Summary
Junk Teens says it is on track for more than $5 million in 2026 revenue after reaching $3 million in 2025 and nearly seven figures in 2023.
A little over $80,000 for a dump truck in early 2022 became the key inflection point, letting the brothers handle about eight times more volume than their original Ford F-150.
Kirk and Jacob McKinney started the business in 2021 with pooled savings, a $4,000 pickup and word-of-mouth jobs after Kirk began reselling discarded speakers and working with junk-removal crews.
Today, the company operates from Norwood into Cape Cod, the North Shore and Rhode Island with about 25 employees, seven dump trucks and more than 500,000 social-media followers.
The brothers say fast response times, clear communication and branding around their age helped them stand out in a low-barrier, highly competitive junk-removal market.
