Sometimes the items you want to get rid of are a big problem because of their size. TVs, appliances, and furniture are often just too big to pick up and take to the curb. Even if you do get them there, your regular trash removal service may not take large items. You may also have large things that aren’t junk that you want to donate or recycle. Many organizations won’t pick them up, so the...

Who would have thought that a charity ball would lead me to a great way to serve our community? That’s exactly what happened to me with Loudoun Habitat for Humanity. In March 2016, my wife and I were invited to attend the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity Masquerade Ball. We had never been to a formal charity ball before, so we figured there has to be a first time for everything! We went and we had a...

March 25 was a great day for trash recovery in Purcellville, Virginia! Pack Rat Hauling volunteered to participate in the town-wide clean up that day. I saw the article in the Purcellville Gazette highlighting this event and knew I wanted to help. More than 300 volunteers were part of this clean-up, the most ever for this event. Church groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and western Loudoun...

A huge thank you to all of our clients, friends, family and employees. We couldn’t have done this without you! Last year, we...

I grew up in Lincoln, Virginia, so I was really happy to be part of a recent effort to help a local Korean War Veteran. I have known Asbury Lloyd for years (more about that later), so it was very special to me to help him with junk removal and roll off dumpster services. Asbury is 88 years old. His house burned down last February. He has had trouble selling the lot because there was trash and...

When we were hired to do a cleanout for a foreclosure in Purcellville, we never imagined that one of the items left behind would be a six-foot eagle statue! As you can imagine, this item made quite an impression in the home’s foyer. This was a distressed home with about 9,000 square feet of living space. Our job was to provide junk removal and hauling of items that were left behind at the...
