1-800-GOT-JUNK? got its start in Vancouver, when university student Brian Scudamore encountered a tight summer job market in Vancouver and started a junk removal service called The Rubbish Boys.

Hi, we are Bryan and Kimberly Guidizi, your local franchise owners for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in the East San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles. We moved back to the area to open our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business in January of 2006. Prior to starting our junk removal business we were both involved in the technology sector in many different capacities over the last 15 years from product management, program management, business development and sales to software implementations. We have been serving valley residents and businesses with their junk removal needs since January of 2006 and have provided service to over 2,000 clients! We remove and dispose of everything from furniture and appliances to construction debris and yard waste, we even take hot tubs or spas. Since we are California Approved E-waste Collectors, we can also take electronic waste (ewaste) including computers, monitors and televisions.

Our happy customers are what drive us to continue to provide a premium level of service. We are a fully licensed and insured company. Our staff is friendly and professional and most of them are college students using this opportunity to further their educations and life experiences.

As part of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? family we offer on-time service and up-front rates with our uniformed drivers showing up in clean, shiny trucks for every job. If you live in Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, Walnut, Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, La Habra Heights, La Habra, Whittier, La Mirada or Buena Park, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has done a junk removal job for one of your friends or neighbors.

We currently service our area of the San Gabriel Valley with four trucks. I hear customers call it rubbish removal, trash removal, or hauling services – if you don't need it, and it's taking up space that you need in your home, garage or office, then call us and we'll remove it for you. Whatever items you need to get rid of, if it's not hazardous material, chances are we can haul it away for you.

Hi, we are Zaid and Jane Awni, owners of your 1-800-GOT-JUNK? local franchises servicing the Los Angeles Metropolitan areas. We've hauled all kinds of junk from West Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hancock Park, Miracle, Mile, Echo Park, Downtown LA, and Hollywood just to name a few!

We have been part of the community in Hollywood since 1984 when we opened and grew one of LA's biggest photo labs, IMAGEXPERTS Photo and Digital. We learned about 1-800-GOT-JUNK? after we had seen a junk truck in the San Fernando Valley and we called to have an obsolete photo machine picked up. When the call center agent informed us that our area was not serviced, a light bulb lit up! It was a great opportunity to do something new, fun, dynamic and out of the box. We teamed up with our nephews, Salomon and Zeev Belilty, and their best friend, Andrew Capuana, and three months later we opened our junk removal operation in February of 2006.

Since our early days we have grown from a fleet of four 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks to a fleet of 10 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks thanks to a great business model, a lot of hard work and our fun, chipper, high energy blue wig wearing culture. Our team can often be seen around town on many major intersections like Highland and Franklin or LaBrea and Santa Monica, which are our favorites! Our clean and shiny trucks can be seen cruising around town or sleeping at their homes on Venice and LaBrea, Griffith Park and Hyperion, Sunset and Fountain, Highland and Melrose, Fairfax and Beverly or LaCienega and Wilshire, just to name a few.

Our truck teams take pride in providing our clients with top notch customer service and getting it done! Our services are tailored to give you or your business your space back. We are experts, professionals and leaders in our junk removal industry having served both residential and commercial clients like studios, production companies, real estate brokers, property managers, homes for the elderly and disabled, senior homes , bank and foreclosure properties, contractors and estate attorneys.

Our list of clients include many of our local celebrities and Hollywood stars and companies and related businesses in the film industry!

Whether you are relocating or just cleaning up your home or office we will remove as little as a single piece of furniture or appliance to as much as multiple truck loads from a full garage or office cleanout. Rest assured that all items removed at jobs are properly handled and disposed of as we are a certified E-waste collector by the State of California. We make every effort possible to divert waste from our landfills by donating to charity and recycling everything that we can, up to 70% of what we pick up is recycled or donated locally at our franchise. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has been a dynamic hyper growth success for us and really has been a joy to start and grow locally. Removing peoples obstacles and giving them their space back is very gratifying and making a difference in our environment makes this business very rewarding.

Our local office is located on Sunset Blvd. East of LaBrea and West of Vine. From the 101 freeway you can exit Highland head South past Hollywood Blvd. and the Highlands. Turn left heading East onto Sunset Blvd. at the corner of Hollywood High school which will be on your right hand side. We are two blocks West of Amoeba Music and the Jack in the Box on Cahuenga towards the CNN towers.

Hi, my name is John Nakama and I'm your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise owner and operator for junk removal Encino area. I left a career in diamonds for a life in junk! I started my 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk hauling business three years ago and I love every minute of it. You can find our shiny 1-800-GOT-JUNK? junk hauling trucks roaming the streets of Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, and Canago Park just to name a few!

We recycle as much as possible on a day-to-day basis. We are e-waste certified by the State of California, making sure that the e-waste we collect is properly recycled.

