## Story

While many assume junk removal is unglamorous, that’s not the case. As the saying goes, “one’s junk is another one’s treasure”, waste hauling is a home service business that’s needed for all sorts of situations, from construction and remodeling to estate sales and property cleanouts. The consumer demand for these services has been steadily growing, with the waste industry at $75 billion and junk removal services accounting for about $10 billion of that number.

As this category of business grows, more and more entrepreneurs are noticing that junk removal is a profitable venture with great lifestyle benefits.
