Co-owners and lifelong best friends, James McKay and EJ Brueggman, share the desire to create a business that would benefit the community around them.

Their entrepreneurial journey began in high school, when they launched a landscaping business together. Looking back, they now see that venture as the foundation for what would become their pride and joy: The Can King. Driven by a shared vision and strong work ethic, James and EJ created The Can King with a simple goal—make a positive impact while doing something they love—working together.

“We love helping people, we love our community, and we’re here to make your garbage day a hassle-free experience—because you have better things to do!”
