1-800-Got-Junk

In 1989, college student Brian Scudamore encountered a tight summer job market in his hometown of Vancouver, Canada. So, after seeing an old, junk-hauling truck rumbling along a McDonald's drive-thru, he was inspired to start his own business. He named his junk removal service The Rubbish Boys and used the slogan: We'll Stash Your Trash in a Flash! What began as a means to pay for college quickly turned into a unique business - a franchise of professional junk removal. Brian changed the company name to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, invested in more trucks, hired great people, and set a goal to build a brand that would become a household name. Since 1998, the company has grown to approximately 200 locations across three countries.1-800-GOT-JUNK? makes the ordinary business of junk removal exceptional.
