About Green Guys Junk Removal

We’re Luke and Monet Bender, and our three boys are the family behind the name. We started Green Guys in March 2022 to give our neighbors a junk removal company they could count on.

Our story

A family business, built here

Green Guys has always been a family operation. We’re not a franchise or a call center. We’re your neighbors in San Luis Obispo County, and we take a lot of pride in the work we do for the people who live here.

Luke runs the business, our operations manager Chris leads the crews, and our boys help out whenever they can. We show up on time, treat every home with respect, and leave it swept clean.

Why we're the Green Guys

Green is in our name for a reason

Before anything heads to the landfill, we sort every load. Good furniture and household goods go to local thrift stores like Goodwill, Brookside Thrift Store and Achievement House. All scrap metal and appliances go to SA Recycling. Mattresses, e-waste, cardboard and yard waste go to recycling.

Giving back

Giving back to the coast we work on

We’re the junk removal partner for Revive Dive, a local nonprofit whose divers pull trash from under the piers along the Central Coast. When they bring it up, our crew hauls it away and recycles as much of it as we can. We’ve helped with their cleanups at Harford Pier in Avila Beach.

We also donate to The Ocean Cleanup, and we pitch in on local cleanups. With local volunteers, we hauled about 2 tons of invasive ice plant out of Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria.

Who we work with

Homes, families and businesses

Homeowners and renters. Property managers and landlords. Realtors. Fiduciaries, executors and trustees. Contractors and handymen. Local businesses. Government agencies.

We’ve done campus work for Cal Poly, and we’re a preferred partner of San Luis Obispo County Adult Protective Services for hoarding situations.
