Our story
From the firehouse and the hospital to your driveway
Southside Junk Removal started in 2020 with two people from emergency work, a little lawn equipment, and one promise: do the job right and bring something home to the family every day.

How it started
Two people from emergency work, building something honest
Jordan grew up in Clayton County and went straight from Jonesboro High into the fire department, where he spent three years as a firefighter and EMT-paramedic. His wife, Carmen, is a full-time nurse. Both came from emergency work, where staying steady under pressure and showing up for people is the entire job.
The turning point was small and a little painful. One evening Jordan burned his hand on the stove and could not lift the stretchers his ambulance job required. Those two weeks off the clock became the push to build something of his own.
He started with lawn care and odd jobs, with one rule from day one: keep everything above board and do it the right way. In December 2020, a $175 garage cleanout in Jonesboro turned into the first junk removal job. The calls kept coming.
“After expenses and payroll, my goal was to bring $150 home to my family every single day.”
The journey
Five years, one truck at a time
- Before 2020On the front lines
Firefighting and nursing
Jordan went from Jonesboro High straight into the fire department and spent three years as a firefighter and EMT-paramedic. His wife, Carmen, built her career as a nurse.
- 2020A new direction
A burned hand, a fresh start
An injury and a job that had gone toxic pushed Jordan out of emergency medical work. He picked up lawn care and odd jobs, doing it the right way from the start.
- December 2020The first job
A $175 garage cleanout
A single lead in Jonesboro became the first junk removal job. It clicked, and the work kept coming.
- 2021 to 2022The year that tested us
Trucks, breakdowns, and grit
One truck sat in the shop for seven months. An accident took a brand-new dump truck off the road two weeks after it arrived. They kept the jobs going on a rented truck, and 2021 taught them resilience the hard way. By January 2022 the orange brand came together.

Reflected in the reviews
“Fast service, came out the same day I called. And reasonable pricing. Clear communication, professional, in and out, and I feel so good getting that junk off my hands!”
“Removed some old patio furniture and headboard for me. Process was smooth. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!”
“Southside junk removal was pretty easy to work with. They’re very reasonable with their prices and they do fast work. I wasn’t able to be at home when they arrive and they still handled everything fine and their communication was on point.… Jacuzzi removed water was emptied before hand.”
