Thorne graduated in Economics from Queen's University in 2001. Soon after he was employed at Bell Canada as a control centre manager where he was asked to remove 20 years-worth of office junk. At the time there were no such companies which offered any junk removal services. As a result, Thorne identified a need for junk removal services for businesses and residences.[1][2] Thorne left his job and started JustJunk in 2004 in St. Catharines with the goal of providing an easy junk removal service.[3]
The company offers online and over the phone junk removal bookings to offices and homes around Canada and the United States.[4]
