Green Superheroes Of Waste UNITE!
Ninja Turtles, Battle Toads, Frog Hauling… Yeah, we’re all tight, bro. Waste is bad, “ummkay”. But without waste we wouldn’t have some of the best comic book characters ever, IMHO. Take a look at these comic book characters who came alive from the waste of the world.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael. Named after four Renaissance artists and trained in the art of ninjitsu by their sensei mutant rat, Master Splinter, these four reptiles-turned-humanoid martial artists evolved out of nuclear waste that washed into the storm sewers of New York City. They battle petty criminals, evil overlords, alien invaders as well as evil mutated beasts born from the same toxic ooze. First appearing in comic book form, they later expanded into a cartoon series, films, video games toys and other merchandise. During the peak of franchise’s popularity in the late 1980s through the early 1990s, the franchise gained considerable worldwide success and fame.
Battletoads
The Battletoads: Rash, Zitz, and Pimple were originally ordinary teenage roommates Dave, George and Morgan who worked as computer technicians for game programmer, Silas Volkmire. The group was testing his latest invention – a sort of virtual reality gaming system which allows players to fully enter the Gamescape through a unique, computer-generated portal. Once inside, they would transform into anthropomorphic toads to battle programmed rivals such as Psyko Pigs, an army of rats and their Dark Queen, all created by Silas. The trio becomes physically mutated and trapped in the gaming system by Volkmire and the Dark Queen to find out the Dark Queen is very real and the gaming system merely serves as a portal between Earth and the Dark Queen’s world and minions, who wish to be rid of the Battletoads and break through the portal to dominate Earth forever.
The Battletoads generated 4 video games and an arcade. Their story was also adapted for an animated pilot with the back story of Battletoads also being published in a Nintendo Power comic.
Toxic Avenger
Once a weakling janitor, Melvin Ferd III was always getting bullied by a particular group of customers at the Tromaville Health Club in New Jersey. As the days go on, the harassment intensifies to a climax of poor Melvin being chased around the club and out of a second floor window from which he falls into a drum of toxic waste. Despite his best efforts to wash it off, it transforms and disfigures him, though resulting in developing superhuman size and strength along with a keen instinct for tracking down evildoers! Toxie vanquishes thugs, drug dealing gangs, pimps and goons, corrupt politicians and eventually leads a gang of mutated superheroes to destroying a group of polluting aliens. All this while making time to help the elderly across the street! The Toxic Avenger has spawned 4 feature films, a series of comic books, an animated spin-off, and even a musical!
Frog Hauling

We provide an exceptional trash hauling and junk removal delivery service and accurately sized containers to residential and commercial customers.

Our goal is to recycle as much as we can of the junk we remove and trash that we haul. When possible we recycle the junk that we remove (metals, wood, plastic, tires, cardboard, Eco items, etc.). If items are salvageable, we take them to an appropriate charity drop off location.
