Hi, I'm Drew Trautman and I own the local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal franchise in the Newark area of New Jersey. Our junk hauling operation covers a large portion of north Jersey from Woodbridge, out to Morristown, up to Wayne, over to Teaneck and back down to Hoboken.
I grew up in a military family and had spent a portion of my childhood in the Fort Monmouth and Trenton areas. After working for the corporate headquarters of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? for three years as a Field Advisor, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. New Jersey was an ideal fit for me and the business so I moved to Berkeley Heights in 2005 and we opened our doors in March of 2006! Since our launch we've been actively trying to get our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? name out to the local community. You may have seen our trucks parked at the Livingston Circle on Route 10, out on Route 22 in Union, in Jersey City at the Holland Tunnel, over in Maplewood at the Home Depot, and on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights. You may have also seen us with our blue wigs on doing what we call 'waves' all over our territory and most memorably over at Giants Stadium to celebrate the Super Bowl Victory!
We are also giving back to the community by partnering with Second Chance Toys to recycle used toys, as well as with the Salvation Army and Goodwill to recycle good used furniture, books and clothes. It is important to us to not just remove your junk and give you your space back, but also to dispose of everything appropriately and recycle as much as possible.
We are committed to our customers and to the environment and look forward to showing you why we are your best solution to that pile of stuff you've always wanted to get rid of!
Our office is located in Springfield, NJ at the intersection of Rt 24 and I-78 close to Rt 22. This location gives us great access to Morris, Union, Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passaic counties!

Hi, I'm Doug Martin and I've been part of the New Jersey 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team for two years. Prior to joining this junk removal business, I spent the better part of 20 years in the magazine publishing industry. I was attracted to the power of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brand and the company's commitment to excellence. I enjoy being part of this junk hauling operation with a Fortune 100 marketing focus and plan.
You may see our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks or members of our team in bright blue wigs waving from the side of the road in Marlboro, Manalapan, Princeton Junction, Red Bank, Middletown and all across Central New Jersey. If you see us waving, we hope you'll give us a “honk”!
An important part of our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? mission is to support the efforts of the many organizations devoted to helping the less fortunate in our areas.
Our team participates as a group in the March of Dimes walks and The Race for the Cure. We donate many gently used items people discard to organizations such as: Homefront, The Trenton Mission, a Touch of Love, The Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity and The Humane Society. We are always looking to connect with local organizations that assist the needy in our area, so if you think we might be able to help your group or organization, please let us know.
Living in the most heavily populated state in the country, we understand the importance and need to recycle. Our goal is to donate or recycle everything we can. We recycle computers, cardboard, paper, plastic, metal, concrete, rock, asphalt, tile, clean wood. One of the very unique things that attracted me to 1-800-GOT-JUNK? was its commitment to recycling. Not just of the regular stuff like metal and paper, but the recycling of gently used items to those in need all around us.
There is no greater feeling than the one that comes when you are able to make the life of another a little better. That's what 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is all about. It makes getting out of bed and heading to work something that I look forward to every day.
In order to stay current with those that live in the areas we service we are members of a number of different organizations such as the Eastern Monmouth County Chamber of Commerce, Mercer County Chamber of Commerce and PAL.
We have multiple offices in Freehold, Hightstown, Red Bank and Princeton Junction. We are conveniently located off routes 1, 35, 9, 36, 571 and 33. We currently service Monmouth County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Ocean County and Burlington County. Red Bank currently sevices the New Jersey Shore communities. Trenton and the Capital district is just minutes away.

Hi, I'm James Barrett, your local owner and operator of the Somerset (Central New Jersey) 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. Our junk removal franchise was the first of two to open in New Jersey in the summer of 2006. We are located in New Brunswick and are privileged to serve customers' junk removal needs from Basking Ridge – south to Princeton & Lawrenceville. Early on, we developed a lasting partnership with the Rutgers University Office of Student Employment. We are fortunate to have several Rutgers students working for us currently and in the past. Our office also partners with nearby Raritan Valley Community College for potential team members.
From the start, our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise has been active members in the Franklin Township Chamber of Commerce and recently joined the state Chamber of Commerce. We perennially sponsor local little league and women's softball teams who often participate in local charity events throughout the year. You may have heard our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? commercials on the local radio station WCTC 1450 AM. In April of '07 we cleaned out quite a number of basements, as people were scrambling to “bail out” from the “100 year rain” that engulfed central Jersey. We provide our customers with a convenient and simple way to remove their junk and get organized!

