Take a moment right now and ask yourself this question: “What is junk?”
The point of this exercise is not to address an existential conundrum or to trick you with a riddle. The word junk can mean different things to different people, but as the foremost authority on all things junk, we are here to tell you that the possibilities for what it can be are endless!
Junk can be trash, but doesn’t have to be, and typically it isn’t anything even closely resembling it. We make a great effort to turn the items we remove from our clients’ properties into donations, so what may have been considered the “J” word to one person is actually a new and exciting possession to someone else.
Junk can be clutter, occupying valuable space in a home that could be used for much better purposes. Playing a role in the reclamation of a home’s space is a rewarding component of the work that we do. We always love to see the look of relief on a client’s face when they see the empty space that was previously overwhelmed with stuff!
So, while the broad definition of what we haul away may be useless, the fact of the matter is that it can be so much more. Perhaps most surprisingly, junk can turn into new opportunities – both for the people getting rid of it and those who end up with it.
