Darren Shank and Vijay Venugopalan, Co-Founders of Remove and Restore Hauling Co.

On behalf of co-founders Darren Shank and Vijay Venugopalan, we want to thank you for taking the time to visit our site and learn about who we are, and what we offer. We have been best friends, roommates, co-workers, and colleagues since our college days at West Chester University. We worked part time during school, and full time during breaks, at one of the largest junk removal companies in the United States. Here, we performed countless removal jobs over three years, and developed interpersonal skills that enabled us to greatly improve customer satisfaction across the entire company. We recognized that we had what it takes to go out on our own when management asked us to formally educate other captains and crew members on how to provide the best customer experience possible. After school, we each worked in our respective industries for two years, saving every penny we could to fund our dream. We took a leap of faith and quit our jobs to pursue our passion of serving others in any way we can.
Please feel free to schedule a quote or service through our contact page, or reach us directly at
Darren@removeandrestorehauling.com or Vijay@removeandrestorehauling.com for any other questions.

We look forward to hearing from you and responding in a timely manner!

At Remove and Restore Hauling, we are more than just a hauling service. We’re a company committed to changing how we think about waste.



The Problem
Every year, the United States generates a staggering 290 million tons of waste, with approximately 50% of that being sent straight to landfills. Globally, 2.01 billion tons of municipal waste are produced annually, a number expected to rise to 3.4 billion tons by 2050. The majority of this waste is composed of materials that could easily be recycled, repurposed, or restored, but instead, they end up in places that harm the environment.
At Remove and Restore Hauling, we’re taking action to change this trend.
The idea for Remove and Restore Hauling was born out of our own experience working in the junk removal industry while we were in college. During that time, we noticed an alarming pattern: perfectly usable furniture, electronics, and household items were being sent to landfills. The amount of waste being discarded was overwhelming, we knew we could do better.
We decided to create a company that would not only offer a high quality removal service, but would actively divert as many items as possible from landfills. Our ability to resell secondhand furniture and items directly contributes to our competitive pricing model. By offsetting some of our costs through the resale of restored items, we can pass those savings directly onto our customers — making our services more affordable without compromising on quality.
Why Choose Remove and Restore Hauling?
Sustainable and Eco-friendly
We prioritize reducing landfill waste by reselling and restoring items that would otherwise be discarded.
Competitive Pricing
We offer competitive pricing that’s often more affordable than larger junk removal companies. Our ability to resell items allows us to pass the savings on to you.
Furniture Restoration
We specialize in breathing new life into old furniture, and finding your items a new home.
Community Impact
Through donations and reselling, we support local charities and offer secondhand furniture to those in need.
By choosing Remove and Restore Hauling, you’re not just cleaning out your space — you’re making an active choice to reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and support a company that’s doing things differently. Together, we can help divert waste from landfills and make the world a cleaner, greener place.
