Josh “Shuki” Cohen

It was while studying in Australia, during a semester break from the University of Connecticut that the idea for The Junkluggers came to him.

The year was 2004, and upon his return to the U.S., 21 year old Josh “Shuki” Cohen hit the streets handing out homemade flyers all around town. Soon
the phones began to ring off the hook. Armed only with his mom’s Dodge Durango SUV and a love for the environment, Josh began a company that would
soon lead the industry in environmentally friendly and community oriented junk removal practices.

A graduate from UConn business school and an avowed “tree-hugger”, Josh’s innovative ideas and passionate leadership skills have made The Junkluggers
one of the fastest growing young enterprises on the East Coast.

While the company continues to expand into new territories throughout the U.S., Josh still believes it is extremely important to not lose sight of
his original goals and ideals:

  • Striving to promote an eco-friendly approach toward junk removal
  • Reducing landfill waste
  • Giving back to the community
  • Helping those in need
  • Creating a happy work environment for others