We also donate a considerable amount to charities such as Goodwill and Out of the Closet. We have donated our junk removal Encino services to local non-profits such as the Tarzana Community and Cultural Center, The Pacific Lodge Boys Home and Woodland Hills Elementary School. Almost all paper and metal goes directly to the recyclers, and we are always trying to find new ways to increase our recycling. I love that I can own and operate a business like 1-800-GOT-JUNK? where we are not just helping people de-clutter their lives, but we're helping the environment through the process!

What I love best about my 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise is that we help customers de-clutter their homes, hauling junk like mattresses, appliances (e.g. dishwashers, fridges) and electronics. We help out our environment in the process. It's also highly rewarding to have employees who work as hard as my junk removers do for the company and our customers. I grew up in the Valley and have always been surrounded by good people, but having a junk hauling service gives us the opportunity to meet lots of new people every day. It never ceases to amaze me how kind people are and how much they love our junk removal Encinco service.

Our office is located at 7223 Canoga Ave Canoga Park, CA 91303 Across from Speedy Cash and Starbucks!

1-800-468-5865

Hi, I'm Drew Boyles, owner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? servicing your junk removal needs on the coast of Los Angeles. I stumbled onto 1-800-GOT-JUNK? through a Fortune Small Business article online and the article resonated with me as Brian Scudamore's initiatives to reinvent a fragmented and staid industry were similar to my recent efforts at the time. In April of 2004, I bought and opened my first 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, Los Angeles Coast. The Los Angeles Coast franchise covers the coast of Los Angeles from the Palos Verdes Peninsula to Malibu.

I love this junk hauling company because we are carving out a niche many people don't even know exists. I was with Starbucks Coffee for six years during the earlier years and much of this company reminds me of that. More importantly, I love this 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brand because it has enabled me to build an incredibly talented and driven management team. One of my first Truck Team Members, Darren Tavitian, is now not only the General Manager for the Los Angeles Coast 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise but a business partner with the purchase of our 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise in San Diego. “Drew Boyles happened to be a very likable guy who practices what he preaches and would never have any of his employees do something he wouldn't do himself. A little after a year working for Drew and his 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, I was sent to Vancouver for training and while up there drank the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Kool-Aid. During this time period, Drew was expanding his business by acquiring new territories such as Orange County and put me at the helm of his flagship franchise, Los Angeles Coast. What a ride! I blindly started this career assuming it would be temporary and instead have worked my way up the ladder to General Manager of a Top 20 revenue performing franchise and franchise partner myself.”

We absolutely live and breathe by the play hard work hard mantra. One of my favorite experiences with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? was when we determined that a job that was initially estimated by the client as a 60 minute job actually turned into a 21 truckload job that had to be completed the same day! We rallied the troops mustering 7 trucks to get it done for the client.

Another reason I love this junk hauling business is because it enables us to help our local communities. Examples of us supporting organizations include: El Segundo Education Foundation, El Segundo School District, Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Relay for Life, Tree Musketeers, El Segundo Richmond Street Fair, El Segundo Co-Op Nursery School, El Segundo School District. Finally, I am proud of how we help the environment. We are a California State approved electronic waste (e-waste) collector and in 2006 and 2007, we recycled over 114,000 pounds of computers, TVs, monitors and other electronics though our Los Angeles office alone! We also recycle and donate metal, paper and cardboard, used appliances and furniture.

We are located in a small light industrial warehouse in the center of El Segundo, just behind the newly constructed Grand Plaza. We are at 231 Arena St in the corner warehouse space which is adjacent to the alley parallel with and behind Grand Ave. The El Segundo public skate park and Teen Center, as well as the El Segundo Boy Scout House are across Grand avenue from us.

E-Waste Removal Funds Playground

We pride ourselves in giving back to the community. Last year, we sponsored an e-waste event to raise money for a new playground at Golden Springs Elementary School in Diamond Bar. We collected two truckloads of e-waste material and scrap metal. Overall, we helped raise over $2,000 with the event. Says the school website, "Our partners at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Kimberly and Brian Guidizi, were instrumental ... Please reach out to Kimberly and Brian Guidizi for all of your waste removal needs."

Starbucks Coffee Cups Quote CEO

Drew Boyles helped Brian Scudamore realize his "Can You Imagine" goal of getting 1-800-GOT-JUNK? on the Starbucks Coffee cup with Starbucks' "The Way I See It" program. At first, Scudamore questioned if they'd want to quote the CEO of a junk removal company. Thanks to the faith and commitment of a marketing manager, we made it happen!

Helping El Segundo Recycle E-Waste

Los Angeles Coast's 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise partnered with the City of El Segundo to help citizens recycle their electronic waste products responsibly. We charged a fee for each TV and computer monitor collected. The profits (a total of $1,500) were all donated to the El Segundo Educational Foundation, making us Bronze partners. LA Coast is always happy when we can give back.
