Rubbish Works Continues to Sweep Competition in the $51.6 Billion Junk Removal Industry

For more than a decade, Rubbish Works — the junk-removal franchise under Premium Service Brands — has been outperforming its competitors by providing an eco-friendly approach to junk removal, hauling and recycling. Today, homeowners’ desire for minimal and junk-free lives is at an all-time high, and as a result, Rubbish Works’ service offering is more in-demand than ever.

“The $51.6 billion 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 Keven Elwood, Premium Service Brands’ chief development officer. 

Now, as Rubbish Works looks for qualified partners to help expand the brand as part of the Premium Service Brands portfolio, Elwood says franchisee prospects have the opportunity to fill this demand with the backing of a supportive parent company and proven business model. 

More Than Just Hauling Waste

Rubbish Works franchisees are able to build a dedicated customer base and tap into multiple revenue streams by providing a holistic approach to junk removal, which includes the crew, truck, labor and disposal for residential and commercial customers. This encapsulates a wide-range of individual services, including everything from appliance removal, construction debris removal, disaster cleanup, electronics recycling, furniture removal, yard debris removal and much more.

“Most of our competitors just haul waste, but we offer a full-service junk removal experience that includes everything from dumpster rental to rubbish pickup,” said Elwood. “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 Work also differentiates itself by offering dumpster rental services for commercial and residential clients, which includes both drop-off and pick-up. “We offer convenient 20-yard roll-off dumpster containers ideally sized for any project,” said Elwood. “Roll off containers are a great solution for construction site cleanups, home remodeling projects, office clean outs or for those who just need a few days to sift through their items.”

Going Above and Beyond for Customers

In addition to the far-reaching service offerings, Elwood says Rubbish Works outshines its competitors in the booming junk removal and dumpster rental industry by prioritizing upfront pricing, convenient scheduling and courteous crews. Since junk removal service can be a last-minute necessity, Elwood says Rubbish Works can also provide same day service for customers in a bind. 

“As part of being a customer-oriented service organization, we understand that we need to go above and beyond the norm for our customers,” said Elwood. “We understand  the future of our company depends on repeat customers. We also benefit from customers sharing their experience with family and friends, so it is important that our employees go beyond the normal service company. Rubbish Works carries all the required insurance so our customers can feel comfortable with using our service.”

To ensure owners are fully prepared to offer this in-demand and superior service before their doors open, Rubbish Works franchisees have access to Premium Service Brands’ comprehensive training and support infrastructure, which covers both the front- and back-end of the business.

Eco-Friendly Recycling and Waste Disposal

Rubbish Works also prides itself on providing an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to waste disposal — a service Wexler says is becoming more relevant to property owners around the country who want to cut back on their environmental impact. 

“Rubbish Works is committed to eco-friendly recycling of the items we pick up,” said Elwood. “Up to 50% of the junk we remove is recycled on an ongoing basis. We make every effort to responsibly recycle or donate the items we take away. We also work with several local charities to allow franchisees to donate gently used furniture or other items. All appliances, tires, TVs and computer monitors are environmentally recycled 100% of the time.”

All of these differentiators ensure Rubbish Works franchisees can appeal to the homeowners and business owners in their local community. The target consumer for Rubbish Works is both single-family households with an income of more than $100,000, as well as young professionals who live in apartments and move more frequently.

Now, the Premium Service Brands team hopes to add five to six new locations by the end of 2021, as well as an additional 10 to 12 next year. “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,” said Elwood
