Our Local Operators
Ben Hoskins
Territory: Junk Removal - San Diego North
Address:
Hi, I'm Ben Hoskins and I own the San Diego North Franchise of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Five years ago, I left a job in the technology industry to open the first 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise in Southern California. My wife and I moved from Sacramento so I could start the business and she could attend graduate school at San Diego State. When I started the business, I mainly focused in the city of San Diego in areas like La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Mission Hills/Hillcrest, Downtown, University City and Clairemont. In 2004 our General Manager Rick Romano joined the team and helped expand our presence on the North Coast. He lives in Encinitas and coaches his daughter's softball teams. This explains why, if you have daughters who play softball in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solano Beach, or Cardiff, you come across so many teams sponsored by 1-800-GOT-JUNK? In 2005, Jose Andino moved from the San Francisco franchise to become our Area Manager for the rest of our territory of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Mira Mesa, Rancho Penasquitos and Rancho Bernardo. In addition to customer service, our managers main focus with training staff is emphasizing donation and recycling; customers love knowing their stuff doesn't end up in the landfill.
I'm also a partner in the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise which services Escondido, San Marcos and Vista. I also served on 1-800-GOT-JUNK?s Franchise Advisory Committee, representing the 300 Franchise Partners from 2005-2008. From a single 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck in 2003, we now have seven 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks, almost 10,000 customers served and we continue to grow!
We operate out of several facilities. Our main office is in National City, right off Interstate 5. We also have a facility in Pacific Beach at 2121 Thomas Ave. 92109 right off of Grand Ave. You'll see our trucks near Santa Fe Dr. and Evergreen Dr. in Cardiff By The Sea, CA near our storage for the North County. You may also see us off of Camino Del Sur 92127, where we consolidate items to give to charity.

Christopher Savoia
Territory: Junk Removal - San Diego South
Address:
Hi, my name is Chris Savoia and I’m your local owner and operator of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal in San Diego South. We began our junk hauling operation in late 2004. Since that time, we have completed over 2,500 junk removal jobs in the South Bay of San Diego. Our territory covers as far north as the College Area, eastward to Spring Valley (including Lemon Grove), as far south as Otay Mesa, San Ysidro and Imperial Beach and as far west as Coronado. We are also very active in Chula Vista, North Park and Bonita.
Prior to hauling junk, I was a high school teacher in the San Diego City Schools District. After five years as a teacher, I left to work for a small educational software company that was based in San Diego. I'll never forget the excitement I felt when I first started looking into becoming a franchise partner for 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. My family and I had just moved to Chula Vista from central San Diego and we really wanted to work where we lived so we could be involved in the community. When we discovered that South San Diego was still available for a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise we were ecstatic! I really enjoy owning our junk removal business in this community. We have been fortunate enough in the past to be able to sponsor softball and baseball teams, participate in the Costco Children's Miracle Network event, contribute to the Chula Vista Police Department's Baker to Vegas Run and donate fairly regularly to Deseret Industries.
One of our proudest moments happened this January when we were honored by the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce with a Service Award.
We have two offices that we work out of in San Diego South. We have meetings, store some e-waste and do administrative activities at our industrial facility at 131 W. 33rd Street in National City. This is located just north of the 54 near the 5. It's right around the corner from the brand new Sweetwater Harley shop. Also, our office is very convenient for In-N-Out runs for lunch. Being so close to Chula Vista also allows us to run down to Broadway to get our trucks worked on between hauling jobs. Our second office is more of a home base at: 1601 View Park Way in Chula Vista, 91913. This location is between Otay Ranch High School and the new Mater Dei campus in Otay Ranch.

Christopher Geis
Territory: Junk Removal - San Diego East County
Address:
Hi, I'm Christopher Geis, franchise partner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? San Diego East County. I’ve been open since February 2006, providing junk removal services to Alpine, El Cajon, La Mesa, Rancho San Diego, Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, and San Carlos areas of San Diego. Many of our customers see us daily along Navajo Road, Jamacha Road and Via Mercado near I94, having fun while doing waves. Some days you may see some of our crew members jogging up Cowles Mountain, a favorite local hiking trail. Our favorite meeting locations include Starbuck's throughout the area, especially the Fletcher Hills location at the corner of Fletcher Parkway and Navajo Road. Come join us for a coffee one morning or just say "hi" if you notice our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team.
1-800-GOT-JUNK? has taken me to the next level of being able to manage, operate and be successful in owning my own business. My background is in education, having started, developed and directed several charter schools in San Diego County. My most recent endeavor includes purchasing Christa McAuliffe Academy and Achieve Online, a K-12 online school, serving students in Washington State and throughout the world, including China. I'm amazed at how many teachers and educators in the San Diego/La Mesa area have used our junk removal service! With the connection to education, our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise has partnered with a local elementary school, Green Elementary, to help keep Green green! We are holding our first annual e-waste event with Green Elementary and look forward to making additional connections with schools and districts to help recycle old computers, monitors and TV's.
Our office is located near Del Cerro in Allied Gardens at the intersection of Waring Road and Zion in the Albertson's shopping Center. The address is 5173 Waring Road, # 139, San diego, CA 92120

