Meet Taylor Chastain - Owner of Up Up & Away Junk Removal

Hi, I’m Taylor Chastain, the proud owner of Up Up & Away Junk Removal. From humble beginnings, I’ve built a business that’s all about delivering reliable junk removal services to the great people of Kennesaw, Marietta, and beyond. Every day, my team and I work to make life a little less cluttered and a lot easier for our customers, and we do it with a personal touch.

How It All Began

The story of Up Up & Away starts back in 2014 when I was just 17 years old. A family friend asked me to haul away some old toilets. I backed my truck into the dump for the first time, threw the toilets on the ground... and they shattered. My first thought was, “That was fun!” My second? “I bet I could get paid for this!”

What started with a borrowed trailer and a $3,000 pickup quickly turned into something bigger. I worked hard to grow this company, guided by values of hard work, reliability, and openhandedness. Since those early days, Up Up & Away has transformed into a full-service junk removal company that serves homes and businesses in the Marietta and Kennesaw areas—and we’ve never looked back.

What We Do

At Up Up & Away Junk Removal, we help people declutter their spaces. From removing old furniture and appliances to clearing out construction debris and even hot tubs, we handle it all. Our junk removal team is experienced, professional, and ready to take on the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. But we don’t just take things to the landfill. We prioritize recycling and donating usable items to local charities because we believe in giving back to the community while doing our part for the environment.

How We Started

Our Mission & Core Values

Our mission is simple: To provide outstanding junk removal services that make a real difference in the lives of our customers. We believe in leaving every job with a smile and a space that’s clean, clutter-free, and ready for whatever comes next. We take pride in reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Our core values are at the heart of everything we do. Hard work, honesty, and a sincere desire to help our customers regain their space and peace of mind -  in an industry that doesn’t always go the extra mile. We make sure our service exceeds expectations every time, delivering peace of mind that your junk is taken care of the most responsible way possible.

Industry Involvement and Recognition

I’m honored to be a member of the Kennesaw Business Association and BOMA Georgia, as well as serving on the Board of the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce. These affiliations help us stay grounded in the community and continuously improve the services we offer.

We’ve been recognized by Best of Cobb County for our junk hauling services, and we’re deeply proud of the work we’ve done to earn that trust.

Giving Back to the Community

Beyond the business, I’m passionate about helping others. I’ve been a volunteer at the Center for Family Resources for over 5 years, assisting families in need. We’re also proud to partner with local realty groups for Earth Day recycling events, and we’ve assisted with disaster recovery efforts when needed.

At Up Up & Away, it’s not just about hauling junk; it’s about making a positive impact.

Thank you for choosing us, and I look forward to continuing to serve our community in the years to come!
