1-800-GOT-JUNK?
Okay ladies, I know all of you have wanted to give your significant other a swift kick in the rear end at one point or another to propel him to finally get rid of all that junk in the basement or garage. Well I have an answer for you - call 1-800-GOT-JUNK?!
It’s always nice to be able to support locally-owned businesses when we can, and if you have junk that needs hauling then 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is for you! Started in 1989 in Vancouver by an ambitious university student Brian Scudamore, the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? company quickly grew and after three summers was well on it’s way to becoming a household name. Since 1997 the company has grown exponentially, and expanded to over 300 locations across four countries, including Edmonton.
Owned by local boy Jason Seguin, the Edmonton chapter of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has been serving Edmonton and area for more than eight years. Starting out in North West Edmonton, they quickly spread to expand rubbish removal services to St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Millwoods and Old Strathcona. Now, with six easily recognizable trucks cruising in and around Edmonton, the expert crew of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can pretty much haul whatever you’ve got! From old appliances and broken furniture to construction debris and general household junk, these full-service guys can haul it all. And the best part is, you don’t have to lift a finger! Not only do they do all the loading and sorting, but the crew also makes every effort to stay “green” by recycling or donating as much as they possibly can. 
Owner Jason also tries to give back to the city of Edmonton as much as he can. Last year they held the first ever “Yard Sale for the Cure” charity event and raised over $2,300 for breast cancer research by selling good quality “junk” that they had picked up at various jobs. Hey, like the saying goes, ‘One person`s junk is another person`s treasure!`` They`ve also been actively involved with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Santa`s Anonymous, and local women`s shelters.
Prices of junk hauling vary since they charge by volume, not by the time it takes to remove the junk, and the truck team members confirm prices with each customer before starting. And to make it more convenient for you they now offer online booking----in fact, over 30% of all Edmonton and area booking is done online at www.1800gotjunk.com , and the guys receive notification as soon as you press ‘enter’ via their phones. Plus you get $10 off when you book online. Now there’s no excuse to have to look at that junk pile anymore!
