The Junk Lady appears in Labyrinth. She is one of the many Junk People piling massive amounts of miscellany upon their backs in the Junk City, just outside the gates of the Goblin City. Upon waking from her fruit-induced slumber, Sarah thinks she is waking up in her bedroom — but she then finds herself in The Land of Junk, confused and unsure what she had been searching for prior.
The Junk Lady further disorients Sarah, offering her a recreated version of her bedroom and many of her toys and other possessions, all meant to permanently distract Sarah from her rescue of Toby. Sarah soon realizes the lack of importance in her items (calling them all "junk" in the process), and escapes the façade, leaving her and continuing her quest for Toby.
The 1986 book Goblins of the Labyrinth includes Brian Froud's sketch of the Junk Lady, which gives her a name, Agnes.
