Hi I’m David Harrop, your local franchise owner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Calgary. Our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? office is located in Bowness, half way between Shouldice Park and Bowness Park just south of Canada Olympic Park. I took over the junk removal franchise in 2003 after selling my Certa Pro Painters franchise which I owned and operated for five years. I was looking for a fun business with a great team and a young, fun, culture where we could work hard and play hard.

Being part of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business has enabled me to become part of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, JCI Calgary, and the Calgary chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization. These great organizations have helped us grow to be in the top 5 franchises in the system as well as expanding our franchise to encompass the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchises in Hawaii and Kansas City. We have even participated in being a case study for the University of Calgary MBA program.

We have grown our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise to a point where we can also spin off a couple of useful side ventures as well. We have recently opened a sorting facility in South Calgary where we can sort through the junk to maximize recycling opportunities. We estimate that we will divert as much as 70% of our "junk" from our landfills, to recyclers including wood, glass, plastic, metal, paper and green waste. We feel great about our pro-active recycling efforts as the City of Calgary increases its own mandates about landfill diversions. We have also started a marketing company called Hanau Marketing Haus to manage our marketing planning and activities.

Thanks to the 10,000 plus customers in Calgary who have hired us to remove 10,000 tones of junk from their homes and businesses. We still have lots of work to do, but we are getting it done, one truck at a time!

Customer Testimonials

"The young men who came to do the work were outstanding in terms of their customer service skills. Polite, efficient, and very pleasant. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they took away all of our junk!"

-- Kristin, Calgary, Dec 2007

"Your two guys that showed up were awesome, as was the gentlemen who answered the phone. Same day service is unheard of these days, especially in Calgary's strapped labour market. Not you guys though! Your service is very much appreciated."

-- Coreena, Calgary, Nov 2007

"I pointed out the area I wanted cleared and the Truck Team recognized that some of the items I had selected shouldn't be included with the junk. They referred to me before loading, and saved some items of value for my husband. Thank you for having such caring employees!"

-- Pat, Red Deer, Nov 2007

"It was the first snowfall of the season in Calgary, and though I wouldn't have expected anyone's vehicle to be clean, the truck looked great. They even called to let me know that they would be arriving right on time, it's great that they are so attentive towards their customer's needs. Dealing with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Calgary was super easy, thank you for a job well done!"

-- Casey, Calgary, Dec 2007
