Hi, I’m Paul Tomezak I own the Sydney South and Inner-West Sydney Franchise of 1800-GOT-JUNK?. I started hauling rubbish in January of 2007 as the second franchise in all of Australia. Before I began my life as a junkman, I worked in corporate sales in the US and in Australia. My family and friends were quite surprised when I decided to swap the suit and tie for a crisp blue 1800-GOT-JUNK? uniform!
Being a locally owned and operated rubbish removal business we have the opportunity to donate reusable junk to local charities such as St. Vincent DePaul Society, The Salvation Army and Just Enough Faith. My wife and I are both happy to donate and recycle as much rubbish as possible to keep it out of local landfills. I make it my mission to recycle or donate more than 50% of the items we pick up on a daily basis. more bio >>
We have two junk trucks running full time in and around South Sydney. Our goal is to WOW! every customer each and every time we arrive on a job. If you are living or working in Sydney’s Inner West or South Metro Area of Sydney, please give us a call to help you get your space back.

G'day! I'm Shannon Keeler, the General Manager for the 1800-GOT-JUNK? corporate franchise in Sydney. I'm a native of Bunbury, Western Australia. I have a wonderful wife “Bec” and a beautiful new baby girl, Cody, who was born in April of this year.
I started with 1800-GOT-JUNK? in May 2008 to the surprise of a few friends, “JUNK removal… hmmm” was the common reply. I originally thought that junk and rubbish removal would be a huge change from my previous background in furniture retail, however, after three months running my franchise, I now believe that they are basically the same concept. We both provide our customers with a solution for their changing lifestyles! The solution offered by 1800-GOT-JUNK? We give you your space back, professionally and hassle free!
One of the many fantastic things about 1800-GOT-JUNK? is that our rates are based solely on volume and not on time or weight. You only pay for the amount of space your junk takes up in the back of our truck. Labour and weight is all included. more bio >>
Considering the effort it took me to clean up all the rubbish we had from our last move from Perth to Sydney, when I factor in my time, hiring a truck, insurance and so on, I wish I had known about 1800-GOT-JUNK?. It would have been cheaper and much easier just to pick up the phone and let someone else do all the hard work!
1800-GOT-JUNK? has been very successful overseas and launched here in Australia in 2005. We have a growing fleet of truck and team members that service most of the Sydney area and we also have four other 1800-GOT-JUNK? franchises in Australia, including two in Queensland.
We are located across the road from the Artarmon Bunnings Hardware Super Store between the Gore Hill freeway, Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards and Artarmon Railway Station.
It has been great to see how many people have seen our trucks and used our service. You will often see our clean, shiny trucks roaming the streets of the lower north shore of Sydney including Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay, North Sydney, Chatswood, Artarmon, Rosevile, Castlecrag, Northbridge, and Willoughby to the Eastern suburbs, which include the Central Business District (CBD), Bondi, Paddington, Double Bay, Surry Hills, Vaucluse, Rose Bay, Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay, and Rushcutters Bay. We’re also members of the Chatswood and Mosman Chamber of Commerce.
We recently expanded the business to the Northern Beaches including Manly, Seaforth, Newport to Palm Beach, as well as the Epping, Gladesville, Ryde areas and beyond!.
We are doing our very best to recycle and donate as much as possible. Our goal is to donate and recycle 50% of the product that we pick up in order to keep as much junk as possible out of our local landfills. We also support local charities such as St Vincent De Paul and the Salvation Army. We’re constantly on the lookout for new charities interested in donations, so if you’re reading this and can help us out, give us a call at 1800-GOT-JUNK? (1800-468-586).
I love 1800-GOT-JUNK?. We provide the highest level of customer service in an industry that generally does not know the meaning of service. So, if you have rubbish or junk to be removed, give me a call. I’d love to help you out.

"...I was incredibly happy with the work your team did for me, it was a very stressful situation for me, yet they put me completely at ease & really made a huge impact in my home. I don’t know if you have any internal rewards & recognition program, but I’d like to nominate them both if you do! They are both true assets to your business. Your company is in my phone and on my bookmark list permanently for any future work I need done. I work in marketing, but have a background in sales and customer service & I’m incredibly impressed with the end to end customer experience. My own very large company could learn a thing or two!..."-- Jill Saunders, Lane Cove, Oct 2007
