In 1989, university student Brian Scudamore encountered a tight summer job market in
Vancouver, Canada. So, he bought a used pickup and started “The Rubbish Boys”, a junk removal service with the
slogan “We’ll Stash Your Trash in a Flash!” After three increasingly successful summers, Brian knew it was time
to take his business to the next level.
He changed the name to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, invested in more trucks, hired student drivers, and set out to make his company and its phone number a household name. Since 1997, the company has enjoyed exponential growth and widespread recognition for its business achievements, growing from a presence in one city to over 300 locations
across four countries. |

"Everyone has junk" but not everyone has a truck or the time to get rid of their junk. Look at the classified ads that read, "Man with truck - will haul junk." This is a fragmented industry in need of an international brand!
Our Goal? To create a powerhouse brand while helping Franchise Partners achieve their financial and professional goals.
