Shawn Jensen

Shawn has proudly called Nanaimo home for over 30 years. Before launching Junk In Our Trunk in the spring of 2018, he worked as a Materials Manager in Alberta’s oil and gas industry. After years of demanding shift work, Shawn was ready to create something of his own—something rooted in community, integrity, and service.

The inspiration for Junk In Our Trunk came from a deeply personal experience: organizing and moving his father’s belongings. That process sparked the idea for a business that could ease the physical and emotional load during life’s transitions—whether it's disposal removals, moving household items, or donation pickups.

Since then, Shawn has grown Junk In Our Trunk into one of Nanaimo’s most trusted junk removal, donation, and moving services. His commitment to quality, professionalism, and personal connection is at the heart of the company’s success. His team describes the work environment as supportive and family-like—a reflection of Shawn’s hands-on leadership and people-first values.
