Junk Teens Targets $5 Million in 2026 Revenue as Brothers Expand to 25 Employees

1 articles · Updated · Business Insider · Jul 13

$5 million-plus in 2026 revenue is the target for Junk Teens, a Massachusetts junk-removal company started by brothers Kirk and Jacob McKinney that reached $3 million in 2025.
A little over $80,000 for a dump truck in early 2022 became the key inflection point, letting the business haul about eight times more than its original $4,000 Ford F-150 and take on more jobs.
$200,000 in 2022 sales grew to nearly seven figures in 2023 as the brothers added another dump truck, rented a warehouse, and expanded beyond their parents' driveway operation.
25 employees and five dump trucks now support service from Norwood to Cape Cod, the North Shore and Rhode Island, with same-day responsiveness and the teen-founded 'Junk Teens' brand helping it stand out.
500,000-plus social-media followers have added visibility and recruiting reach, underscoring how a resale side hustle from dump finds turned into a multi-market business the brothers hope to scale nationwide.
