Hi I’m Bronic Gold, your local franchise owner for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal in the Bay Area. We opened our franchise on the Peninsula in July of 2000 and have been removing junk across the Silicon Valley ever since.
My wife and I moved to San Mateo from Canada to start our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. She had just finished her degree from University of Calgary and I wanted to take a break from selling real estate to start a business. We packed up a U-Haul, drove to California and haven’t looked back. With offices in Sunnyvale and South San Francisco our franchise strives to be the most professional hauling company in the Bay Area.
Our territory has been called many names over the years, from The Peninsula to Silicon Valley. Our territory stretches from San Francisco to San Jose and covers the Peninsula and the coast including Half Moon Bay. I’m sure if you live in Ballard, West San Francisco, Capitol Hill, Sandpoint, Madison, University, Crown Hill, or Green Lake 1-800-GOTJUNK? has done a junk removal job for one of your neighbors. Our territory is home to Stanford University in Palo Alto.

“On Saturday, November 10th, I had the pleasure of doing business with your employees. I was impressed from start to finish. The two gentlemen who picked up my goods, Daniel Defoe and Ryan Soniat, were courteous, helpful, professional, upbeat, and efficient. They were in short, wonderful! Thank you for your good work and for hiring such excellent employees.”-- Carol, San Rafael, Feb 2007
“I just want to let you know I used your service today and immediately called back to book another appointment! I found the two Truck Team members, Kevin and Eric, to be courteous, polite and very efficient. All in all I consider your service to be extremely helpful and very professional. I will not hesitate to refer you to all of my friends. Top notch work!!!”-- Mr. Green, San Francisco, Nov 2007
“I wanted to let you all know that I had two Truck Team members come out on Sunday and I was amazed that they came so fast. I called around 7am that morning and they were there in less than two hours. We had tons of concrete and the guys took one bedload that day and then offered to come back Monday to get the rest. The two guys that came on Monday had their work cut out for them. It was amazing! They told me that they took eight tons of concrete that day. I’m really happy to find a company that steps up to the hard work and I’ll definitely be calling again.”-- Lani K, Oakland, Aug 2008
“I just wanted to express my happiness with the Truck Team, Blaze and Peeps. They were so respectful to my 86 year old father’s things. He was there and they shook his hand and took the time to look for a picture within all the junk. I am extremely appreciative of the care they took to dispose of all these items in such a friendly, professional, caring manner. Sounds like “Professionalism, Integrity, Passion and Empathy” to me!”-- Catherine, Burlingame, May 2008
“I just called to give my thanks and praise to the fine men that removed my hot tub today. I wish all service I received was that efficient! Great job!”-- Shirley, San Carlos, Apr 2008
