My name is James Kademan, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and helpful coach to small business owners across the country. And today we're welcoming/preparing to learn from DJ Neuville, the owner of Haul It All. So, DJ. How is it going today?

[00:00:29.980] - Speaker 2

Good.

[00:00:30.640] - Speaker 1

You got to tell us here. What is haul it all? Let's start there.

[00:00:34.310] - Speaker 2

We are a junk removal business. So we remove anything and everything that somebody does not want from their house. Business property managers, storage units, everything.

[00:00:45.690] - Speaker 1

All right?

[00:00:46.050] - Speaker 2

We haul it all away.

[00:00:46.920] - Speaker 1

So when you say all, you literally mean all.

[00:00:50.010] - Speaker 2

Is it everything?

[00:00:50.920] - Speaker 1

I got a busted up pool table. I got a grand piano. I have a dead cat, whatever.

[00:00:55.870] - Speaker 2

Yes. Everything? Yes. If we can't do it ourselves, we find someone that can do it.

[00:01:01.000] - Speaker 1

Wow. All right. And who a typical client? Is going to be somebody moving or someone that's been hoarding?

[00:01:08.660] - Speaker 2

I'd say kind of everything. Everybody. I mean, we get a lot of people that just have excess flow of garbage. They got the Amazon boxes.

[00:01:18.040] - Speaker 1

That was the nicest way I've heard a wording.

[00:01:21.710] - Speaker 2

Just holiday garbage or whatever that they can't fit in the garbage bin. They call us anything big or small furniture, that's the big time of year. People get new furniture, they call us, say, hey, I got my old couch. We come get it.

[00:01:35.440] - Speaker 1

All right, so let's figure out one. What do you do with the stuff? Somebody says, hey, I got this old beat up couch. Normally in college, I would swap we just go curb driving, looking for the better couch and just leave it at the curb, trade it. What do you guys end up doing with it?

[00:01:53.740] - Speaker 2

We try to keep everything we can out of the landfill. So ultimately we have to take quite a bit to the landfill. But we try to donate whatever we can. We donate to Goodwill, salvation army, got some other local church rescues that we donate to. Sometimes we'll sell a few things if we have to, whatever we can. And I'm up for every customer. We just try to recycle or keep whatever we can out of the landfill. And that's our goal.

[00:02:20.910] - Speaker 1

So the question that keeps coming up in my mind is why would anyone get into a business where you're dealing with essentially trash or someone's trash the whole trash treasure thing,
