Junk Rescue was called to assist in cleaning out the home of an elderly man. The man was unfortunately a severe pack rat in his old age and managed to fill his entire 3 bedroom/2bathroom home to the point that you could not see the floors. The house was mostly filled with VHS tapes, newspapers, 2 liter Coke bottles, and Early-Times Whiskey bottles. We think we figured out what his favorite drink was. After visiting the property, Junk Rescue accepted the challenge and called in some dumpsters from our friends at Novem Waste. Three days later, we had the 1200 sq/ft ranch house completely empty, including the removal of appliances and fixtures. It took 2, 30 yard construction dumpsters, 1, 20 yard construction dumpster, and 2 trips with our 15 yard truck to haul off all of the material. Believe it or not, we were able to recycled over 300 pounds of plastic bottles and about 500 pounds of newspapers and magazines. We also recycled a washer and dryer, 2 refrigerators, a freezer, a microwave, and numerous tv's and other electronics.
