What Do We Do?

We are 1-800-GOT-JUNK in the Twin Cities. Three locally owned 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal franchises that service the entire Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area from St. Cloud to Lakeville, Stillwater to Wayzata. When our first operation opened in 2000 we were determined to revolutionize the way people get rid of their unwanted junk. In just seven years we have grown to fourteen 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks and have brought not just professionalism, but energy and responsibility to the junk removal business.

We are a full service junk removal company – I hear customers call it rubbish removal, trash removal, or waste hauling – if you don’t need it, and it’s taking up space that you need in your home or office, then call us and we’ll remove it for you. We can take away just about anything, and have seen a lot of junk: old fridges, tired ovens, broken microwaves, outdated computers, used mattresses, worn furniture, garden debris, construction waste and more. Whatever junk you need to get rid of, if it’s not hazardous material, chances are we can haul it away for you.

Working with specialty recyclers and charities we recycle well over 60% of the junk we haul and in most of the metros what isn’t recycled or reused goes to an energy facility that reclaims the trash for electricity, keeping it out of landfills. Our goal is to be able to assure you that you are disposing of your junk in the least impactful way possible.

We even provide same-day service for your immediate junk removal needs! Whether you are moving, need to salvage excess scrap from home renovations, or just plain tired of using your free space as a storage container, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will be your personal junk removal solution. Watch what we do

Territory: Junk Removal - Twin Cities East
Address:

Hi I'm Andrew Knutson, your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise owner for junk removal for the St. Paul area. I started helping people remove the clutter from their lives back in 2003. I jumped to owning a business from the tech sector where I worked as a programmer at places like Blue Cross Blue Shield in Eagan and MSI Insurance in Arden Hills. We now have four 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks servicing from Forest Lake, White Bear Lake, Roseville, Woodbury, Eagan, Apple Valley and everywhere in between. Since I've started, we've helped close to 7,000 people remove their junk.

You can see our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks parked off Hamline Ave. in Roseville, Lexington Ave. in the Highland Park area, Randolph Ave. in the Summit Hill area or Cedar Ave. in the Apple Valley area. I'm sure if you live in or close to these neighborhoods you've seen us doing our blue wig waves off Snelling Ave. or County Road 42. One of the best parts of our business is our opportunity to recycle or donate much of the 'junk' we remove. All of our ewaste or appliances go to a recycler in Inver Grove Heights while much of the 'good' stuff we remove is taken to charities like Bridging or Goodwill. more bio >>

Our office is located at the junction of interstates 35E and 694, east of Rosedale and west of the Maplewood mall. Take 35E north of downtown St. Paul past Hwy 36 to Little Canada Rd.

Hi I’m Ben Cowan and I have owned and operated my Greater NW Twin Cities & Saint Cloud 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal franchise since the summer of 2005. After graduating from Augsburg College I took a job with Wayzata based Cargill, Inc where I worked an exciting and action packed 10 years as a Financial Manager. An entrepreneur at heart, I was ecstatic about an opportunity to become a 'Junk Man' and be a part of building the first true brand in the junk removal industry. I love it because every day brings unique customers and a wide spectrum of jobs from real estate foreclosures, home renovation projects and entire house or garage cleanouts to appliance removal, electronic recycling, and cleaning out office buildings - we never know what to expect yet rest assured we are always prepared!

We specialize in same day junk removal and in most cases can be to your home or business hauling away your unwanted items in a matter of minutes - How cool is that? We currently have five clean, shiny & bright blue junk removal trucks zooming around the Greater NW Twin Cities of Golden Valley, Plymouth, Crystal, New Hope, Maple Grove, Champlin, including all the way to Saint Cloud and all the areas in between. more bio >>

Address:

Hi, I’m Anthony Stamson. My wife, Carol, and I own the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise that services the southwestern Twin Cities. I have wanted to own my own business for sometime, but I wanted a business that was fun and interesting. When I found 1-800-GOT-JUNK? I knew it was the right fit! Between meeting great customers, hauling away some interesting junk and working with a fantastic crew I couldn’t have asked for more.

On top of that we are turning a boring, dirty old business into a professional, fun experience and we get to be in on the beginning of a new green revolution that will change the way we all think about our waste and resource use. If you are moving, cleaning out the basement for a remodeling project or just need to get rid of some old furniture give us a call. more bio >>

Support for Twin Cities Fundraising and Charity

1-800-GOT-JUNK? is not only environmentally conscious, but socially conscious. We support and work with a number of charitable organizations here in the Twin Cities. This winter we brought our trucks and people out in force to support the City of Lakes Loppet, an internationally recognized ski race through Theodore Wirth Park and across Lake of the Isles into the heart of Uptown. The Loppet is the primary fund raising event for the City of Lakes Nordic Ski Foundation that supports fitness and skiing programs for inner city youth.

We have also worked with organizations like the Arthritis Foundation to provide support for their walk and many smaller organizations as well. If you have a charitable event where we may be of help to you, please contact us.

What is the strangest thing you have ever picked up? Tony Stamson, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise partner for Twin Cities Southwest answers this question, "I have a 5 ft long stuffed Marlin hanging over my desk that I couldn’t bring myself to throw away. We’ve picked up a truckload of Garden Gnomes, refrigerators of spoiled meat, and some couches that you wonder if they were ever really in style. But the strangest thing we’ve ever gotten is in the photo below. What is it? We have no idea. A year of internet searches and showing it to visitors at our office has generated a lot of creative guesses but no plausible answer. So if you can tell us what it is, I’ll send you a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? sweatshirt for the answer".
