Chase Technology owned and operated by Michael Ireland has open an office at the corner of Chambers Avenue and Broadway in Gloucester City, NJ.

\”If you are in need of PC/MAC repairs,, website design, photography, or graphics, Chase Technology is the company to call\”, Bill Cleary, ClearysNoteBook.

Below is some background about Chase Technology.

Company History
Chase Technology started as a small company and still runs that way today. Our friends and clients have increased, but our small group employees have always remained the same.

Chase Technology officially started in 2001 as a side project of Michael Ireland. Like many businesses it started with one client and dramatically grew from there. Over time quality work, exceptional prices, and quick turn-around times have given Chase Technology the reputation of a company of excellence in South Jersey.

We choose not to be the big corporate giant chain, we like being the little company that knows each one of our customers on a personal level. When we see you on the streets, we’re able to say \”Hello\” because you’re not only our client, you’re our friend.

Team Members

Name: Michael Ireland
Position: Owner, Primary Site Developer
Every since a young age Michael has had the habit of taking electronics apart to see how they work. Sometimes they went back together again, sometimes something better was built with the parts. Everything changed in 1998 when he acquired his first personal computer. He hasn’t looked back since. With an obsession to know everything about computers he taught himself everything there is to know about computers including hardware/software repair, web site design, graphic design, movie editing, and even game development.

In 2000 Michael started working for an industry giant named Staples: The Office Supply Superstore as a part time computer salesman. At the same time he started going to school to get his degree in business management. He excelled at Staples getting promoted 3 times in the first year. Setting multiple company sales records he was Managing his own store by mid-2001 while still going to school to get degree. Staples provided him relevant work experience and knowledge that would help him run his own company in the future. In 2002 Michael received his degree and parted ways with Staples to start his own business, which happened to be Chase Technology.

With the technology field becoming so large, and Chase Technology being such a big part of that, Michael\’s personally stock is destined to keep going up for years to come.

A letter carrier from the Gloucester City Post Office sent me the following TIP earlier this week.

•  \”As I approached a house where the homeowner was clearing out debris and placing it at the curb for pick-up the Waste Management trash people pulled up. I heard them tell the woman that there was too much trash to pick-up as it exceeded the 10 item limit. I then heard them tell her that a nice monetary tip would take all the trash away. The woman looked stunned and declined their offer. The trash men took a few items and left the rest.

•  \”As I came down the other side of the street the homeowner came out to me and related the following. She had called the City Highway Department to complain and was told by a woman on the phone that this is not the first time they had heard of the trash people from Waste Management soliciting money.

•  \”Regarding the limit on trash (10 bags). I have seen numerous homes with a lot more than 10 items and have seen the trash men take it with no questions asked.\”

•  Bill, have you ever heard of a limit on trash to be picked up? Since my daughter and son- in- law live in your town and pay taxes I would be inclined to believe that they have a right to have their trash hauled away. And now what happens to all the trash that was not picked up? Does it have to be taken back in till next trash day or will it sit there creating an eyesore. If the city is aware that the Waste Management trash men are soliciting tips why isn’t anyone doing something about this?

Gloucester City Mayor Bill James was contacted. After investigating he explained that yes there is a 10 bag trash limit.

\”We had a problem for a while with some building contractors. Instead of paying for a trash dumpster they were placing the refuse from a building site on the sidewalk for the city to pick up. Some contractors working elsewhere were bringing the trash from the job home with them and setting it out for the City to pickup. The limit was put in place to correct this problem.

\”However, there are exceptions to every rule. For example, if someone is cleaning out a house or an apartment and has more than 10 bags they can arrange for pickup by calling the Highway Department at 456-0781. In some cases a supervisor from the highway department will come to the residence to view the trash in person.

\”Waste Management, the contractor the City hired to pick up the trash is paid by the City. No employee from Waste Management is authorized to solicit money for trash pickup. If this happens the resident is urged to call the Highway Department and report the incident. We in turn contact Waste Management and they look into the accusation.

\”As for the TIP you received. The woman followed the proper procedure. She called the Highway Department. And the City contacted Waste Management. \”
