This mission ensures their services benefit their customers, the planet, and the community. Recycling and donating are core practices that align their business with environmentally friendly principles.

In 2014, what started as a teenage favor turned into a lifelong passion for Taylor Chastain, the founder of Up Up and Away. At just 17 years old, Taylor was asked to haul some old toilets to the dump. Watching them shatter on impact sparked a thought:
