Trash and Stash has been simplifying lives since 2021 by transforming clutter into opportunity. In 2024 alone, we diverted 265,151 pounds of junk from landfills through recycling, donation, and reuse—handling everything from warehouse debris and large printers to pallets and household items. Our eco-friendly approach, rooted in transparency and guilt-free service, has earned us nearly 1,000 five-star reviews and the trust of homeowners, businesses, and nonprofits alike.

The Sustain Charlotte Awards, now in their 13th year, honor local leaders advancing sustainability and equity in the Charlotte region. Trash and Stash was recognized for prioritizing the circular economy, supporting local businesses, and donating to charities like the Isabella Santos Foundation. “We’re humbled to stand alongside such inspiring nominees,” said Cameron Ungar, founder of Trash and Stash. “This award is a testament to our team’s hard work and our customers’ belief in sustainable practices. It fuels our responsibility to keep the Carolinas green and clutter-free.”

From recycling 80 cubic yards of pallets to responsibly disposing of commercial equipment for clients like Shutterfly, Trash and Stash exemplifies how small businesses can drive big change. Our B-Corp certification, earned in 2023, underscores our dedication to environmental stewardship, equitable hiring, and community engagement.

“We’re grateful to Sustain Charlotte for shining a light on sustainability leaders,” Ungar added. “This win inspires us to double down on our mission: making junk removal stress-free, sustainable, and impactful for generations to come.”
