Hi we are Jeff Hardy and Than McClure, your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise owners. When you hear the term ""junk hauler,"" you might imagine something from Sanford and Son involving a sloppy man and a pickup truck. However, we are both very proud of being called a ""Junk Man."" With the guidance of the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE), in 2006 we opened the Santa Barbra 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal franchise. We estimate that over 95% of everything our junk hauling experts pick up is recycled or donated to local charities! Our focus is helping customers who are overwhelmed by their junk, and we are building a reputation in Santa Barbra for being a simple solution for getting rid of all that junk.
Make sure to look out for our junk team in our famous blue wigs. They may be waving to you as you drive by Los Positas and State Street.
Our office is located on Anacapa between E. Montecito Street and E. Yanonali Street.

All e-waste is recycled through Electronic Recyclers, based in Fresno, California, and metal material is salvaged through Standard Industries, headquartered in Saticoy, California.

We are a member of the Camarillo and Oxnard Chambers of Commerce, and we're slated for membership in the Ventura Chamber of Commerce.
Our most memorable junk removal moment happens to be one of our largest jobs to date - a complete clean-up of a 1/4 acre property that took approximately 28 truckloads. The neighbors loved that we cleaned up their neighborhood!

"One of our concerns was how our very useable items were going to be disposed. We were so impressed when the Truck Teams told us that over 60% of their truck loads are donated to local charities. We immediately booked a job with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and were very happy with the results. We would use them again."-- Nancy
"You guys are wonderful. After my husband passed away, I had no clue what to do with all of his belongings that the kids didn't want.Your crew was very professional, and at times they asked me if I was sure I wanted to get rid of certain items, like photos, that I didn't even know was there. They didn't just come in and throw everything away. They were kind, curteous and polite. Thank you for making a stressful situation a little easier."-- Mary Anne, Santa Maria, Apr 2008
