Picking Up Trash Near Me

Removing Trash Bags: For One Neighbor AT A Time

So a few days ago, I was out in good ol’ Tarrant County, TX—you know, where Southern hospitality ain’t just a saying, it’s a way of life. I show up to a customer’s house, and there’s trash bags everywhere. I mean, y’all, it looked like the trash bags were multiplying! But hey, hard work is what we do, and I was ready to get it done.

As I’m hauling bag after bag into the truck, I catch a whiff of something in the air. And I mean, it hit me like a freight train of deliciousness. Italian food. We’re talking spaghetti, marinara sauce, garlic bread—the whole shebang. You would’ve thought I stumbled into an Italian restaurant instead of someone’s garage. I’m out there working, but my stomach is already daydreaming about a plate of pasta.

Then, as I’m in the thick of it, the customer walks out into the garage and says, “Would you like something to eat?”

I stop, turn around, and ask, “Are you talking to me, ma’am?” She just laughs and says, “Of course, I’m talking to you, silly! Come on in and grab a plate.”

Now y’all, I’m not one to turn down a home-cooked meal, so I walk inside—and let me tell you, it was a FEAST. The food was off the chain, better than anything I’ve had in a while. But it wasn’t just the food that hit me—it was the gesture. This sweet lady stopped what she was doing to make sure I was fed and taken care of.

And that right there is why I love working in Junk Removal. It’s not just about the job—it’s about the people. Folks around here show kindness, respect, and a level of hospitality that warms your soul.

This customer didn’t just feed me a meal—she gave me a reminder of why I do what I do. It’s people like her who make this business so much more than just hauling junk. It’s about building relationships, sharing moments, and turning customers into lifelong clients and even friends.

I tell you what, I’ll remember that meal and that act of kindness for a long time. And it’s those little things that keep me going, working harder, and loving every second of this journey.
