Before introducing 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s junk hauling services to Long Island, NY, I was a Director of Operations of an electronics firm. After 15 years of being involved in the design and manufacture of membrane switches and touch screens, I recognized an opportunity on the ground floor of a soon-to-be successful franchise, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. The 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk hauling trucks are a mainstay in the area. One 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck became a landmark early in our franchise's development because of its parking spot in the lot on Jericho Turnpike by Syosset Bowl. Although none of the trash removal trucks have been parked there for quite some time, people still recognize the truck from having seen it there. Most people, however, recognize our junk removal trucks from constantly seeing them on the road hauling junk to be donated or recycled. Often, that is en route to or from New Hyde Park where furniture and other items are donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul on Jericho Turnpike. Nearby, the junk hauling trucks can be seen bringing metals to be recycled. Paper, construction and demolition debris is recycled in Westbury and in Port Washington along with yard waste and electronics waste (e-waste) through the Town of North Hempstead's recycling program.

Our Long Island 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise and others around us are affiliated with non-profit groups such as Children's Sport Connection who provides assistance to families in need by facilitating children's involvement in sports. Our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise assists by donating and transporting donated sports equipment. We are also all new Member Advocates of The Long Island Way who network businesses and local non-profits in the Long Island community. Additionally, Nassau and Suffolk franchises sponsor such business organizations as the Long Island Board of Realtors, Long Island Commercial Network, and the Women's Council of Realtors among others.

The best part of owning a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is the relationships between the junk removal crews, clients and call center. First, people get a chuckle out of the name. When they speak with our call center, they're thrilled at how friendly the folks are and how simple the whole process is. They're thrilled again when we call to let them know that we're on the way to their location and they're waiting with open arms when we arrive. The junk removal teams feed off that and go way beyond clients' expectations. It's a great feeling when clients are so happy so consistently.

Our main office is located in Syosset, NY on Jericho Turnpike near the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway.

We represent our communities through the trash removals we do and the local community support we provide. You can see us in action through Newsday articles, News 12 reports and through our local newspapers.

We do anything we can to get involved in the community.

Prior to becoming a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise partner I had a career in law enforcement. I became involved with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? after I saw a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trash hauling truck in South Florida. When I asked the junk removers what they did, they explained the junk hauling service with such enthusiasm that I went home and booked a junk removal appointment. My parents had just sold their house and had 35 years of junk accumulated in the basement, attic, garage and even the crawl space. The 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck team arrived right on time, took a look at all the junk, gave me their upfront rate and got right to work. The junk removal crew completed the junk hauling in what would have taken my family weeks to do. My parents raved about the trash removal service, clean shiny trucks, friendly uniformed drivers and unsurpassable level of customer service.

At the time, my brother Jonathan and I were researching different businesses to invest in, but could not find the right fit. After my parents' testimonial, we knew we had found "the one". When it came time to choose an area to set up our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal franchise, the choice was easy - Northeast Queens. Our family has owned property and lived in and around the area for almost 100 years.

There are five 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise partners with successful businesses throughout Canada and the United States that came together to open this junk hauling business to service Brooklyn and Queens. They know the business works and they love New York, especially hanging out at Peter Lugers on Broadway in Brooklyn, going to Coney Island, checking out the brownstones and walking along the greenway.

Our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team recycles as much of the junk we collect through our junk removals as we can. We'll also donate gently-used junk to the Salvation Army and Goodwill. Maybe you have seen some of our junk removal teams helping an older couple remove that unwanted freezer, or perhaps, doing an office clearance and taking away pallets and cardboard waste. We are new to the Brooklyn Queens market, but our team has over 20 years of combined multi-truck operations experience. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? sets the standard in creating space and decluttering your life!

Situated near Queens, New York, our offices are located close to the boundaries of Nassau County. Close to Bellerose and Queen's Village, we are near the Cross-Island Parkway.
