Founded in London in 1912, Biffa is a leading UK nationwide integrated waste management business providing collection, treatment, recycling and technologically-driven energy generation services. Through the expertise of our people and investment in technology we promote and deliver sustainable waste management solutions.
We provide an essential service to satisfy the business needs of our commercial, industrial and public sector customers throughout the UK, and help them to meet their legal obligations and corporate responsibility commitments.
We employ 10,000 people and collect waste from thousands of businesses and millions of households across the UK each day.
Our surplus food redistribution partnership with Company Shop Group, and our environmental work with BiffaAward and Waste Aid, also have wider benefits for the UK and beyond.
Since 2002 we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by 70 per cent and aim to be net zero by 2050.
We help homeowners and businesses make space for possibility.
Back in 1989, Brian Scudamore founded 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Vancouver with a single used pickup truck. We created the professional junk removal category.
Across the United States, Canada, and Australia, our uniformed crews now operate approximately 150 franchise locations. We hold roughly 16 percent of the North American market because we treat junk removal as an emotional service, not just a logistical one. You feel the weight of clutter anxiety holding you back. We make junk disappear so you can focus on your next chapter.
You point to the items you want gone. Our Truck Team Members provide an on-site, no-obligation quote and handle all the heavy lifting. We route usable items and recyclables to certified downstream donation and recycling partners wherever local infrastructure allows.
Harvard Business School documented our standardized franchise model in a dedicated teaching case study (HBS Case 808-101). Move.org named us among the Best Junk Removal Companies of 2026. Verified customers on Google and Trustpilot consistently highlight our on-time arrival and transparent pricing.

WHO WE ARE
AnyJunk is reinventing rubbish clearance with technology. Voted one of the UK’s 100 most exciting, fast-growth companies and voted ‘UK Business of the Year 2017‘ by the British Chambers of Commerce.
Founded by Jason Mohr, a former investment banker, who quit the City to revolutionise the junk removal sector. Starting from a single truck (Jason worked on it for the first 6 months), we now undertake up to 400 clearances per day.
OPERATING MODEL
We partner with established waste collection and skip hire companies all over the UK. Our digital platform offers them optional work to suit their capacity and proximity and allows us to closely monitor service levels, track where the waste is disposed, and keep customers updated in real time.
This unique model means our reliability, speed of response and average miles per collection are dramatically better than traditional operators. We are using technology to leverage existing infrastructure efficiently – rather than adding trucks and congestion to the roads – and we’re helping local entrepreneurs (our waste carriers) grow and develop too.
MISSION
Our mission is to be the first choice for getting rid of stuff that’s too big for the bin – based on value for money, peace of mind, and ease of use.
VALUES
Whatever we do, we aim to stay true to our five Core Values:
> Happy teams make happy customers
> Open & Honest – the opposite of a faceless corporate
> Responsible & Safe – in how we operate and how we dispose of waste
> Service to proud of – every job and every day
> Innovating & improving – it should always feel we are getting better
WHITE ELEPHANT LOGO
We chose our logo because elephants are lovable, big guys that can lift stuff and because of the expression ‘white elephant stall’ – which is a local, green and cost-effective way of getting rid of things you no longer want. Just like us.
