Junk Removal - Ann Arbor

Hi, I am Casey Stark and am in my fifth year of operating my 1-800-GOT-JUNK? rubbish removal franchise in Ann Arbor. Although my junk hauling franchise is officially called Ann Arbor, we operate in Washtenaw, Livingston, Lenawee and Monroe Counties.
I began operations at home, worked on the junk trucks every day and completed paperwork in the evenings. Now, I am able to spend less time on the trucks and have the opportunity to also teach as a certified Russa Yog (rope-based yoga) instructor.
My entire experience with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has been wonderful. I knew the moment I looked into 1-800-GOT-JUNK? that I wanted nothing else but to become involved with this trash business and the fun, creative people that are involved in it. My past employment experience has been with non-profits doing PR and fundraising, and working for larger corporations in the HR and Marketing departments. While these positions provided me with a paycheck and great experience, nothing has been as rewarding as owning my own business. I have some incredible people working for me and I am grateful for their contributions and spirit!
Our professional affiliations include the local Home Builders Association, the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, and the Brighton Chamber of Commerce. We are also Waste Knot Partners in Washtenaw County and are a member of the Clean Cities Coalition. I am a member of the Women Business Owners of SE Michigan and a member of the Events Committee for the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce.
Our office is located on US-23, about one mile north of 6 Mile Rd, halfway between Ann Arbor, MI and Brighton, MI in Whitmore Lake, MI. We are across the street from Northfield Township Police and Fire Departments.

Accepting Economic Downturn

The down-turned economy in Ann Arbor and all of southern Michigan is tough on businesses of all sizes. However, keeping a positive attitude and setting goals for the future may very well be the remedy to weather the rough times. Trash hauling operator Casey Stark is still enjoying steady sales of her junk removal service, and she is ready to ramp up when the economy picks up again.

Women Make Great Junk Haulers

Who says women don't like to get their hands dirty?! They're operating junk hauling franchises, driving junk pickup trucks, negotiating deals and doing junk removals just like the men!

In The Community

Our Trucks in the Ann Arbor Community

We have had so much fun getting involved in community events! They have provided us with some surprises and opportunities to meet people who need our junk removal service. We were contacted by the horn section of the University of Michigan Marching Band after they saw our junk pickup trucks driving about and asked if they could "adopt" us for the year. We provided them all 1-800-GOT-JUNK? t-shirts and had a blast taking pictures of them perched on one of our junk pickup trucks!

We also love to sign up for local parades. You can always find our junk removers there! Every year we are in the Ann Arbor 4th of July Parade as well as the Chelsea Festival of Lights Parade held in December. Last year we decided to do some fundraising work and signed up for Climb Detroit, an event run by the American Lung Association. We wore our Powered By Junk shirts and ran/walked all the steps to the top of the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit.

Junk Haulers Prevent Fire Tragedy

We had a major challenge in August of 2006 when we had a fire in our office on Washtenaw Ave. in Ann Arbor. Old and faulty wiring caused a fire behind a wall which immediately burst into flames and thick, choking smoke. We were there at the time and were able to get our staff, computers and files outside quickly. There were residential apartments above our office in the same building, so our junk crew ran upstairs and pounded on doors to wake everyone up and get them out. It turns out that there were no smoke alarms upstairs, so our junk crew helped prevent a potential tragedy. The fire was put out quickly by the fast and professional work of the Ann Arbor Fire Department.

Our Junk Haulers Have Blue Wig Spirit!

Culture and the blue wig spirit are extremely important to our junk removal business and help us attract fantastic people to haul junk for us. Junk hauling is really hard work, so the fun element helps all of us look forward to the next day of junk pickups and keeps us all motivated to give our best to every client. We encourage our junk removers to bring their own spirit and creativity to each and every trash hauling job.
