Vancouver, Jan. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A day in the life of a junk hauler isn’t quite as exciting as flying to the moon or fighting crime. But some days, it can be a truly unique experience. With franchises across North America and Australia, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has found some seriously strange items over the years. We’re sharing them again in our annual round-up of Weird Junk.
Here are the top 5 we had the pleasure of hauling in 2017:
- An axe-wielding doll that rivals the bride of Chucky
- Vintage David Hasselhoff memorabilia, because The Hoff never stops being cool
- Popcorn costumes that’ll make you feel like a Colonel. ...We love a good pun.
- A stylish goat repping our signature, blue wig spirit
- And everyone’s fave: a giant, wooden bug
Check out our full list to see them all.
Brian Scudamore, founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, shares the items that stand out most from his days on the trucks: “John Wayne’s bible, several tonnes of escargot, 400 brand new wedding dresses... You never know what you’re going to get!”
Everything we pick up has a story behind it. But more importantly, junk is disposed of responsibly — diverted from the landfill or donated when possible. To learn more about our weird junk or the types of items we take away, visit our website.
