About Us

Meet Shawn - Nanaimo Born, Nanaimo Trusted.

What started as one truck and a promise to keep waste out of our landfill has grown into Nanaimo's most-awarded moving and junk removal crew. Shawn and his team treat every job - a one-bedroom move or a full estate cleanout - with the same care and professionalism.

Junk In Our Trunk is a true family business. Shawn's son and daughter work right alongside him - from the office to the truck - so when you call, you're trusting a local family that has built its name on showing up, working hard, and treating your home like their own.

Recognized with the Nanaimo Business Awards People's Choice honour and voted Best Moving Company in Nanaimo four times - but the part Shawn is proudest of is the donations and recycling that come off every truck.
