  • 61 - TBCE - Taylor Chastain - How the Toilet People started a journey - Up Up and Away Junk Hauling

    Taylor Chastain, the owner of Up Up and Away Junk Hauling has had a fun journey in Junk Removal and it all started with the "toilet people" offering for him to use their trailer. Tune in to hear the story!


    From Taylor: 

    "I get asked this question all the time. People ask me, "Taylor, how did you start junk hauling?" And the story is really simple. When I was 17, I was in high school and I was doing a little bit of landscaping, just trying to make some money. My dad had a landscaping gig as his first job and he's always been an entrepreneur. So I figured I could start there. I realized pretty quickly that I hate landscaping. But I had one of my landscaping clients reach out to me and they said they just had all their toilets redone and they asked if I could take them to the dump. I said, "great, where's the dump?" They told me where it was and told me they would give me 20 bucks to pay for the dump fees and buy my lunch. 17 year old Taylor said, Sign me up. So I loaded up pulled into the transfer station, backed the trailer in, and threw the toilets on the ground. Guess what!? They shattered into tiny pieces. My first thought was, that was FUN. My second thought was, I bet I could get paid for that. So I finished off the year for my landscape clients, but since then it has been all about the junk. That was eight years ago. I was in a $1,500 beat up pickup truck and I borrowed a trailer from the toilet family to be able to use for hauling. The agreement was that I would dump it wherever they filled it and if I did that I could use it whenever I wanted. 

    So that's how I got started, and now I'm so thankful to be where I'm at now with  crews and trucks and all that sort of stuff. It really has been awesome. Every step of the way I feel like God's provided and open doors and my family and friends have been awesome and supportive. It's great to be able to be doing 20 and 30 jobs a week and helping a lot of people."
