Junk Removal Franchise Rubbish Works Aims to Add 5 Locations by End of 2021

The emerging brand offers entrepreneurs the chance to tap into a growing demand for junk removal services while benefiting from strong support and proven systems.

Rubbish Works, the junk-removal brand and latest addition to multi-brand franchisor Premium Service Brands’ roster, is gearing up for major growth through franchising.

For more than a decade, Rubbish Works has been providing residential and commercial customers throughout the country with a professional, eco-friendly approach to junk removal, hauling and recycling, as well as reliable dumpster rental services. Today, the $51.6 billion junk removal industry is on the rise as more and more homeowners are embracing minimal and junk-free lives, and Rubbish Works offers franchisee prospects the opportunity to fill this demand with the backing of an established company.

“The junk removal industry is not only recession-resistant, but it is also growing as homeowners spend more time in their living spaces and look for ways to make them as comfortable as possible,” said Iric Wexler, Premium Service Brands chief development officer. “Now, as part of the Premium Service Brands portfolio, Rubbish Works is ready to partner with qualified entrepreneurs to help grow the well-positioned brand across the country.”

The Benefits to Franchising with Rubbish Works

Rubbish Works stands out from its competitors in the booming junk removal and dumpster rental industry by providing customers with upfront pricing, convenient scheduling, courteous and friendly crews and same-day service. Perhaps most notably, the brand also offers eco-friendly and sustainable waste disposal, a service Wexler says is becoming more relevant to homeowners. These differentiators ensure Rubbish Works franchisees can start to build a loyal customer base from day one.

“Most of our competitors only haul waste, but we offer a full-service experience that includes everything from dumpster rental to rubbish pickup,” said Wexler. “We make sure homeowners or business owners don’t have to worry about moving their waste outside, for example, and will go down into the basement or up into the attic if that is what's needed. Whether it be old furniture, appliances, garage items or renovation debris, we can assist customers with the removal of single items or multiple truckloads.”

Rubbish Works franchisees will benefit from Premium Service Brands’ comprehensive training, which covers all areas of the business to make sure owners are fully prepared to offer this in-demand service before their doors open. Once franchisees are in operation, they can leverage localized marketing strategies, proprietary business management software, preferred vendor savings and occasional seminars and national conferences.

Wexler says the Rubbish Works business model is also designed to streamline operations, keep overhead costs low, optimize revenue and simplify staffing.

“You don’t need a physical location to run the business — just a storage unit and a couple of parking spots,” said Wexler. “Prospects have the opportunity to work out of a home office because there isn’t any inventory. It is an interesting business because you show up with an empty truck and leave with a full truck. Overall, junk removal is a simple service and therefore requires less staff training and less complicated procedures to turn a profit.”

The Ability to Leverage the Strength of Premium Service Brands

As part of the Premium Service Brands portfolio, Rubbish Works franchisees can be confident they are joining a proven and supportive system. According to Wexler, the brand is the perfect complement to Premium Service Brands’ existing portfolio of home services franchise concepts, which includes kitchen-remodeling brand Kitchen Wise, painting brand 360° Painting, cleaning brand Maid Right, outdoor surface cleaning brand Renew Crew, home-repair brand Handyman Pro and garage-door services brand ProLift Garage Doors.

“Premium Service Brands is always looking to grow in a way that will both leverage and elevate our existing brands, and that’s exactly what Rubbish Works does,” said Wexler. “Most home service jobs are going to create waste, and now we have Rubbish Works to step in and get that job done when it’s needed.”

That means Rubbish Works franchisees have a built-in network of potential customers and referrals. For example, a Handyman Pro franchisee in Denver can recommend Rubbish Works to a client who may need junk removal services after a renovation. This multi-brand roster also means franchisees can expand their business portfolio by growing vertically with other Premium Service Brands concepts.

The Future of Rubbish Works

Looking ahead, the Premium Service Brands team is ready to expand the Rubbish Works footprint by partnering with qualified entrepreneurs across the country. According to Wexler, the team hopes to add five to six new locations by the end of 2021, as well as an additional 10 to 12 next year.

“We have seen a growing amount of interest in the Rubbish Works franchise recently, especially among young buyers who are looking for an eco-friendly business with the opportunity to work from home,” said Wexler.

The ideal Rubbish Works franchisee understands how to work on a marketing strategy, measure ROI and look for leads. Wexler adds that it is an ideal business for those with a background in engineering or manufacturing, as well as those with analytical minds, since it requires mining data and evaluating consumer trends.

Since Rubbish Works is an emerging brand, prospects can take advantage of wide-open market availability. The team has identified several markets across the country as primed for growth, including Phoenix, Denver, Orlando, Tampa and Atlanta.

“We are thrilled to have Rubbish Works as part of the Premium Service Brands family and are confident that it is a business model that will thrive all over the country,” said Wexler. “For those prospects looking for an opportunity to provide a valuable service to homeowners in their community while meeting their personal and professional goals, Rubbish Works is a perfect choice.”
