History
The company started in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1989 by Brian Scudamore. He had the idea while he was in a McDonald's drive thru and saw a beat-up old truck offering junk removal services and thought to himself, "I can do better than that". It was incorporated as The Rubbish Boys Disposal Service, then in 1998 with its current name.How I did it: Brian Scudamore http://www.biv.com/article/20120605/BIV0201/305229917/-1/BIV/how-i-did-it-brian-scudamore Business in Vancouver 1 November 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131120142034/http://www.biv.com/article/20120605/BIV0201/305229917/-1/BIV/how-i-did-it-brian-scudamore 2013-11-20 dead The first franchise opened in 1997 in Victoria, British Columbia,http://www.businessmart.com/franchise/1-800-got-junk/ 1-800-GOT-JUNK Franchise Review - 1-800-GOT-JUNK Franchises For Sale Businessmart.com 2011-06-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20110708105119/http://www.businessmart.com/franchise/1-800-got-junk/ 8 July 2011 live and a second in Toronto in 1998.