Adam Daly
Territory: Junk Removal - San Diego NE
Address:
Hi, I'm Adam Daly and I am your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? General Manger for San Diego Northeast which includes Escondido, San Marcos, Vista and Valley Center. I have been hauling junk in San Diego Northeast since franchise partners, Drew Boyles and Darren Tavitian, opened the San Diego Northeast franchise in May of 2007. I am excited about being in San Diego since this is where I grew up and spent most of my childhood. After all, San Diego is "America's Finest City".
Our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team loves to give back and help out the community. Roughly 60% of the junk that we take gets donated or recycled. Some of the places our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team uses to recycle and donate items are Quality Recycling, Ecology Metal, Lee’s Recycling and Goodwill. We are certified as an electronic waste collector in the state of California which means we can pick up computers, TV’s, stereos and other electronics. These items are taken to an electronic recycler ensuring that they don't end up in a landfill.
If you are ever out and about and looking to get a smile on your face you can come check us out doing some of our crazy marketing tactics. We do waves in the morning at the entrance to the 15 south and E Valley Pkwy in Escondido. If you are out at lunch time and around North County Fair you might find us at the corner of Bear Valley Pkwy and Beethoven. Wearing our blue wigs, dancing around, having a ball our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team likes to have fun while we work!
Our office is located in Carlsbad at 2275 Hosp Way Suite B CA , 92008 right of the 78 hwy at the corner of El Camino Real and Hosp Way. Located up on the hill in the eucalyptus trees where the 78fwy and the 5fwy meet.

Bill Cox & Eileen Butler-Cox
Territory: Junk Removal - Oceanside
Address:
Hi, we are Bill Cox and Eileen Butler-Cox, the owners of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in north west San Diego County. Both of us are veterans of the U.S. Air Force and have been residents of Oceanside for more than 20 years. We are proud to say that our entire family, including our three sons, helped get our business started.
It has been great working with the cities we service. Since 2003, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has worked directly with the City of Oceanside by participating in all of its quarterly river clean ups which are now coordinated with the efforts of I Love a Clean San Diego and, when requested to do so, report to the city all our figures on diverted materials to help Oceanside meet its state landfill diversion requirements. In Fallbrook, we have been one of the integral parts in the success of the annual Fallbrook Green and Clean event. Our major role for the past two years with the Fallbrook Green and Clean has been to collect e-waste. We also donate our trucks and crews to support the efforts of volunteer organizations that clean areas affected by illegal dumping. In Poway and the Scripps Ranch area, we were the first commercial vehicles allowed into the Cedar fire areas. When all was said and done, we moved over 20,000 sand bags and over 1,500 volunteers into the area. These are just small samples of how we give back to the communities we service.
In 2003, we received the Volunteer of the Year award from the Oceanside Women’s Resource Center. In 2007, the Kiwanis Club of Oceanside awarded us with a Distinguished Service award for our service to the club and the community.
All this would not be possible without your support. I would like to thank every one of you who have used our service. I hope we have wowed you with our professionalism and commitment to this business.

Customer Reviews
"Dear Chris Savoia/1-800-GOT-JUNK?, I wanted to take this time to offer my sincere thanks for the job you did for me and my clients in Spring Valley. I was in the process of putting my clients home up for sale and recommended a swift clean-up around the house. My clients had a limited amount of money to spend for cosmetic work. After getting a bid from a competitor for $1800 to pick up a load of junk, we decided to call 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. You came over and gave us a bid for $442-$504 to do the same job! We booked the job for the next day and were pleased with the results especially with the final price of $442! You saved my clients over $1300 and did a fantastic job to boot. I will refer you to every one I know looking to hire someone to haul away junk. Thank you again."-- Donna, Agent

Carlsbad, April 2006
"This is the second time we've used your service ... Please accept our appreciation for their work and attitude. Each time we've dealt with you, I've been impressed with the young men doing the work. Upbeat, pleasant, with a sense of humor. These guys were a pleasure to have come by and get rid of the junk that's been in the way and just annoying us. As I said, we've dealt with you before, we're sure we will again--probably early next year--and we've recommended you to at least a couple people. But the key is your staff--the people who are the contact with the people using you--and these guys were great."-- Patrick, Vista, Nov. 2007
"It has been such a pleasure dealing with you and your company. Everyone I have dealt with has been friendly and helpful and you make sure things get taken care of quickly. I work with vendors every day and I wish they could all be as helpful and responsive. We will definitely be calling you in the future, we get lots of junk dumped at the industrial properties we manage and no else will take. Thank you!!"-- Lindsay, Property Manager

Junk Removals on HBO Movie Set
San Diego South's 1-800-GOT-JUNK? have done trash removals at the former El Camino Hotel, where HBO's "John From Cincinnati" was shot. The current owners were very nice and did not want to have to deal with removing the almost four truckloads of junk we took out of there. The strangest of the junk removals from the hotel was a cement deer that had been poured into the ground and set with rebar.
Junk Removers Rescue Police
When San Diego Northeast junk removers Adam Daly and Brent Jameson (BJ) were out on the junk trucks a couple of weeks ago, they heard a crash. They looked down the street and saw that a police SUV had flipped over near the highway onramp 50 yards ahead. The crew immediately pulled over and BJ approached the accident scene — he is a certified first responder, which means he has training in CPR , basic first aid, and crisis control. "I have never had to use any of the training and I was very nervous," BJ said. "From a distance, the officer did not appear to be moving. But, as I approached, he proved to be conscious and responsive." The officer had surface lacerations and neck and back pain. Another man who was also a certified first responder, had his first-aid kit out and BJ helped him treat the officer’s wound. Rescue services arrived shortly thereafter and took over. Kudos to BJ and Adam!
Happily Married
