Hi, we are Tim and Deb Jones and we opened our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk removal service in Macomb County and the Grosse Pointe communities in September 2006. After successful careers in the advertising agency business, we wanted to start an entrepreneurial venture. When 1-800-GOT-JUNK? was profiled in the New York Times Small Business section in May 2006 we were intrigued. We researched 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and the more we learned about the company, culture and business model, we knew we found the right business. You may have seen our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks parked in Sterling Heights at Henriksen Golf Range on Van Dyke (also our office location) or at the BP Station on Vernier Road and I-94. We make frequent appearances, waving and wearing our blue wigs, along Hall Road in Sterling Heights, Shelby and Utica. If you live in any of the Grosse Pointe communities, you'll see our ads on grocery carts at Kroger stores. Those of you frequenting the new MJR Cinemas at Partridge Creek will be able to view our in-theater ad on the big screen! The best part of junk hauling is donating all the usable items we pick up. All donations are either new or gently-used items. We take clothing and toys to the Salvation Army, and home and office furniture, appliances, kitchen wares, light fixtures and rugs to Habitat for Humanity. We also donate all the old cell phones we pick up, then they're refurbished and used by local women's shelters. We are proud of our affiliation with COTS (Coalition on Temporary Shelter) in Detroit. Our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is donating the trucks and time necessary to pickup all donations for the COTS Clean Sweep.

Recycling is a priority for our franchise. Old appliances, electrical cords, motors, metal, paper, books, cardboard and batteries are recycled (www.go-glr.com). The donating and recycling we do is very important. It's a tremendous opportunity for others to benefit from having these items available to them.

Our office is located on Van Dyke Avenue half a mile south of Hall Road at Henriksen's Golf Range.

Hi, my name is Bill Schaugg, and along with my partner, we recently purchased the Oakland County 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. We help residential and commercial clients get rid of their junk in Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Franklin, Beverly Hills, and Rochester, among others.

What interested us the most about this junk hauling company is their commitment to people. Owning a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is serious business and it has enabled us to have a positive impact on our local Oakland County communities. Not only do we help residential and commercial customers by removing their unwanted junk and giving them their space back, but we are able to donate to local charities such as the Salvation Army. We also recycle paper, plastic, metal, and take e-waste to facilities that safely dispose of it. Most importantly, on a daily basis we are reducing the amount of junk that goes into the landfills.

I have recently joined the Birmingham chapter of LBN (Local Business Network), and the Birmingham/Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce, and have met numerous small business owners who are valuable partners and support.

Our Oakland County rubbish removal franchise loves to get involved in community activities such as Earth Day, and our trucks are visible in some of the festivals and parades that occur during the year, such as the ‘Renaissance Festival’ in Holly during August/September, the ‘Arts, Beats, and Eats Festival’ in Pontiac over the Labor Day weekend, and the ‘Rochester Christmas Parade.’
