Like many businesses, Michael and Amanda started something out of necessity and realized they could bless their community and provide for their family by expanding what they do. Businesses like Area 661 Hauling are proof that you can start small and build as you go!

Let's get on to the Forsythe's story.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Michael and Amanda Forsythe. We are from Bakersfield, California.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?

We are a family-owned and operated business. We started in July of 2023. We are a junk removal company specializing in hoarder houses, eviction clean-ups, construction debris, storage unit cleanouts, deliveries of materials, and more. We recycle and donate everything we can so recyclables and reusables stay out of landfills. In January of 2024, we added dumpster roll-off rentals to our services.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?

I originally bought a dump trailer because I was tired of using a utility trailer to take my wife's trash to the dump. After seeing a few trailers with junk haulers on them I started doing research. I started to watch a lot of YouTube Videos that kept me up all night. Sonoma Strong and Clayton from Rolling Ops.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF WHAT YOU DO?

I love that I have so many returning clients. We enjoy helping people become clutter-free.

HOW DOES YOUR MAXX-D TRAILER HELP YOU GET WORK DONE?

It simplifies the cleaning process. It makes it so easy to be able to drop a dumpster, walk in and load super easily. When renting it's simple to off load and simple to pick up. Jobs get done quickly.

WHICH MAXX-D DEALER DID YOU BUY FROM?

Bronco Trailer in Goshen, CA The owner, Sam is a great guy and was very helpful with all our questions. As the business expands and we are able to purchase more dumpsters we will be returning.

REDUCE, RECYCLE, REPEAT

Michael and Amanda don't just help to clean up their community, they try to recycle the items when they can to reduce waste. Their MAXX-D trailer and dumpsters empower people to reduce their clutter and junk so they can live happier, fuller lives. 

The trailer Area 661 Hauling uses is the MAXX-D ROX with bins.
