Meet the King of Junk Removal in St. Paul
Ed Fogarty is the proud owner of Junk King St. Paul in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ed started out his journey as an entrepreneur by joining Junk King in 2012. To meet recent demand and better serve the community, Ed Fogarty opened a new warehouse and office in St. Paul on May 1st, 2021.
The goal at Junk King St. Paul is to recycle or donate 60% of every junk haul. This goal is much easier for Ed and his experienced team at Junk King St. Paul to consistently meet thanks to the new warehouse. The new warehouse and office allows Ed “good access to the highways” and puts him “closer to the city” for much greater efficiency.
Describing the new warehouse, Ed Fogarty says, “We have 5,000 square feet there. Much of it is open space to process junk that comes in on the trucks. We can bring in our recyclable materials and, for instance, appliances destined to be donated. There are even offices nearby. This has all increased our efficiency tremendously.”
This is a win-win for Ed and the community since Ed sees the new warehouse and office as an investment in the community and “a way to reduce our carbon footprint and get even more efficient, faster, for local customers.” Ed Fogarty continues to provide residential and commercial junk removal throughout the communities of St. Paul and the surrounding areas.
Ed takes pride in working with North America’s ‘greenest’ junk removal company. In fact, Ed and his crew work with multiple metal recyclers and donation centers throughout St. Paul, Minnesota. “Using multiple recycling centers and vendors throughout St. Paul increases the efficiency at Junk King St. Paul even more!”
Efficiency is one way that Junk King has made a name for itself – another critical ingredient is customer service. There are multiple ways to receive a quote for your next residential or commercial junk haul, including:
- Calling 1-888-888-JUNK (5865)
- Texting a photo to 1-737-888-5865

Ed was a CPA and auditor before he went to a private contracting company. He was a chief financial officer before deciding to venture out on his own and answer the call of working with Junk King, and later expanding from Minneapolis to the St. Paul area. Ed believes that a stellar online reputation, a passionate commitment to customer service, bigger trucks, and timely service within a two-hour service window sets Junk King apart from the competition.
One of the things that draws Ed to the Junk King community is helping people and serving the community. “You were helping people get through a project, an issue, or a problem they were having. I love that about Junk King” says Ed. The sheer size of the ‘big red’ trucks at Junk King allows for greater efficiency and for savings to get passed on to customers. Ed says, “They are some of the biggest trucks in the industry of full-service junk removal.” In fact, the trucks at Junk King are now 20% larger and, as always, you will only pay for the space inside that you actually use! “We generally price by volume,” says Ed Fogarty from Junk King St. Paul.

The When, What, and How of Residential Junk Removal St. Paul
The owner of Junk King St. Paul, Ed Fogarty, recently made another investment in the St. Paul community by purchasing a new warehouse in May of 2021. Ed sees it like this: “We have 5,000 square feet there. Much of it is open space to process junk that comes in on the trucks. We can bring in our recyclable materials and, for instance, appliances destined to be donated. There are even offices nearby. This has all increased our efficiency tremendously.”

Ed says that, “Using multiple recycling centers and vendors throughout St. Paul increases the efficiency at Junk King St. Paul even more!” The aim is always great customer service, showing up on time for appointments, and recycling or donating upwards of 60% of every residential junk haul. The new warehouse makes this all easier.

Junk King might be the answer. The massive size of the ‘big red’ trucks at Junk King allows Ed and his team to pass along savings to customers through more efficient junk removal practices.

