​Purple Cow Junk Removal and Home Services was started in the spring of 2021 by our owner and operator, Josiah Ragsdale. He has also owned another automotive equipment business for a few years. It was a pretty simple transition to add Ames Junk Removal to our tool belt because we already had all the equipment we needed from the automotive equipment business. We already had a pickup with a long bed and a few different trailers. The dump box trailer is used most regularly. We started by getting a few calls from people asking if we could come pick up some junk for them. We decided to go ahead and send a couple guys out to clean out a garage. And it actually worked out really well. The owners of the garage were really pleased with our work and we found that the work was a great addition to what we can offer customers. As we continued to get more Ames Junk Removal leads, it became clear that we should pursue this area of work more intentionally. So we picked a business name and got started! A lot of people ask us about our name, Purple Cow Junk Removal and Home Services. A purple cow is something that catches your attention and stands out. If you saw a purple cow in a herd of brown and black cows, it would certainly catch your attention. That is what we wanted for this business. We want to stand out, catch your attention, and show how we are different from other companies. Our name isn’t the only thing about us that stands out. Our services, our team, our fair pricing, and our recycling and redistribution are all aspects of our business that make us stand out from other companies.

Here at Purple Cow Junk Removal and Home Services, we ensure that our staff is of the highest quality and are trained to take on any task you throw at them. Before we hire any junk removal experts, we have them interview. If they seem like they will be a good fit in our team for Ames Junk Removal, then they move on to a job shadow. They come for a day and shadow a trained staff member to make sure they seem normal and diligent. If after that experience, they want to continue in the process and we think they would be a good addition to the Purple Cow Junk Removal and Home Services team, they get hired and start training. For all of our junk removal experts, we inventory what all our team members’ strongest skills are and what tasks they know how to do best. Then we assign people to jobs that match their skills.
