FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Rubbish Works Franchise

Rubbish Works is a junk removal and dumpster rental franchise serving both residential and commercial customers across the United States. Founded in 2009 and franchising since 2020, the brand handles appliance and furniture removal, construction and yard debris, full-service property cleanouts, electronics recycling, hot tub and spa removal, and light demolition.

The model is home-based and mobile, run with truck crews on a territory basis. Owners can start lean with one or two technicians and add trucks and staff as the customer base grows. A defining feature is the eco-conscious approach: collected items are sorted for recycling, donation, or responsible disposal rather than sent straight to landfill.

Rubbish Works was acquired in 2020 by Premium Service Brands, a multi-brand home-services franchisor that operates a portfolio of consumer service concepts. Through that network, franchisees gain access to shared marketing, operating systems and vendor relationships, positioning Rubbish Works as an emerging brand within an established franchising group.

Why buy a Rubbish Works Franchise?

Buying a Rubbish Works franchise offers entry into the steady demand for junk removal through a brand that pairs a simple service model with eco-friendly positioning that resonates with today’s customers. The wide service menu, from single-item pickups to full property cleanouts and dumpster rentals, gives owners several ways to win work and earn repeat business.

The home-based, mobile structure keeps overhead low compared with premises-heavy concepts, and the scalable crew model lets an owner grow trucks and technicians in step with demand. As part of Premium Service Brands, owners draw on an established franchisor’s marketing playbooks, proprietary management software and preferred-vendor savings that an independent hauler would have to assemble alone.

Rubbish Works – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training runs to 80 hours of combined classroom and hands-on instruction, anchored by the Right-Start Program (five days at headquarters) and a three-week Owner Experience Program (OXP). A Regional Service Coordinator helps launch and support each unit, while franchisees use proprietary management software with GPS dispatch plus centralized call-center support for bookings and scheduling. Ongoing coaching covers marketing, operations and vendor partnerships, with national conferences and marketing playbooks. Resale buyers should confirm what OXP onboarding and software access transfers to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Rubbish Works suits hands-on local operators comfortable managing small crews, coordinating schedules and keeping trucks productive across a territory. No prior industry experience is required; the franchisor's training builds the operational know-how. Strong customer service, local marketing instincts and organisation matter more than a waste-industry background. Owners drawn to the brand's recycling and donation ethos, and willing to build community reputation through reliable, responsive service, tend to fit the model best.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Rubbish Works has been recognised by Entrepreneur, which has featured it among emerging franchise concepts and maintains its listing in the Entrepreneur franchise directory. Its credibility is reinforced by membership in the Premium Service Brands portfolio, an established multi-brand home-services franchisor. As a younger franchise, much of its recognition is still building, so resale buyers should weigh brand-level signals alongside the specific unit's local reviews, referral sources and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Rubbish Works operates in the recession-resistant US junk removal sector, where demand is driven by home decluttering, renovations, estate and foreclosure cleanouts, and commercial and construction-site clearance. North American junk removal is projected to grow at a mid-single-digit annual rate as customers increasingly favour responsible, recycling-focused disposal. Demand is steady year-round and spread across residential and commercial clients, which can reduce reliance on any single revenue source, a useful factor for resale buyers assessing a territory's stability.
