FYI, i ran across an interesting small business recently, & thought i’d share:

Michael White is owner, & his service removes junk for a fee.  he’s got a sizable truck; will remove a lot or a little, like a single appliance.   he’ll even dig the stuff out for u–u just tell him what to haul off.

website is: www.thejunkbustersnc.com

ph # is:  1-888-544-JUNK

seems like a good idea to me!  plenty o’junk around Chatham County, IMHO….
