The top junk removal items we took in 2024
Our junk removal experts were quite busy last year, helping haul away more unwanted items than ever before. We’ve hit some big milestones, such as making over 78,000 mattresses disappear in 2024! Our teams have also continued to commit to supporting their local communities, working with various charities across the United States, Canada, and Australia.
