Ep 89 | Behind the Scenes with 1-800-GOT-JUNK
Brian Heiser of 1-800-GOT-JUNK discusses what to do with all those big, bulky discards that just aren't going to fit into a few bags for donation.
Brian grew up in rural upstate New York. He holds two degrees in management and one in Math and Physics. Brian is a volunteer fireman on Long Island and was the Director of Operations for an electronics manufacturer for 15 years before starting the first 1-800-GOT-JUNK franchise in the New York area in 2002.

Gems:
“Once it gets in the truck, it could end up in one of several places.”
“We try to donate first, if it can’t be donated, we take it to recycling, if it can’t be donated, it might end up in the landfill. However about 70% of things stay out of the landfill.”
“To see the appreciation from our clients when we are solving a problem for them is very gratifying.”
“We see the power the people really confronting their things.”
“Embrace the space! You don’t need to fill empty space. Just enjoy it”
