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.
The company offers online and over the phone junk removal bookings to offices and homes around Canada and the United States.[3]
