WATERLOO — Jim and Jennifer Marlin are hoping to turn other people’s junk into their treasure.
The Marlins are the eastern Iowa franchisees for Junk King, a San Francisco-based company that works with anyone from hoarders to homeowners to clear their homes of one-time keepsakes that have coagulated into collections of clutter. They also purchased the franchise rights to the Des Moines area and plan to open a location there.
