WCCB Charlotte Features EasyGig's New Approach to Junk Removal
On August 6, 2026, WCCB Charlotte featured EasyGig, the Charlotte-based startup making junk removal simpler for homeowners and creating flexible income for local pickup truck owners. Reporter Taylor Miller spoke with EasyGig founder and CEO Brendan Little about where the idea came from and how the platform works.
What Did WCCB Cover?
The segment focused on two sides of the EasyGig platform:
- For homeowners and businesses—an easier way to get rid of unwanted items, booked online with pricing shown upfront
- For pickup truck owners—a way to earn flexible income hauling junk in their own community, on their own schedule
WCCB also highlighted EasyGig’s donation option through its partnership with the Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte, which gives usable items a second life instead of sending them to the landfill.
Where Did the Idea for EasyGig Come From?
As Brendan told WCCB, EasyGig was inspired by his own experience hauling junk and by the success of gig-economy services like Uber and DoorDash. The idea was simple: people with pickup trucks already have the one piece of equipment junk removal needs most, but there wasn’t a gig app built for them. EasyGig fills that gap by connecting people who need junk gone with local truck owners who want to earn.
