Opening a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise felt like the perfect fit for Franchise Partners Scott Lindey, Brodie Burbank, and Brad Bennett who immediately identified with the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brand which centers around passion, integrity, professionalism and empathy.

They are excited to embark upon this new venture. "Helping hard working people realize their dreams of being part of a successful team, and having the opportunity to grow personally and professionally excites us. There is nothing more fun than watching people prosper and realize their true potential, while having fun doing it," says Burbank.
