Our story
A Local Idea That Grew Into a Fleet
The Junk Sharks Dumpster Rental started right here in Ocala more than a decade ago with one simple idea: hauling junk shouldn't come with surprises. No mystery fees at the curb, no no-shows, no treating your driveway like a job site.
Ten years later we've earned 300+ five-star Google reviews at a 5.0 average, opened a second office in Gainesville, and grown from one truck into a fleet of roll-off dumpsters and uniformed junk crews serving all of Marion County and beyond — while staying exactly what we were on day one: a local, independently owned Ocala business.

Meet the owners
Lance & Haley Mosher
The Junk Sharks Dumpster Rental isn't a franchise, and there's no call center in another state routing your call. It's a family business — started by Lance and Haley Mosher and built one load at a time into one of the most trusted names for dumpster rental and junk removal in Ocala.
They still live right in the heart of Ocala, where they're raising their four kids. That matters more than it might sound. When the people who own the company are your actual neighbors — coaching your kids' teams, shopping the same stores, running into you at the ballfield on Saturday — "we'll take care of it" stops being a slogan and starts being something they have to live up to in person. Haley coaches volleyball at the kids' high school. Lance coaches in the area youth baseball league. The same show-up-on-time, do-it-right standard they bring to a team of teenagers is the standard they built the company on.
That standard is why The Junk Sharks Dumpster Rental does a few things the big national haulers won't. Every price is a flat rate you approve before anyone lifts a thing. Usable furniture and appliances get donated to local Marion County charities before anything heads to the landfill. Dumpsters are set down on boards so your driveway is protected, and every crew that pulls up is uniformed, background-checked, and drug-tested — because Lance and Haley put their own name on the side of every truck, and they're not about to send a stranger you'd worry about into your home.
What started as the two of them, a single pickup truck and a trailer, is now a team of 25 with a seven-truck fleet, serving homeowners, contractors, landlords and businesses across a 60-mile stretch of Central Florida. Ten years and 300-plus five-star reviews later, it's still run the same way it started: like a local business that has to face its customers in the community it calls home.

“Junk Shark Dumpster Rentals are top-tier when it comes to customer service, timeliness, and kindness! Their pricing is good too! We have a property under code enforcement, thanks to some squatters. They delivered the 20 yd dumpster on-time and even worked late, ON A FRIDAY!!, to pick it up since the squatters had already started taking stuff back out of the dumpster. Lance (and Hailey) the owners were understanding of the situation and Bobby, the driver, gave us updates letting us know how long it would take for him to be there.”
“I hade used Junk Sharks at least 3 times . They are really good . They provide excellent service . The dumpster comes on time . They put it where I wanted it. The operator -Lance is a true gem. He's easy to work with , and they work with you on the schedule of drop of and pickup.”
“Lance was super helpful with figuring out what we needed for our project, and very accommodating with scheduling. Andrew the driver who delivered our dumpster was also knowledgeable and helped find the best most accessible placement on the property. Thanks guys!”
