Harsha Rathnayake​

Junk Hunters London is a waste clearance company that was founded in 2017 by Harsha Rathnayake, a London based university graduate with over a decade of experience in the waste management industry. Like many business owners, Harsha started from the ground up, having worked as a part time driver for a removal company in 2004 whilst studying Automotive Engineering at Kingston University. Upon the successful completion of his degree, he enrolled on an MBA course at the University of Sunderland, all the while still working as a part time driver.

When his studies ended in 2009 Harsha decided to launch his first solo venture in waste management, having already had several years’ experience in the sector. Having always been one to try and help others, Harsha opened London Junk, a waste removal company whose aim was to help residential and commercial customers to clear any overflowing waste that the councils couldn’t take. After working separate morning and evening jobs to keep the business afloat, London Junk eventually became one of the most rapidly expanding removal companies in London, putting an emphasis on great customer service and environmental awareness.

Expanding on his many successful years clearing the streets of London, Harsha is now delighted to share his services across the UK, thanks to the launch of Junk Hunters. Junk Hunters offers this same high standard of service, positive stance towards saving our environment and experience in waste collection to a UK wide audience, and it is our hope that soon all major cities will have a Junk Hunters branch to take care of their waste.
