Just Call Scott is a veteran owned and operated company that was born out of desperation, built on faith, and developed with love. Based in Knoxville, TN and servicing the surrounding counties, Just Call Scott has sparked a local movement within the communities with how they are building a sustainable business model geared towards giving back to the community. With future plans to have a storefront and warehouse for both adding value to the company but also providing a place where people in the community can fulfill their wishes through the Junk Genie.

Just Call Scott was formed in 2020 with the original idea of just making some side cash.

Scott served six years in the Marine Corps and was medically discharged a month after 9/11. Finding a job during that time proved to be difficult, so he settled in the construction industry. Never intending to stay in that industry, twenty years later COVID hit and an opportunity came to exit that field. In 2020, he started college and needed to find a way to supplement his income while going to school. Realizing there was a need for people who didn’t have a truck, he started taking on side jobs while maintaining the flexibility needed to attend school. After a short time, Scott decided to start a business as more work was coming in. Over the next year, the business continued to grow, and as his calendar filled up rapidly, he decided to put school on hold to focus fully on the business. He discovered not only a passion for the work itself, but an even greater fulfillment in collecting gently used items and giving them to people in need. Seeing the impact on those receiving help became a driving force, leading to the creation of Junk Genie. Over the course of 2022, he built strong relationships with local ministries and organizations such as Focus Ministries, Compassion Closet, Epperson Ministries, and the Joy School of Music. These connections allow Just Call Scott to extend its reach and provide support to individuals and families in need through donated items.
