Our story
It all started with a small truck and a big idea. When 19-year-old Brian Scudamore spotted an old junk hauling truck while sitting in line at a McDonald’s drive-thru, he thought to himself, “Hey, I could do that.” Within a week, he had a truck and a brand new business, which he called The Rubbish Boys.

More than junk removal
A lot has changed since that day in 1989—the business has since grown up to become 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, which now operates over 170 franchises across the US, Canada, and Australia. It’s not just any ordinary junk removal company—it’s a team of hard-working people who are passionate about helping others unlock the potential in their space and in their lives.
