. The spring cleaning season has begun in Sioux Falls. Residents of the selected neighborhoods for the project Nice and Keep have placed their unwanted goods on the street for the city crews.
In tonight’s Your Money Matters a local businessman has developed a service to assist homeowners in removing junk all year round.
Courtney Hardie, of Sioux Falls, said that she had a futon, sofa, mattress, old art materials, and a number of boards.
This is a list of items that you may find in your garage or shed. But when the time comes to get rid of all this junk, it’s not always easy to know what to do.
Hardie added: “Especially when only certain garbage can go to this or that place.”
Angela Drake, owner of Two Men and a Junk Truck said that customers are amazed by the ease with which they can make a single call and have everything handled.
Drake held an official ribbon-cutting for its new recycling service this week.
We can come and remove the clutter that is accumulating in your house. We then divert the waste from landfills. Drake explained that they have tried to find other homes for the items instead of dumping them in landfills.
Hardie explained that “trying to keep all the stuff out of landfills is a really sustainable project, as well as a fantastic way and very hands-off method of getting rid things you don’t need.”
Hardie, who was a client of this new service for junk removal last month, says that it was the easiest thing she has ever done.
It didn’t take a single finger to do it. “I just pointed, and they picked it up and placed it in their vehicle,” Hardie explained.
The men will fill the container. Drake added, “We then find homes for these items.”
The furniture mission, Habitat for Humanity, and other nonprofits in the area work together with two men and their junk truck to see if they can find another use for the junk that is being moved before it goes to the landfill.
