Memphis' Most Reliable Dumpster Rental Alternative

Hi, I am Rob Richardson, your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Memphis Metro owner and operator. We’ve been hauling junk in the Memphis area for over five years now.

I love 1-800-GOT-JUNK? because it is aligned with two things I know well: customer service and recycling.
Currently, the franchise has goals of recycling over 100 tons and donating to charities over 100 times each year -- goals we are currently blowing out of the water! We work with Shelby Farms Park Conservancy planning their annual "Down to Earth" Earth Day Event each year. Also, we volunteer our team several times a year to work with Youth Villages, a home for abused children. We have adopted Germantown Parkway from the State’s Adopt a Highway Program to further our environmental cause. This two mile stretch of Germantown Parkway cuts directly through the heart of our territory and we can be seen several times a month cleaning the roadsides and waving to cars with our blue wigs on. Each year we volunteer our trucks and team for the City of Germantown's annual Amnesty Day cleanups. Residents of this city can bring bulky items to a central location that the city trash normally won't take for disposal. We remove and recycle all the metal , with the proceeds benefiting the city. We love 1-800-GOT-JUNK? because it allows us to give back to our community and do something good for the environment.
Got Junk? One Man's Trash Is Another's Business
While operating a company that collects garbage may not seem like a way to help the environment, that’s exactly what Chris Gammill, co-owner of the local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, believes their mission is. Gammill and his wife bought a franchise in the Canada-based company eight years ago.
Currently, 1-800-GOTJUNK? operates in 43 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces. The corporate philosophy is to donate and recycle as much of what they collect as possible. Gammill said it was their commitment to conservation that drew him and his wife to the company.
“We ’re both environmentalists,” he said. “This is not only a business, but a hobby.”
The hobby part comes into play as they try to see how much they can keep out of landfills.
The company does not have a sorting facility, so it’s up to the drivers to deliver the recyclables to different locations around town.
Drivers have instructions to do one of three things with the items they collect:donate them, recycle them or, as a last measure, take them to a landfill. “We do a lot of training here and we want people to be thinking about how they can divert things from landfills,” Gammill said.
This means that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is very selective about the drivers it hires. Most drivers have at least two years of college.
“We are always looking for those select few,” he said.Currently the company has six full time drivers. At the end of their shifts they fill out a report which categorizes how much has been recycled into one of 11 possible categories.
“They know there is accountability,” Gammill said.
The report, called a Junk Type Estimation Sheet, lists various categories of items, such as glass, plastics, tires and household items. Drivers must indicate on the sheet how much and what has been recycled for each pickup they make. A licensed garbage collection company, what’s different about 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is that they provide a labor force to remove items from all parts of a client’s property.
Making a Comeback
From Memphis Daily News Thursday, March 04, 2010
More than 100 collectible Beanie Babies will be among the items offered at a future fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities Memphis, thanks to a gift from 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
Chris Gammill, right, a franchise partner for the company’s Greater Memphis Metro Area, recently spotted the 1990s-era Happy Meal toys as one of the company’s trucks was dropping items at a Goodwill center.
Caron Byrd, executive director of Ronald McDonald House, sorts through the toys during a donation event earlier this week. “I love the lobster,” she said.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Branches into Commercial
When others see the recent economic woes as a time to scale back, Chris Gammill, franchise partner for 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, sees green.
The "junk" disposal specialty business has seen its gross revenues grow by more than 15% to about $400,000 this year thanks to a new business plan that is focusing on meeting the need of commercial property managers dealing with newly vacated space.
"We've found that this is going to be a great niche market for us," Gammill says. "In a downturn economy, people are still doing business, but people are moving to smaller offices. All of the furniture doesn't fit in the new office."
