How It Started

The founder grew up in Wilmington, DE — K through 12, local schools, deep roots in the community. He started hauling junk for neighbors as a side hustle. One truck. One guy. Word got around because he did something most people in this business don't — he showed up when he said he would, charged what he quoted, and got the job done right.

What started as weekend work turned into a full-time business built on word of mouth. No marketing gimmick. No franchise fee. Just a reputation earned one job at a time in Wilmington, Delaware.

Today, Scrap Squad runs two trucks and a dump trailer, with a box truck and second dump trailer on the way. The crew works with a crew of friends from the community — guys who care about doing the work right because their names are on it too.

What We Stand For

Show Up On TimeWhen we say 9, we're there at 9. Not 9:30. Not "sometime this morning." Your time matters.
Charge What We QuoteThe price we give you on-site is the price you pay. No bait-and-switch. No surprise fees after the truck is loaded.
Leave It Cleaner Than We Found ItWhen Scrap Squad finishes a job, the space is swept, cleared, and ready for whatever comes next.
Recycle & Donate FirstWe sort every load. Metal to recycling. Usable items to local organizations. As little as possible to the landfill.
Give Back to WilmingtonThe goal is: grow big enough for free neighborhood cleanups and a free furniture store for the community.

Why Scrap Squad Over a Franchise?

When you call 1-800-GOT-JUNK or College Hunks, you're calling a national franchise. Their crews rotate. Their pricing follows a corporate formula. They don't know Wilmington.

When you call Scrap Squad, you're talking to the people who actually do the work. No franchise fees or corporate overhead baked into the price — which means you pay less for the same work, done by people who live in your community. Our reputation in Wilmington is everything.
