Weston brothers running junk removal business
Weston High School students Dominic and Christian Rivard, who respectively are in their senior and junior years, have been running a junk removal business for the past few years that they say is actually based in Wellesley, includes plenty of Wellesley customers, and results in them bringing stuff to the Wellesley give and take area at the Recycling & Disposal Facility.
Of Junk Monsta Junk Removal, Dominic writes: “We started Junk Monsta with a simple goal—to help people clean up and clear out their spaces. What began as a few weekend jobs has grown into a real business that we manage alongside our schoolwork, sports, and other responsibilities. From marketing and scheduling to hauling and customer service, we run every part of the company ourselves.”
