Miss Junk is a trash-hauling company Launched in 2008 by brothers Ramon and Tony Mercado. Miss Junk began as a general junk-removal service, but it quickly settled into a niche assisting banks and realtors with foreclosure cleanups and now works with over 25 major banks cleaning foreclosed homes.^[1]

Ramon Mercado, co-owner of Chatsworth-based Miss Junk, hauls away junk that banks have to get rid of when they repossess homes.^[2] "Once we take care of one job, the banks and Realtors will have us do two or three other houses," he said. "I think we're growing."^[3][4]

Miss Junk has franchises in Los Angeles and Ventura county and plans on having 100 trucks working in southern California by the end of 2010.In July of 2010 Miss Junk expanded to Boston,Ma
