Ryan Drobel _{Our Founder}

Ryan isn’t your average business owner — and that’s a good thing.

He’s spent his life doing things his own way: building businesses from the ground up, training hundreds of people in fitness and nutrition, and working with his hands every step of the way. He’s owned gyms, installed window coverings, and even biked across the country (and across Europe) just for the challenge of it.

With Junk Robbers, Ryan brings that same no-nonsense, hard-working attitude to junk removal. He believes in doing things right, treating customers with respect, and showing up ready to help — every single time.

He’s not afraid of a little dirt, a heavy lift, or a tough job. What matters to him is getting things done the right way, reducing waste whenever possible, and leaving people better off than he found them.

Junk Robbers isn’t just a business to Ryan — it’s personal. Built from experience, fueled by purpose, and run with heart.

Stacy, co-owner and operations at Junkrobbers, ensures every Chicago junk removal and hauling job runs like clockwork.

Since partnering with her husband, Ryan, in 2021, Stacy has transformed the chaos of Chicago junk hauling into a stress-free experience. Whether routing trucks to Lakeview or solving last-minute needs in Schaumburg, her quick thinking and warm approach make every customer feel valued.

Rafael _{Our Crew Leader}

Bringing Reliability and Heart to
Every Job

Rafael, or Rafa, is the cornerstone of Junkrobbers’ Chicago junk removal and hauling team. Hailing from Zacatecas, Mexico, this proud father and family man brings 15 years of mattress recycling experience to every job, ensuring eco-friendly Chicago junk hauling with care and precision.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Junk Robbers was great, from beginning to end! Ryan was easy to work with, and he was happy to accommodate me when I unexpectedly needed to change the pick-up date. I thought the pricing was fair for the quality of service and for how careful and thorough they were! Ryan kept me updated on the day-of, and they did arrive during their original estimated arrival window. Also, the payment process was so easy: they just emailed a Square link beforehand with the invoice, and I was able to pay online before their arrival. Overall, Junk Robbers was professional, timely, detailed, and very kind. Working with them made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and easy one. Highly recommend!
