The saying "one man's trash is another's treasure" is a sentiment few deep-sea divers would agree with after uncovering centuries-old chests filled with used eye patches and cans of New Coke. Dispose of unwantables responsibly with today's Groupon: for $59, you get one-eighth of a truckload of junk removal from 1-800-GOT-JUNK? (a $152 value). One-eighth of a load is 2 cubic yards. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? services homes within the Calgary city limits.

An internationally respected decluttering outfit that’s been buzzed about on Dr. Phil and CNBC, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? hauls away any unwanted items that can be lifted by two able-bodied picker uppers. After customers book their junk-removal appointment by calling on the phone or lighting a rooftop trash beacon, an expert team will arrive to homes on time to survey the loot and ferry it to the belly of a hungry truck. The junk fighters can exile leaves, rubbish, and garbage from yards or move inside to declutter offices and haul away old furniture. Homeowners can rid themselves of bulky tires for a $5 surcharge or send away unwanted Freon-based appliances—including fridges, freezers, and air-conditioning units—for an $18 surcharge. With an eye for responsible disposal, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? successfully diverts around 60 per cent of the soiled sofas and haywire Rube Goldberg machines it collects and donates or recycles the spoiled spoils whenever possible.
