About Us
Local trucks. Local hands. Local pride.
Wetland Junk Removal is a locally owned and operated junk removal company based in Port St. Lucie, Florida — not a franchise, not a call center. When you call, you talk to the person who shows up.
Who You're Calling
Robert Rodriguez, owner
I started Wetland Junk Removal in 2026, and I run it myself. There is no dispatch queue and no sales department — the number on this site reaches me, and the person quoting your job is the person loading the truck.
Being new is not something I am going to dress up. What I can tell you is what is already true on day one: the business is licensed and insured, the price you get from your photos is the price you pay, and I would rather tell you to use your free city bulk pickup than sell you a job you do not need. That is on several pages of this site because I actually mean it.
The Name
Why "Wetland"
Florida is wetland. Drive ten minutes in any direction from here and you are looking at marsh, preserve, canal or slough — the Savannas, the Indian River Lagoon, the St. Lucie. It is the landscape this business works in, so it is the name the business got.
It is also a standard to hold the work to. Everything on the truck is going somewhere, and where it goes is a choice. Metal gets recycled. Electronics go to the county's free electronics program rather than into a hole. Furniture with life left in it gets set aside and offered on instead of buried. What is genuinely finished goes to a licensed facility. Sorting a load takes longer than tipping the whole thing into one pile, and in a state built on water that runs through everything, it is worth the extra hour.
How we work
We built this business on a simple idea: getting rid of junk shouldn't be a whole project. Send photos, get a real price, pick a time — and it's gone. No site-visit fees, no vague estimates, no surprise charges when the truck shows up.
We're licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work, and we treat every property — from a beach condo on Hutchinson Island to an office suite in Stuart — like it belongs to a neighbor. Because around here, it usually does.
Where things go
As little as possible ends up in the landfill. Metals and electronics go to recyclers, and the rest goes to licensed disposal facilities. Furniture and appliances with life left in them get set aside and offered on rather than buried — we won't promise a piece finds a second home, because charities have real standards, but usable things don't go in the hole without trying.
In St. Lucie County that means the Solid Waste Baling & Recycling Facility on Glades Cut-Off Road in Fort Pierce, which has materials recovery on site and takes household electronics free. Martin County jobs go to the Transfer & Recycling Facility on SW Busch Street in Palm City.

FAQ
Questions about the business
How long have you been in business?
Wetland Junk Removal started in 2026, so we are new and there is no point pretending otherwise. What that does not change is the part you are actually buying: the truck is licensed and insured, the quote is fixed before anyone touches your things, and you are dealing with the owner rather than a call center. If you want a company with a decade of reviews behind it, that is a fair thing to want and we are not it yet.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry general liability and can produce a certificate of insurance on request, which is usually what property managers, realtors and facility offices need before a vendor is allowed on site. Ask when you book and it will be sent over rather than chased on the day.
Are you a franchise?
No. No franchise fee, no national call center, no script. Wetland Junk Removal is owned and run out of Port St. Lucie, and the number on this site reaches the owner. It is also why the pricing is straightforward — there is no head office taking a cut that has to be built back into your quote.
What actually happens to my stuff?
As little as possible gets buried. Metal goes to recycling and electronics go to St. Lucie County's free electronics program. Usable furniture gets set aside and offered on rather than tipped, though we won't promise any particular piece finds a second home — charities have real standards and most turn down upholstery with stains, tears or odor. What is genuinely finished goes to a licensed county facility — Glades Cut-Off Road in Fort Pierce, or Busch Street in Palm City for Martin County work. What we cannot take at all is household hazardous waste: wet paint, chemicals, fuel, oil and asbestos.
