About Us

Rubbish Doctor was born from a family’s vision of entrepreneurship, environmental responsibility, and community contribution. Founded in the heart of Durham, Maine, by local resident Tom Hayes and his family, our company began as a platform for Tom’s sons to learn valuable life skills in management and entrepreneurship. Little did we know that this humble beginning would evolve into a transformative force within the junk removal industry.

At Rubbish Doctor, we believe in doing more than just removing clutter. We’re on a mission to redefine the junk removal industry and usher in a new era of responsible waste management. Our core values drive us to pay our employees what they’re truly worth, give back to the community, promote recycling and repurposing, and minimize landfill waste.

As a testament to our dedication to the environment, Tom Hayes became a proud member of “1% For the Planet.” This affiliation underscores our unwavering commitment to preserving our planet for future generations. We take tangible steps to make a difference by planting trees in partnership with One Tree Planted for every customer we serve.

We don’t just stop at responsible waste disposal. We actively engage with our local community by donating essential furniture items to organizations like Furniture Friends in Westbrook and Habitat for Humanity. These partnerships help us extend the life of items that might otherwise end up in landfills.

Under the “Garbage to Gold” Partnerships initiative, we’re inviting other passionate organizations to join us in our vision for a cleaner, more sustainable world. Together, we can turn waste into opportunity and create a lasting impact on our environment.

When you choose Rubbish Doctor, you’re not just hiring a junk removal service; you’re supporting a vision for a better, cleaner world. Join us in making a difference, one piece of rubbish at a time.
