The Year: 2004
The Person: Josh Cohen
The What: The Junkluggers.
Josh started using his mom’s SUV to pick up other people’s junk-to make money while in college. He got real busy real fast. It must have been because of his high-tech marketing technique.
(Josh handed out homemade flyers.)
Little did he know that his part-time, “I’m doing this to help me get through college” junk-hauling business, would turn into a full-time business.
The Year: 2013
Josh turned his rockin’ and rollin’ business into a franchise business. He also started to focus on the “green” aspect of his business.
FYI: A lot of the things picked up by the Junkluggers can be recycled.
Glass, plastic, textiles, paper, and metal can be recycled, and even items like old electronic devices like TV’s and radios can be stripped apart and recycled.
The Year: 2014
