Since joining the Premium Service Brands roster late last year, the brand has been signing new franchisees left and right as the <a href="https://foodtruckempire.com/news/junk-removal-statistics/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$10 billion</a> junk removal industry explodes in popularity. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-schmidt-849b3a21a?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Daniel Schmidt</a>, a recently signed Rubbish Works Junk Removal franchisee in Cleveland, is one new owner who recognized the brand’s well-positioned concept and decided to leverage its established business model to achieve his dream of entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<h4>The Road to Rubbish Works Junk Removal</h4>Prior to franchising, Schmidt came from a background in providing global risk management for a mining and manufacturing company. “I managed the risk program as well as all the administrative facilities for this company,” he said. “I also worked as a consultant for Wells Fargo and an investment advisor with Morgan Stanley. That all gave me a very interesting background, which I felt lent itself to running a business.”Schmidt says he had always been interested in leveraging the corporate skills he developed over the years, but wasn’t sure how to take the next step into actual small business ownership. When he learned more about the built-in benefits of franchising, he found a defined process that could help him apply his talents with the right concept.&nbsp;“I thought franchises were just Dairy Queen and Burger King, but there are a lot of other opportunities out there,” said Schmidt. “I thought a lot about my background, as well as what I liked to do in my free time and what I want to do in the community. That helped me narrow down what opportunities might make sense for me. From there, Rubbish Works Junk removal came up, and I did my due diligence to learn more.”<h4>Why Rubbish Works Junk Removal Is Increasingly Appealing To Savvy Entrepreneurs&nbsp;</h4>Schmidt says one of the first things that attracted him to Rubbish Works Junk Removal was the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/rubbishworks/rubbish-works-is-sweeping-its-competition-in-the-516-billion-junk-removal-industry-2716393#featured">recession-resistant</a> nature of the service. “I saw a large demand that wasn’t going to fall off anytime soon,” he said. “You can’t create an app or online solution to take the business away; you need to have boots on the ground and trucks on the road to get the junk removal work done.”&nbsp;Now, with the pandemic, homeowners are spending even more time in their living spaces and are in need of reliable junk removal. Rubbish Works Junk Removal offers franchisee prospects the opportunity to enter this industry by providing residential and commercial customers with a professional, eco-friendly approach to <a href="https://www.rubbishworks.com/junk-removal/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">junk removal</a>, hauling and recycling, as well as reliable <a href="https://www.rubbishworks.com/dumpster-rental/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">dumpster rental</a> services.&nbsp;In terms of the brand’s target consumer demographic, Schmidt points out that both the older and younger generations are increasingly looking to enjoy clutter-free lives. “As the older generation continues to age and resize their living arrangements, there is naturally going to be a move to pull some of this stuff out of their homes,” he said. “The younger generation also has a preference for outsourcing and will hire people to get junk out of the house or apartment instead of doing it themselves. This business can serve both of those trends.”&nbsp;Schmidt notes there is also a huge <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/07/pandemic-home-remodeling-is-booming-what-your-neighbors-are-doing.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">uptick in home renovation</a> all over the country, and he will work with contractors to provide dumpster rental services and secure an additional source of revenue.&nbsp;“Another trend I saw in my community was consumers becoming more environmentally conscious,” said Schmidt. “With Rubbish Works Junk Removal, we’ll be able to provide a service where we donate and recycle items before they hit the landfill. That demand will likely continue moving forward.”Best of all, Schmidt says Rubbish Works Junk Removal provides a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/rubbishworks/how-rubbish-works-casey-azeltine-is-charting-a-path-for-success-for-future-franchisees-2716391#featured">low-cost, proven business model</a> that will allow him to tap into all of these trends backed by the support of a multi-brand parent company. Franchise ownership with Rubbish Works Junk Removal does not require a brick-and-mortar location, allowing for a scalable business model with a low initial investment.&nbsp;<h4>Why the Future Is Bright for Rubbish Works Junk Removal</h4>Schmidt officially opened his operation in October 2021 and says his long-term plan is to develop the territory and eventually bring in more trucks. He also says he is looking forward to taking advantage of Premium Service Brands’ nonprofit organization, <a href="https://www.kids-lift.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-daniel-schmidt-signed-on-with-rubbish-works-junk-removal-to-satisfy-a-major-need-for-eco-friendly-junk-removal-in-cleveland-2717385" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kids-Lift</a>, and plans to get more involved with the community in any way he can.&nbsp;Looking ahead, the Premium Service Brands team is ready to expand the Rubbish WorksJunk Removal footprint by partnering with qualified entrepreneurs like Schmidt across the country. According to Iric Wexler, Premium Service Brands’ chief development officer, the team hopes to add <a href="https://1851franchise.com/rubbishworks/junk-removal-franchise-rubbish-works-aims-to-add-5-locations-by-end-of-2021-2716392#featured">five to six new locations</a> by the end of 2021, as well as an additional 15-20 over the next year.“We are excited to bring Rubbish Works Junk Removal to new communities across the country while giving franchisee prospects the opportunity to achieve their dreams of business ownership,” said Wexler. “As homeowners increasingly look to lead junk-free and minimal lives, the time has never been better to join the Rubbish Works Junk Removal family.”&nbsp;The startup costs for a Rubbish Works franchise range from $101,350 to $139,000. The franchise fee is $65,000.
