Our Story
"Make Any Day Garbage Knight"
We have it on good authority that the hardest part of starting a business is not the logistics, planning, or hustle—it’s NAMING IT. When we started Garbage Knights, we thought the name would come to us naturally, but it turned into a quest of epic proportions. We didn’t want to settle for some plain, boring name that faded into the background. We wanted something bold, something memorable, something...not awful.
​
A few good ones were already taken, and, in a moment of desperation, “Trash Terminators” was almost a reality. Almost. During one of our brainstorming sessions (and by brainstorming, we mean procrastinating), we stumbled upon "Rick's Business Naming Service", a video by Oh You Betcha on YouTube shorts. It was about ridiculous business names, and let’s just say we had a good laugh. For a moment, we thought about leaning into the absurdity and going with “T&R Removal”, but we wanted something with a little more substance.
​
One night over dinner, inspiration struck. We were talking about how we wanted to build a business based on certain qualities and noble came up. "Noble service" or doing right by people. And then it clicked: Garbage Knights. Noble, strong, and reliable. The name felt perfect, but what really sealed the deal was the slogan: “Make any day Garbage Knight." A play on words so good (at least we thought so), we immediately knew it was ours. From that moment, Garbage Knights became more than a name; it became our banner, our mission, and our identity. And so, the kingdom of clutter was destined to meet its match.
On the Menu: Humble Pie
Garbage Knights started with 1 truck, 1 trailer and a desire to escape the stress and chaos working for a large corporation can bring. Everyone has experienced businesses that don't seem to care about their customers or employees, that’s why we created a company that stands for integrity, respect, and doing right by people.
​
We are locally owned and to us, you are the King (or ✨Queen✨💅). Your satisfaction is our sacred quest but to the big guys.... well you may be just a commoner.
The GK Difference
​​We bring a “noble” approach to junk removal, providing quick, friendly, and reliable service every time. For us, it’s about more than just clearing out clutter; it’s about serving our community with honesty and heart. This business is a dream realized—one where we can proudly stand behind every job we do.
​
Not everyone has time for a rummage sale. We donate usable items to Habitat for Humanity or St Vincent De Paul. ​​​​​