Expect a call from Patrick or another experienced member of the crew at Junk King St. Paul right before your appointment!
- Appliance Removal in St. Paul
Residential appliance removal is a popular service at Junk King St. Paul because these bulky appliances can frequently weigh hundreds of pounds. Refrigerators and water heaters, for instance, can weigh four hundred pounds or more, be difficult to move, and be even more difficult to know where to recycle. Certain appliances may not even be eligible for municipal trash pickup.
Junk King St. Paul is proud to be able to help homeowners throughout St. Paul remove the following appliances from their homes:
These appliances can contain steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and other recyclable scrap metals. Fortunately, the new warehouse that Junk King St. Paul owner, Ed Fogarty, purchased in May of 2021 puts him in close contact with multiple metal recyclers and other vendors in St. Paul. That’s what being a part of North America’s ‘greenest’ junk removal company is all about!
- Electronics Removal in St. Paul
Electronic waste (e-waste) can be a head-scratcher to deal with. Oftentimes these items cannot go in municipal trash, where they could eventually do damage to the environment by polluting landfills with harmful heavy metals. It is also not always known to many homeowners where e-waste should, if it can, be recycled.
The good news is that Junk King St. Paul does its best to recycle, repurpose, and reuse the following electronic waste from homes:
- Computers
- Monitors
- Televisions
- Printers
- Copiers
- Shredders
- DVD players
- Video game consoles
- Other e-waste!
While electronic waste can contain harmful heavy metals – such as lead, mercury, and cadmium – electronic waste can also contain valuable metals – such as gold, palladium, silver, and copper. The goal is keeping the ‘bad’ metals out of landfills and the ‘good’ metals in circulation to reduce environmental damage and prevent mining for these metals all over again.
- Yard Waste Removal in St. Paul
Homeowners are frequently pleasantly surprised to discover that Junk King St. Paul takes both ‘organic’ and ‘inorganic’ residential yard waste. In short, ‘organic’ yard waste is sometimes called biological waste because it can be composted, whereas ‘inorganic’ yard waste includes items that cannot always be composted, but can frequently be recycled by Ed Fogarty and his experienced crew at Junk King St. Paul.
Here are examples of ‘organic’ yard waste accepted by Junk King:
- Grass clippings
- Shrubs
- Bushes
- Wood chips
- Branches
- Firewood
- Lumber
- Sod
- Soil
- And much more!
Below are examples of ‘inorganic’ yard waste accepted by Junk King:
- Shingles
- Corrugated iron
- Frames
- Plasterboards
- Windows
- Fencing
- Sheds
- Yard art
- Hot tubs
- And more!
In recent years the owner of Junk King St. Paul, Ed Fogarty, estimates that Junk King recycles or repurposes around “70% or 80%” of every residential junk haul. This means that more of your residential yard waste will be recycled, repurposed, or otherwise responsibly disposed of at the appropriate location in St. Paul. Remember that Junk King is North America’s ‘greenest’ junk removal company!
Estate, Storage, Foreclosure, and Hoarder Cleanouts in St. Paul
Extensive cleanouts can be extremely stressful, even overwhelming, if you attempt to go about it on your own. Where do you even start? One option is calling Junk King at 1-888-888-JUNK (5865), texting a photo of the residential junk you need hauled away to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online to save $20 on orders coming to more than $99. Junk King St. Paul truly takes the stress out of large cleanouts.
Commercial Junk Removal in St. Paul
Ed Fogarty, the owner of Junk King St. Paul, is proud to serve the capital of Minnesota. St. Paul is the most densely-populated county in the state and has a population of around 300,000. Realizing the uptick in demand that providing outstanding B2B services would demand, Ed purchased a new warehouse and offices for Junk King in the heart of the city of St. Paul. Already, this has led to more efficiency by bringing Junk King St. Paul closer to local businesses and recycling centers.
Ed summed up a few of the key benefits of the new warehouse: “We have 5,000 square feet there. Much of it is open space to process junk that comes in on the trucks. We can bring in our recyclable materials and, for instance, appliances destined to be donated. There are even offices nearby. This has all increased our efficiencies tremendously.” That’s great because Minnesota is home to approximately 500,000 small businesses and 16 Fortune 500 companies. Millions of people are employed throughout the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Junk King provides B2B services to the following areas in St. Paul:
- Afton
- Andover
- Circle Pines

