About the Owner

I was born and raised in Yardley, PA in 1960, one of 11 brothers and sisters. My first job was at the Yardley golf course, pulling carts up the hill at 17th hole and walking in the ponds for golf balls. We sleded down that same hill in the winter and skated on Afton lake. We played along the canal path , fishing and catching frogs and turtles.

At 14, my father, Horace Lee, started me in the junk business -- he called it "Scrap-in". "You call, I'll haul" was hand-painted on the side of his truck, I became his helper with "junkin'" cars. We would pull the gas tanks and drain all of the fluids, then tow them to the Trenton salvage yard to be crushed and recycled. We would round up cardboard, metal, and pallets. All had a different price per pound, and it was all recycled.

I learned a lot from my father back then. I know now that's what we had to do to make ends meet with our big family. The Junk Jeannie is named after my mother, Mrs. Jean H. Lee. Thanks, Mom!
