Junk Removal - Tampa North

Troy White

Address:
10033 N. Dale Mabry Highway, Suite A
Tampa Fl, FL
33618

Hi, I'm Troy White. My wife, Rachelle, and I opened our Tampa 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise back in March of 2005. Prior to starting our junk removal business, I was a medical sales representative selling laboratory diagnostic equipment - quite a jump from delicate, laboratory analyzers to piles of junk! My wife works part-time as a medical technologist, part-time on this business and full-time raising our two wonderful boys. We have come a long way in those three short years. Initially, we operated from a home office, had one 1-800-GOT-JUNK? truck and one employee. We currently have an office in Tampa, four 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks and twelve employees! Over the last three years, we have completed almost 4,000 jobs. Hopefully, you have seen one of our shiny, blue 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks cruising around town or experienced one of our trademark "blue wig waves". Our team has a lot of fun and takes pride in what we do. more bio>>

The best part of owning this business is the opportunity we have to help out the community. It has allowed us to give back to the community in a way we never dreamed of. Many of the items we pick up get donated through Salvation Army, Goodwill and Habitat For Humanity.

We also strive to be a green company and recycle whenever possible. We recycle electronics, metals, plastic, glass, cardboard, paper, and more. We appreciate that this community has welcomed our business and we try and give back any way we can. We have been active in various charity programs to help Hillsborough County and Pinellas County Schools, Hillsborough County Neighborhood Associations, Youths Empowered to Achieve, Keep Hillsborough and Pinellas County Beautiful and Attention Home for abused children. We also stay active in many business networking groups - Carrollwood Area Business Association, Tampa Bay Builders Association and Suncoast Real Estate Investors Association, to name a few.

We are located at 11406 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Suite G2, Tampa, Fl 33618. We are about one mile south of Fletcher Ave on the west side of the street, just north of Hudson Ln. We are right next to the Shell gas station.

"Their Job is Junk"

We had a St. Pete Times reporter ride with us for a day of junk pickup in the New Tampa area. She was able to experience, first hand, what a typical day in the life of a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk remover was all about. Some of the "trash" our junk removal team reported picking up included almost-new sofas, plasma TVs, mattresses, and dressers. Around 60 percent of our "junk" gets donated to women's shelters and other charities; the rest is hauled to the dump. Sometimes the junk hauler himself keeps the items.

The Rubbish Removal Boys

This Tampa Bay Times reporter traveled with our Tampa North 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk pickup crew to see what our waste removal service was all about. Our junk removers gave her an eyeful - from removing an upright piano on the second floor, to carpets, to concrete blocks, to miscellaneous junk, to the smell of the Pinellas County landfill in the morning.

From HR Consulting To Junk Removal

John Bray gave up a career in consulting and investments for a life in junk removal. John and his wife, Deborah, own both the St. Petersburg and Brandon 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchises in Florida. They're excited about being part of a "world-class" organization and plan on bringing that class to each and every junk removal and trash hauling appointment!

In The Community

Free Junk Removal For Children

We were able to provide help to a local non-profit group called Attention Home. They are a home that takes in severely abused children and provides them with a loving, caring environment. They recently moved to a beautiful location in Odessa where the previous owners had left a lot of junk laying around the property. With the help of other Tampa-area 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk hauling franchises, we were able to remove all unwanted waste and debris (wood, yard debris, trailers, pipes, etc.) free of charge.

Helping Tampa Youth

We have worked closely with a fantastic non-profit group in Tampa called Youths Empowered to Achieve. YEA! aims to facilitate the development of entrepreneurial attributes among the young people of Tampa who are at risk of becoming a part of the cycle of poverty which is prevalent here. We have helped them by doing community junk removals (due to illegal dumping) in this underprivileged area of Tampa and also helped them with obtaining and transporting supplies for their program.

Breast Cancer Awareness Golf Tourney

The Tampa-area trash removal franchises participated and sponsored the Sidesplitters Comedy Club Breast Cancer Awareness Golf Tournament in Tampa. We had a great time at the tournament, but more importantly, the proceeds went to a great cause. We even won the award for the group with "The Best Sense of Humor"! The fact that we wore the trademark 1-800-GOT-JUNK? blue wigs for the first nine holes in the sweltering heat might have had something to do with that. Watching a junk hauler try and tee off with a blue afro wig is pretty comical. Tampa's 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise sponsors the Sidesplitters Comedy Club Breast Cancer Awareness Golf Tournament
