Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane...Melbourne!
MELBOURNE, Jan. 5 /CNW-AsiaNet/ --
The junk removal service sweeping up from Brisbane to Sydney arrives in
Melbourne this month. The entrepreneur responsible for 1800-GOT-JUNK?'s Brisbane
success will be behind the truck wheels in Melbourne as well. For Justin King, the
expansion is not a minute too soon:
"There is a great demand for residential and commercial junk removal that
provides both a professional, customer-focused service, and is
environmentally-friendly as well," explains King, adding, "We try to recycle
as much as we can, aiming for at least 60 percent. Many useful household
items, including furniture can be donated to charities such as Lifeline,
Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul."
1800-GOT-JUNK? is a full service junk removal company that has become the
solution to a growing trend of junk collection. Busy lifestyles coupled with
an ever increasing availability of household products and gadgets has helped
forge a junk removal industry that is booming.
The company hauls away items that rubbish collectors don't pick up. Truck
team members remove items from their location so there is no dragging to the
kerb, and they perform a full clean-up after. The company employs high tech
systems in a low tech industry, with a central call centre, online booking
capability, and web-access phones to allow truck team members to stay on top
of business right from their trucks.
For King, who joined the company as a franchise owner in 2008, the
entrepreneurial bug began early when he opened his own boutique fruit and veg
shop at the age of 22, before entering the sales and marketing world. King's
career led him to the International Air Transport Association where he was
regional general manager for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. King
eventually rekindled his interest in running his own business, opening
Brisbane's first location of the professional junk removal franchise,
1800-GOT-JUNK?, a top international brand.
King's Melbourne franchise is the fifth in Australia. The Canada-based
company operates approximately 220 franchises in Canada and the United States,
making it the World's Largest Junk Removal Company.
