College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving

Full-Service Moving • Hourly Moving Services • Junk Removal • Donation Pickup • General Labor

Golfing. Gardening. Spending time at the lake with friends and family. Reading Eden Prairie Lifestyle. You spend your free time enjoying at least one of these rewarding pastimes. But here’s one activity I bet you’re not especially fond of: moving around large, heavy objects.

Unfortunately, this presents a problem whenever your large, heavy objects need moving. You don’t savor an opportunity to learn what the weight of a loveseat could do to your rotator cuff. You feel too benevolent toward humanity to attempt navigating a box truck through traffic. You’re busy. These are all valid reasons to delegate house moving and junk hauling to a professional – or, better yet, a retired U.S. Army Armor Officer, who was once responsible for commanding larger and heavier things than you will ever own.

Proud to Serve

“The military teaches you attention to detail, how to plan, and how to react when things don’t go according to plan,” said Jason Sedlak, owner of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving Eden Prairie. “But above all else, it teaches you the importance of building a great team and culture.”

“Its culture is the first thing that drew me to the College HUNKS brand. Our mission is to Move The World. That may sound like a tall order, but we accomplish it by making positive impacts on our clients, our community, and most of all our ‘HUNKS.’ 

“Many of our team members are young people who are trying to better themselves and move up in the world. As an Army Officer, football coach and leadership instructor, I really enjoy helping them reach their full potential. People who had zero experience when we first started out five years ago are now running our business development department. And when we get a chance to hire another veteran – like Alex Albanito, our operations manager, who served eight years active duty as an Army Combat Medic – my job only feels more rewarding.” 

Raising the Bar

“I would never disparage any of our competitors, but we all know the bar is set pretty low in the moving industry,” said Jason. “That’s just as well, because it gives us even more opportunities to exceed our clients’ expectations.

“For example, very few services are as transparent with their pricing as College HUNKS. Instead of throwing out a low-ball estimate to get our foot in the door and then gradually raising our rate, our goal is to give you the most accurate and transparent estimate possible. We want to account for every factor we can. It’s all in service of eliminating any and all surprises on the day of your big move.”

“We’ll also do whatever we can to help you save money on our services. With Christopher Reed as your moving consultant, you’ll know just what you can do to prepare for our team’s arrival. You can choose to reduce our labor cost by boxing everything up and moving it to the garage ahead of time, or you can have the HUNKS take care of all the heavy lifting. Either way, we’ll do everything in our power to keep your overall cost reasonable.”

Local and Long-Distance Moving

“Whether you’re relocating to a different part of Eden Prairie or a different time zone, we’ll make your move go as smoothly as possible,” said Jason. “Unlike most of the large van lines, we don’t risk losing or damaging your belongings by storing them at a distribution center. The crew that loads your property will be the same one to unload it, even if you’re moving to the other side of the country.

“We can move anything any distance, too. There are reasonable limits to our abilities, of course. But ever since we successfully transported an entire airplane, I’ve been pretty confident that we can move whatever a homeowner or business owner decides to challenge us with – and if we can’t, we will provide you with a great referral to someone who can.”

Junk Removal and Donation

“Our solution to junk removal isn’t just quick and convenient,” said Jason. “Part of our commitment to improving our community includes keeping as much stuff out of landfills as possible. In addition to recycling, that means bringing anything donatable to local donation centers, such as Bridging which accepts all kinds of household essentials. 

“If you have a piece of furniture that’s taking up space but too nice to throw away, we offer the perfect guilt-free solution. And if you show us an entire house that’s packed to the brim with odds and ends, our team will carefully sort through it to prevent anything of any value from winding up in a dumpster.”

General Labor

Do you need to temporarily store the contents of a room or whole floor? Did your latest shipment of landscaping materials only make it as far as your driveway? Has your kid’s old playground turned into a raccoon nightclub, and now needs to go away? No matter your need for general labor, College HUNKS is standing by to do the work. All-purpose HUNKS on demand. Very helpful!

“We love solving problems, even when we aren’t paid to,” said Jason. “During the lockdown, our corporate team learned that many people were trapped in abusive relationships. In response, they began an initiative to provide moving services to anyone in urgent need but without the means to afford them. The initiative has benefitted hundreds of domestic abuse survivors since its inception in 2020, and we’re proud to have contributed half a dozen moves to that total.”
