Junk Removal - Baltimore

Alan Klug

Address:
1212 East 25 Street Lower Level
Baltimore, MD

Hi, I’m Alan Klug and I opened my 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trash removal franchise in April of 2003. I was the fourth 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise to open on the east. We have hauled all kinds of junk from Towson, Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley, Roland Park, Columbia, and Ellicott City just to name a few places!

Prior to opening 1-800-GOT-JUNK? I was a management consultant for KPMG and BearingPoint. Opening my junk removal business was a means to stay local in my beloved native city of Baltimore and get involved with the local business community. I wanted a business where I could really solve a problem for our customers and provide outstanding service in a unique industry.

You probably see our junk hauling trucks parked at the north end of Charles Street by the roundabout. This is a central hub in our service area and we often are out waving at the circle with our blue wigs in-between trash removal jobs. This is a great opportunity to see some of our friendly, uniformed junk hauling crew in person.

We love to recycle - we recycle tons of metal paper and electronics every month. We are one of the largest electronics recyclers in Maryland. We work with an end processor of recyclables so that nothing is landfilled or shipped overseas in an unsafe manner. In fact, we were offering this electronics recycling service even before Baltimore County began offering it to residents, so people that used our junk hauling service to get rid of old PCs and monitors were ahead of the curve!

We also love to help our community in any way that we can! We are always on call to help the community association in the neighborhood where our office is with emergency clean ups and also participate in the Mayor's Super Sweep Thing every Spring.

I love 1-800-GOT-JUNK? because it truly is all about the people. Be it employees, customers or vendors, they are all critical to the junk removal business we are building in Baltimore. We try to create an environment where our employees feel great about what they are doing. This enables them to give outstanding service to our customers. Everybody wins when we get it right. more bio>>

We also work with some of the most respected property managers and contractors in the Baltimore area. We regularly work with Colliers Pinkard, Mackenzie Management Corporation and Manekin Corporation to name a few. I am active in the Entrepreneur's Organization and am constantly looking at ways to grow my team and our trash removal business!

Located in the 25th Street Business District just outside of Charles Village and near Clifton Park. We have quick access to I-83 and I-95 and are just 10 minutes from Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

Chris Ellis

Address:
7907 Old Branch Ave, floor 2
Clinton, MD
20735

Hi, I’m Cris Ellis and I own 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s junk hauling operations in Annapolis. We opened our doors for business in November 2003 with one 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck. We have grown to five junk removal trucks serving PG County, Anne Arundel County, St. Charles County, St. Mary’s County, and Calvert County.

Previously, I was a successful Account Executive in the Trade Show industry. I became interested in 1-800-GOT-JUNK? after reading an article featuring the owners of the DC 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise and their junk removal business. I immediately shared the article with my wife, and she agreed that this was the opportunity we had been waiting for.

Over the years, our junk hauling team has found tremendous satisfaction in meeting our commercial and residential client’s needs in conducting foreclosure cleanouts, real estate property cleanouts, household cleaning projects, post yard sale hauling, construction debris cleanups, garage cleanouts and breakdowns, senior apartment cleanouts, and many more junk and trash removal services! Because we do all the moving and loading, we have been able to assist many ill, senior, or infirmed clients with items that were much too heavy for them to lift. How regarding! Our clients also rest easy knowing that we are insured. more bio>>

Today, it is vital that we support and help to protect the environment. We contribute to this effort by utilizing the dumping landfills and other recycling organizations in our area to recycle as much as possible. We also donate items that are acceptable to charity organizations in our area for the same purpose.

In response to our junk removal service, clients have expressed their gratitude for our professionalism, honesty, and friendly demeanor; and we really do appreciate that. Looking forward, we will continue to strive to serve our community in every way possible.

Our office is ocated on Old Branch Ave. between Shoppers Food Warehouse and BK Miller's.

Customer Reviews

“My experiences with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s junk removal service have been great. I love the ease of scheduling a junk removal appointment on-line. I know I can schedule the trash hauling service and then forget about it. I get e-mail confirmation of the scheduled junk pickup and they show up as scheduled. I don’t even have to be there. The whole process is simple, convenient and reliable.”

Turning Maryland Trash Into Cash

American excess - a.k.a. the "Pack Rat Syndrome" - means increased profits for storage companies as well as trash haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. A couple of entrepreneurs are cashing in on the junk tucked away in the garages, attics, houses, apartments, offices, and retail stores of Maryland. "There a demand for junk removal for sure," says Jatinder Sehmi, who owns a junk hauling franchise based in Rockville, MD. Most of Maryland's junk removal operators are among the most successful franchisees.

From Finance To Trash

Alan Klug started his career as a crisis analyst for a top-ranked consulting firm. He later traded in his coat and tie for a junk hauling franchise. Together with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, he wants to bring professional service to the junk removal industry - one of the last haphazard industries in America.

Loyola College Grad Thrives in Junk Business

Loyola College graduate Alan Klug has found his niche in the junk business. "We're the FedEx of junk removal," he boasts.

In The Community

Starbucks Entertainment

Kent Warren, an employee of the Baltimore 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise for three years, leads a double life. Kent is a member of the popular regional band Fools and Horses that is on the verge of breaking into the national scene. Kent has been featured in the Baltimore Sun's At Work series due to his unique role as a junk removal crewman Monday through Wednesday and a rock star Thursday through Sunday. Kent is loved by customers and his fellow junk haulers alike. His band recently won a competition with Starbucks Entertainment (the coffee company's record label) and were featured on an album entitled Off the Clock that they produced in 2007 with a song each from bands that have at least one Starbucks employee. Steve Herrerra, a Baltimore junk remover who also works at Starbucks part-time, was the way in. They went on to win the competition by being voted as the best song on the album and will have another track featured on an upcoming Starbucks entertainment release.

One of Baltimore's junk removers is also a member of the band Fools and Horses

Baltimore Supports Project Red Dot

The Baltimore 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is a leading supporter of Project Red Dot as a collector of laptop computers for refugee camps in Africa. Our junk hauling team is 100% behind the effort and it gives us a unique effort to rally around that serves a greater good than just being the best in the junk removal industry. We all love telling our junk removal customers about this exciting project and giving them a chance to help with it. We do not have to ask for money and that is one of the greatest parts of the project. We also promise to provide feedback in the form of a photo of the customer's donation in use. This completes the loop and allows everyone to see exactly what happens with their donation!

This spring, put new meaning into your spring cleaning! Are you interested in supporting this initiative? Donate your old laptop during your next junk removal appointment. We'll make sure this laptop gets sent to a needy person in Africa. To book your junk removal appointment, call 1-800-GOT-JUNK? or book online. We cannot make a trip to your house just to pick up your laptop, so please have other junk you need to us to haul away.
