In 1989, university student Brian Scudamore encountered a tight summer job market in Vancouver, British Columbia. He bought a used pickup and started "The Rubbish Boys", a junk removal service with the slogan "Well Stash Your Trash in a Flash!". After three increasingly successful summers, Brian knew it was time to take his business to the next level. He invested in more trucks, hired student drivers, and set out to make his company and its phone number a household name throughout the Greater Vancouver region. Since 1997, the company has enjoyed exponential growth and widespread recognition for its business achievements. Growing from a presence in one city to over 25 of the top 30 metros in North America. It has been nominated for both The Business Development Banks "Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award" as well as the "Entrepreneur of the Year", presented by International accounting firm Ernst & Young.

Old furniture and appliances, office, home and yard cleanups, construction and renovation debris... all that stuff that you just don't know how to get rid of can finally disappear as easy as 1-2-3. Many homeowners don't have a truck or a vehicle they want to fill with trash or, they don't have the time to wait in line to have the debris dumped. With a service, you just have to point out what needs to be taken. They will go from room to room and clean closets, basements, garages, offices, warehouses or yard debris. You don't even have to be around. It doesn't matter if you have a single item or several truck loads, you simply call an 800 number to set up an appointment and receive an upfront price. They may also up the price for oversized pieces... after the work is done. Uniformed employees, screened and insured, will call you 15 minutes before they arrive in new, clean trucks and a few days after the pickup, they will call to make sure the crew was on time, polite and the job was done right.
