There is an old saying that no matter how far you travel, the rock always pulls you back. After 23 years of living, working, and growing businesses across North America, Michael Baldwin is bringing a fleet of shiny blue trucks with him. Along with his team, they are officially launching 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Newfoundland, bringing trusted full-service junk removal to St. John’s and the surrounding communities!

For the past eight years, Michael has lived and breathed the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? culture. First working on the corporate side, and later owning and operating successful franchises down in the United States. It has been an incredible journey, but his goal was always to bring this world-class service back to the place that shaped him.

Why this opening in Newfoundland means everything

Being born and raised in St. John's, you learn early on that this province runs on connection. When asked about his favorite part of Newfoundland, his answer is always the same: 

“My favorite part of St John's and Newfoundland in general is the community and connection we have. I was lucky enough to be raised here with those values and am thankful for the opportunity to serve clients in this area.”

Now, Michael gets to blend those deep-rooted Newfoundland values with a service designed to make people's lives easier.
