Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors is proud to highlight J&K Trash Removal, Inc., a family-owned business committed to superior service. For over 90 years, J&K Trash Removal, Inc. has provided our residents and businesses with a wide variety of services with the best rates and prompt and courteous care. “We pride ourselves on this service,” said Owners John Blosinski III and Jean Womer (Blosinski). “It is the foundation upon which
this company has been built.”
The Blosinskis have a long history and deep family roots here in Newtown Square and Edgmont, and their service to our community and beyond has been recognized for close to a century. The family first settled on a property in Edgmont when John and Jean’s great-grandfather, Stanley, purchased a 60-acre parcel of land on Delchester Rd in 1927. Then, in 1938, Stanley bought the adjacent 48-acre parcel. He began raising pigs on the farm, and at its height, the farm had over 2,500 pigs and 100 steer. John and Jean’s grandfather, John Sr., worked on the farm and lived in the original farmhouse with his parents, his brother Edward and his sister Florence.
Over time, Stanley began forming relationships with area grocery stores and restaurants to pick up their edible scraps, which he used to feed the pigs. The demand for edible waste disposal and Stanley Blosinski’s services continued to grow to include The Glen Mills School, Blue Ribbon Foods and major Philadelphia food manufacturers like Pillsbury, TastyKake and Pepperidge Farms.
The Blosinki’s waste removal business quickly became as equally successful as their pig farm. There was such a demand for business and household waste disposal services that John’s grandparents, John and Kathleen (J&K), decided to formally establish J&K Trash Removal, Inc. in 1969 with the help of their son, John, Jr. (Bucko). Bucko took over the company from his parents in 1989 and successfully grew the company from three trucks to 15 trucks. John III joined the company after graduating from Penn State in 2008 and was named President in 2014. Jean joined the company in 2014 and became the company’s Corporate Secretary and Treasurer. Today, with Bucko enjoying retirement, John and Jean have grown the company to over 45 trucks and nearly 60 employees.

Each time J&K Secure Shredding shreds for a customer, the customer receives a Certificate of Destruction, which guarantees that the material was shredded
properly. The certificate also proves that the company has taken the required steps to prevent identity theft.

NAID is an information destruction industry-leading association that keeps its members current with all of the new trends, methods and equipment available.
