Optional:  If You Just Need a Few Things Gone…Freebie Item Removal – Always 100% FREE

If you just need some small items removed instead of a full downsizing, I offer Freebie Item Removal at no charge. I can take small and medium items you no longer want. I have my own process for handling items, so you don’t have to worry about a thing once it leaves your home. Simply mark any item or box that you want removed with “TAKE THIS” and Text to Book:  404-804-2479. That’s it.
