Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Joe Sapko, the owner of Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?
A: Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling is a family-owned business based in Yavapai County, Arizona, serving the Greater Prescott and Verde Valley regions. We provide residential and commercial junk removal, hauling, and recycling services with a focus on professionalism, responsible disposal, and community care. With nearly a decade of industry experience and over 25 years of business expertise, we founded Copper State to bring a trusted, local, values-driven option to our community.
Q: What makes you the best choice? How are you unique?
A: We set ourselves apart by combining the professionalism of a large service provider with the personalized attention of a small, family-run business. Every job is handled with integrity, reliability, and care — whether it’s a single appliance pickup or a full property cleanout. We also take an eco-friendly approach, donating usable items and recycling materials whenever possible to keep them out of landfills. Our customers appreciate that we’re transparent, fairly priced, and deeply rooted in the local community.
Q: Who is your ideal client and why?
A: Our ideal clients are homeowners, property managers, and small businesses that value reliability and want a stress-free solution for junk removal. Many of our customers are people who don’t have the time, equipment, or ability to haul items themselves, and they trust us to do it efficiently and responsibly. For property managers and business owners, we become an ongoing partner for bulk removals, tenant cleanouts, and general hauling needs — helping them keep their operations smooth and their properties looking great.
Q: What can we expect from you in the next 6 months? What are your plans?
A: Over the next six months, we’re focused on expanding our reach in Northern Arizona, building strong partnerships with local property managers and businesses, and continuing to invest in marketing that helps customers easily find and connect with us. We’re also working on growing our recycling and donation partnerships to maximize the positive community and environmental impact of every job. Our goal is to establish Copper State as the go-to name in junk removal across Yavapai County.
Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: One of the best things about Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling is how deeply family and community are woven into what we do. Our family has lived in Chino Valley for over a decade, and we’re active in local schools, Little League, and our church. We didn’t just start this business to haul junk — we started it to meet a real need in our community and to build something that reflects our values. When you hire us, you’re not just getting a hauling service — you’re supporting a local family that cares about Northern Arizona as much as you do.
