About Us
Veteran-Owned | Local Roots | Community-Driven
Getting rid of old furniture isn’t always easy. Couches are heavy, mattresses are bulky, and trying to haul everything out on your own can be frustrating and time-consuming. In fact, furniture ranks among the most commonly removed items in junk hauling services.
You might not have a truck, and many donation centers won’t take damaged or used items. So, the furniture just sits there, taking up space.
Putting it off only makes things harder. Clutter builds up, rooms stay crowded, and you’re left with a to-do list that never gets done. Lifting heavy items can also lead to injury or damage to your walls and floors if you try to do it yourself.
Our Story
Backwoods Junk Removal began with two friends, a truck, and a simple goal: help people out. David Bunt and Terrance Henry never set out to build a business. At first, they were just lending a hand, hauling junk, making dump runs, and helping friends and neighbors clean up their spaces.
But something clicked.
People noticed how reliable they were. They showed up on time, worked hard, and treated every job with respect, no matter how big or small. Before long, the phone was ringing more often, and the jobs were coming from people they didn’t even know. Word had spread: if you wanted the job done right, call David and Terrance.
What started as a weekend side hustle quickly turned into something bigger. They realized they weren’t just hauling junk, they were solving real problems and giving people peace of mind. So they went all in.
Today, Backwoods Junk Removal is a trusted local business that proudly serves Holly Springs and the surrounding area. David and Terrance still run the company hands-on, focused on the same things they started with: great service, honest work, and giving back to the community they call home.

EXCELLENT Based on 290 reviews Posted on Carla GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys were extremely professional! Went to work as soon as the first one arrived. Terrance removed anything sharp to avoid damaging our floors during the moving. We had heavy pieces so the pricing seemed fair for that layer. So grateful that this type of service is available! They even went the extra mile to help deliver some furniture to a place that provides furniture for veterans in need.Posted on Sean FitzgeraldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 will be using them again!Posted on Bethany ShoierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They work quickly and efficiently and are very friendly. I was able to reach them easily and they communicated clearly about timing their arrival. This was a big job and involved decades of stored family belongings. I am grateful for the care and consideration they showed. They took the pain and frustration away from a monumental task I’ve avoided for years. I am so grateful for their help. I give them my highest recommendation. I’m attaching before pictures. There was also stuff inside the garage and on the sun deck. It’s clean as a whistle now!Posted on Deborah JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Very professional, courteous and friendly service. They will be my go to for any such junk removal needs for sure. Thank you Terrence!!Posted on EllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the nicest experience with Dave from Backyard Junk Removal. He was picking up construction material from a home renovation when I asked if I could include some personal items that I was trying to get taken away but could not find anyone to help. This nice gentleman Dave immediately said he would be glad to take it. I cannot express in this day and age how appreciative I am for the kindness Dave exhibited. and I highly recommend the Backyard Junk Removal if you’re the need of junk removal. You won’t only receive a professional service, you will receive the kindness of a man named Dave. Ellen BatesPosted on ISAAC PEREZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
