Meet the visionary behind Universal Industries Group
Discover the inspiration, passion, and unique approach of Mariam Yakeen, founder of HireUIG.org, as she transforms waste into opportunity.

Beyond hauling: a mission to transform
The passion driving Universal Industries Group stems from a core belief: service businesses can achieve far more than just completing a task. They possess the potential to significantly reduce waste, create valuable job opportunities, and actively support communities. Every cleanout, every haul, every service provided by UIG is an opportunity to turn everyday work into a meaningful, positive impact.
What started as a practical service has blossomed into a comprehensive mission: to transform waste into opportunity, all while helping individuals and communities move forward. We're proud to contribute to a greener, more resourceful world.

What makes UIG different?
In a city as dynamic as Houston, Universal Industries Group stands apart from other service providers. We don’t merely remove unwanted items; we diligently recover their inherent value. While many companies send items directly to landfills, UIG prioritizes reusing, recycling, and redistributing whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
Our distinctive approach blends exceptionally reliable service with a profound mission: to reduce waste, foster new work opportunities, and transform routine cleanouts into beneficial actions for both our community and the environment.