- Forest Lake
- Hugo
- Lake Elmo
- Marine On Saint Croix
- Mendota
- Minneapolis
- Newport
- Saint Paul
- St Paul
- St Paul Park
- Stillwater
- Willernie
Ed Fogarty and the crew at Junk King St. Paul can help businesses in a variety of different ways, including by offering the following services:
While handling commercial junk removal on an ‘in house’ basis can oftentimes seem more efficient, the hidden costs can add up. First, you’ll have to sideline one of your workers to handle junk removal. Then, you’ll have to find a big enough dumpster and contrive a way to get it all to the local recycling center or dump. All the while your employees are doing a job they weren’t hired to do!
Instead of all that headache, consider hiring Junk King, a full-service junk removal company that offers the gamut of B2B services and even offers payment plans on business accounts for quicker, easier payments. All of Junk King’s workers are fully insured so you’ll have full peace of mind that your workplace will be protected.
- Office Furniture Removal St. Paul
Businesses today are trying to save money around every corner, and office space isn’t necessarily cheap. You understandably want to get rid of old office furniture to make room for other stuff. Junk King is here to help by offering to take old office furniture from your workplace. With Junk King you will only pay for the space in the truck that you actually use, which leads to huge savings. “We also take care of the environment by properly disposing of all of the junk that we collect at Junk King St. Paul,” says the owner of Junk King St. Paul, Ed Fogarty.
- Property Management Cleanouts St. Paul
The housing market in St. Paul, Minnesota is booming right now and up about ten percent compared to last year. One aspect of real estate, however, that realtors, real estate agents, and property managers know well is that the property is only really worth as much as you can currently get for it. A property that’s filled with junk can’t be shown or rented out, let alone sold, in its current condition. To get more ‘showable’ vacant space, call Junk King at 1-888-888-5865 (JUNK), text a photo to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online for property management cleanouts and get your property one step closer to sale or rent.
- Storage Facility Cleanouts St. Paul
Minnesota is home to more than 700 self-storage facilities, boasting over 22 million square feet of space. Storage facilities can be a lucrative business model that is a win-win for storage facility managers and tenants. The problem is when the tenant stops paying rent or items go unsold at auction. Either scenario requires a storage facility cleanout to get the space in rentable condition for the next customer. Storage facility managers are usually tasked with cleaning out abandoned units. Junk King can make matters much easier since Junk King is full service and the ‘big red’ trucks basically double as dumpsters.
- Construction Debris Removal St. Paul
The owner of Junk King St. Paul, Ed Fogarty, recently purchased a warehouse in the heart of St. Paul, right next to multiple metal recyclers. That’s great news because Ed recycles upwards of two-thirds of the construction debris that he takes from local worksites and renovations. Construction debris usually contains beams, wires, and plumbing fixtures, and construction sites are known for having commercial scrap metals like steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and brass that can find a second life elsewhere. The relationship between Junk King and local metal recyclers makes it easier to help the planet than ever before.
Businesses that Partner with Junk King St. Paul are ‘Going Green’
After purchasing a new St. Paul warehouse and office in May of 2021 Ed is “very excited for the future” with Junk King. “We also take care of the environment by properly disposing of all of the junk that we collect at Junk King St. Paul.” The B2B aspect of Junk King St. Paul is growing thanks to recent changes as well, and there’s no reason that Junk King St. Paul or the businesses it helps needs to sacrifice anything to protect the environment.
Junk King is North America’s ‘greenest’ junk removal company because it recycles up to 60% of every commercial junk haul and does its best to keep harmful materials out of landfills. Scrap metals and other potentially recyclable materials are grouped in the Junk King truck so that they can be piled together at the Junk King warehouse in St. Paul before heading to the recycling plant or getting donated.
If you’re a part of one of the thousands of businesses in St. Paul and you need efficient commercial junk removal, then feel free to call 1-888-888-5865 (JUNK) today or book an appointment and your two-hour service window online. Business owners can truly save green by ‘going green’ with Junk King!
