The job of collecting trash from people’s homes landed us in some strange scenarios, including finding unexplainable items. From narcotics to personal items… unexpected bedroom finds, 1-800-GOT-JUNK provides a behind-the-scenes look at what would appear on an episode of Hoarders.

As we mentioned before, what we discuss is sensitive material that might not be for the faint of heart, because not only for the mentions of narcotics, but also how mental health can affect one’s living situation. Inside a home, is a window to the life of the one who is living there, because everyone has something that will make it unique. Kamloops is home to some of the strangest people to walk with this planet, and at 1-800-GOT-JUNK, you are tasked with going into those people’s homes. Listen to Brett’s story and let us know if you have anything weirder than Brett’s mannequin in your closet. At the end of the story, I present our next guest for next week’s episode, so stay tuned to find out!

Until then, keep it weird, Kamloops!
