshStart Junk was founded by friends Ethan Povey and Rudy Boyce after meeting at Trent University. Built on hard work, honesty, and strong customer service, we created the company to help people clear out unwanted items while making a positive impact in the community.
Whether you’re downsizing, renovating, preparing a property for sale, or clearing out commercial space, we understand these projects can feel overwhelming. That’s why we focus on clear communication, punctual service, and treating every property with care from start to finish.
What sets us apart is our commitment to responsible disposal. Whenever possible, we donate usable furniture, household goods, clothing, and other items to help keep reusable items out of landfills and support local organizations.
As an owner-operated business, we take pride in being hands-on with every job. When you hire FreshStart Junk, you’re working directly with the people who built the company — delivering dependable service, attention to detail, and a team that genuinely cares.
Our mission is simple: help people clear space, move forward, and start fresh.