Hi my name is Matthew McLaughlin and I have been the General Manager for the New Jersey South 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise for little over a year. I am responsible for junk removal service in seven counties starting with Burlington, going down to Salem, and all counties in between. I have four 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks, six employees and a need to be the best junk removal franchise in the area!
We’ve done jobs for major sport stars to different government agencies. We also helped out the Salvation Army, March of Dimes, and a couple different schools and churches. We donate to many different charitable organizations, consisting of the Goodwill, Red, White, and Blue in Voorhees, and the Single Fathers of Camden that was featured on Extreme Home Makeover. We also recycle all our metal, paper, cardboard, and rocks when possible. I am personally a member of the Cherry Hill Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Burlington Camden County Association of Realtors.
I love this job more than any other position that I have held. It’s different everyday. We could be moving the most exquisite paintings from a beautiful house in Moorestown to picking up a freezer made in 1950 from some 3rd floor apartment. It is that element of the unknown that makes my job and life exciting. It definitely beats stocking green beans on a daily basis! What makes things even better for me is that I am a huge sports fan and we have already done jobs for an Eagles pro-bowler and a major football analyst. Everyday is an adventure with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?!

Hi, my name is Derek Ralston, and my business partner Mark Weiss and I purchased our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? rubbish removal franchise in Bergen County in 2004. We began hauling junk in April 2006. You can find our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trash removal trucks all throughout Bergen County, including Mahwah, Ramsey, Franklin Lakes, Allendale, Wyckoff, Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Paramus, Alpine, Oradell, Woodcliff Lake, Park Ridge, Westwood, Ho-Ho-Kus, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Midland Park and Cresskill, just to name a few of the towns we service.
One of the gratifying benefits of owning a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is to be part of the communities which we serve. We sponsor local sports teams, support local charities and provide a service of junk hauling that our customers have come to appreciate! Most of what we collect we try to recycle or donate. We can donate items such as furniture, clothes and toys to local organizations. People to People in Nanuet, NY is one charity with which we work very closely. After donating, we send the charitable donation receipts back to our customers. Recycling is also an important part of our business, and we look to recycle metal, paper and various other items such as concrete, stone and wood, where possible.
Our office is located in Paramus, New Jersey, right in the middle of Bergen County. We are less than a mile off the Garden State Parkway and Route 17, near the Lord & Taylor Fashion Center and Paramus Park Mall. We are 15 minutes from the George Washington Bridge and about 25 minutes from the Tappen-Zee Bridge.

“Dear Drew, I will be forever grateful to you and your team in the cleaning out of my aunt's home (in Elizabeth). You have gone way beyond the job of removing all the 'junk'. Your team was courteous, kind and trustworthy. The work which was done exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you, thank you!!”-- Linda, Elizabeth, Apr 2007
“"I really admire the professionalism of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team. My first experience was Sept. 2006. The truck team was there when I arrived. Being sensitive to my schedule, they actually ran from the truck back inside to get the next item! They swept up when finished, so the job was COMPLETE!" -- , Mar. 2008”-- Sandra, Sales Associate, Remax Preferred Realtors, Bridgewater, Mar 2008
“I have used 1-800-GOT-JUNK? on a number of occasions. I'm often not present - they simply show up, call me with the estimate, and take it away! JUST LIKE THAT! The best thing is when I get home - they've cleaned up too! Nothing left for me to do!”-- Tom, Owner, Hamil Flooring Contractor, Piscataway, Mar 2008
“Your guys did a GREAT job this past Friday at 135 Turell (South Orange, NJ), what a difference they made and they were quick, efficient, and very, very nice and helpful. THANKS SO MUCH!”-- Phyllis, Owner, ReStyled to Sell, South Orange, Feb 2008
“Just wanted to add a short note of appreciation for the wonderful job your guys did on clearing out my mother's backyard. The morning started out with Brian and Sergio - two wonderful guys with great personalities and, if possible, even better work ethics. They did not shudder or hesitate when they first saw the job at hand. Believe me, it was a sight that made me shutter and actually caused me to put the task on the back burner for weeks. It truly was a catastrophe. This was definitely not the job you wanted to do on Monday or any other day. They worked long and hard. In my opinion, they earned a weeks pay for this one day of work. By the afternoon, they were joined by two other guys. Together they all worked like a well-oiled machine. Even though, there is not an ounce of shade in the yard. I will always remember 1-800-GOT-JUNK? My thanks to them and you for the outstanding work!”-- Nikki, Cranford, May 2007
“It went absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond. Better than I could have ever expected!”-- Melissa, Bridgewater, Jan 2008
“The whole experience from beginning to end was spectacular. Shaun was super professional, informative and easy to talk to. Truck Team was excellent! Refreshing to see such good customer service.”-- Karen, Colts Neck, Feb 2008
