Made In WKY: Rhino Rentals - Tackling Junk Removal, Western Kentucky Style

In the heart of Western Kentucky, a local business is making junk removal easier and more affordable for homeowners, real estate professionals, and contractors alike. Rhino Rentals, founded over 15 years ago by Jeremy Mathis, fills a unique niche by offering smaller, more manageable containers perfect for those projects that fall somewhere between a full-sized dumpster and a standard trash can.

Jeremy Mathis is no stranger to serving the Western Kentucky community. Prior to establishing Rhino Rentals, he co-founded Mathis Trash Service, a testament to his early commitment to addressing waste management needs in the region. It was through this experience that Jeremy identified a gap in the market. He realized that many individuals and businesses had removal needs that didn't warrant the expense and size of traditional large dumpsters.

"He saw a need in Western Kentucky for larger containers than a simple trash can for junk removal and construction debris, and he made it a reality," explains his daughter. This realization led to the birth of Rhino Rentals, offering a practical and budget-friendly solution for decluttering homes, managing small construction sites, and various other junk removal tasks. The containers are designed to be convenient for these smaller projects, making them significantly more affordable than their larger counterparts.

What truly sets Rhino Rentals apart is its deep-rooted connection to the community. Jeremy, along with his wife and one dedicated employee, personally runs the day-to-day operations. This family-owned and operated approach ensures a level of trust and personalized service that resonates with their clientele. Their slogan, "Got junk? Rent a Rhino!" is a catchy and memorable reflection of their core service.

More than just a business, Rhino Rentals was born from a genuine desire to help and serve the community. Jeremy understood that not everyone requires or can afford massive dumpsters, yet the need for efficient waste and debris removal remains. His commitment to providing an accessible solution underscores his dedication to the well-being of Western Kentucky residents and businesses.

"My dad knows that not everyone can afford or has the need for large-scale dumpsters but knew people needed a way to remove items and debris," his daughter proudly shares. "He’s someone who is for the community and wants to help and serve, which is where Rhino Rentals started out, from a good purpose."

Rhino Rentals has become a trusted name throughout Western Kentucky, relied upon by homeowners tackling spring cleaning, real estate professionals preparing properties, and contractors managing renovation debris. Their commitment to affordability, convenience, and community service has solidified their place as a valuable asset to the region.

The story of Rhino Rentals is a testament to identifying a local need and fulfilling it with integrity and a genuine desire to serve. Jeremy Mathis' vision, coupled with the dedication of his family, has created a business that not only provides a necessary service but also embodies the spirit of community that is the hallmark of Western Kentucky.
