From One Veteran to Another: Our First Job in Evergreen

July 14, 2026 3 min read

This week, Troops Junk Removal took on our first job up in Evergreen, Colorado — and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful jobs we've done yet.

The call came in from a fellow veteran who owns a home tucked into the mountainside. He needed a pile of old lumber and an old bench hauled away, and like every customer, he wanted to know exactly what it would cost before we ever showed up. That's easy for us — we quote a flat rate, up front, with no hidden fees and no surprises on the invoice. What we quote is what you pay. Period.

Mountain Roads Are No Match for Our Box Truck

Evergreen's roads are beautiful, but they're not exactly built with a 16-foot box truck in mind. Narrow switchbacks, tight driveways, steep grades — it's a different kind of driving than a flat street in the city. Years of backing this truck through mountain terrain paid off, and we got in, loaded up, and got out without a scratch. It's one of the reasons we can say yes to jobs that other junk removal companies might turn down. If your property is tricky to access, that's exactly the kind of job we want to hear about.

A Job Done Right, For a Great Guy

The lumber pile and bench were cleared out quickly and efficiently, and we left the property looking exactly how it should. But honestly, the best part of the day was just getting to work with this homeowner. Veteran to veteran, there's a level of trust and mutual respect that makes a job like this feel less like a transaction and more like helping out a neighbor. We're grateful he trusted us with his home and his time.

Flat Rate. No Hidden Fees. Every Time.

Whether it's a small pile of lumber on a mountain property or a full cleanout in the city, our pricing approach doesn't change: transparent, flat-rate quotes so you always know what you're paying before we start.

If you've got junk piling up — anywhere in the Front Range, mountain driveway or not — give Troops Junk Removal a call. We'll get you a straight answer and a straight price.
