After getting repeated requests for dumpster bag pick up, Cody Conner of Snap Junk Removal seized the opportunity and bought an I-beam lift truck dedicated to specifically this purpose. Some of the problems ordinarily encountered with larger waste management companies who sell these bags is that they don’t provide quick service as far as ability to get on their schedule for a pick up, and they also have a different lift system and larger truck, which prevents them from picking up the bag from anywhere but curbside. In that regard, they’ve gotten too big for their own good, and customer service suffers as a result. By using a smaller truck with an I-beam rail with a winch at the end that can roll up and down the rail beam, Snap Junk Removal is able to get up their customers driveways further into their property behind gates going to the backyard.
Sometimes customers buy a major brand dumpster bag and fill it with their junk only to find that they’re having trouble getting the supplier to pick it up due to where they put it on their property, or having trouble getting it picked up within reasonable time frame. Snap Junk Removal has wound up picking up several of these other companies waste bags a month, sometimes 3 or on one single property. Now they have a special I-beam lift truck that allow them to access locations from within customers’ properties that other companies can’t, so the dumpster bag does not have to be curbside. Snap Junk Removal is also a more customer friendly dumpster company than some of the larger competitors and can get to customers to pick up the waste bag quicker than they can.
Customers can reach Snap Junk Removal at 281-610-6682 to get their dumpster bag hauled off today. Yes, it can be up a ways on the driveway, or anywhere else a truck can be backed up to. Many customer choose these waste dumpster bags for convenience purposes and not having to deal with waiting on roll-off dumpster deliveries, and also sidestep rental fees associated with renting dumpsters past the number of days included in the up front price. They also help avoid cracked driveways from large dumpster delivery trucks. The trouble customers run into is when its time to get their bag picked up it often takes longer than is reasonable, and they also run into trouble about how picky the service providers are about where the bag (which is now full and pretty much impossible to move without heavy equipment) is put on their property.
The I-beam lift winch can also be used to pick up other larger and heavier items like golf carts, BBQ pits, small trailers, and and more.

Addicted to heroin and unable to stop on his own, Brian Storm sits on the tracks waiting for a train to come and take his life. But things weren’t always this bad for Brian, an aspiring white rapper from Philadelphia who had a good upbringing. In Brian’s early teen years, he discovers that drugs and alcohol are the perfect solutions to his low self-esteem issues. Like most addicts and alcoholics, Brian believes he can stop at any time, so he doesn’t see any harm in continuing to drink and smoke weed. What he doesn’t know is that with every sip and every puff, he falls deeper into a world of crime and desperation.
“The Struggle” is a gripping true story that takes you through the life of an alcoholic/addict who hits rock bottom but quickly learns that the more he tries to dig himself out, the deeper that bottom gets. It takes a blessing in disguise for Brian to finally get the help he needs, but when he does, he learns that The Struggle is far from over.
Kirkus Reviews praised The Struggle by describing how “Storm’s spare, matter-of-fact storytelling style is mostly free of melodrama and personal mythmaking…A frank and affecting remembrance of personal struggle and triumph.” The Struggle was also selected as an editor’s pick by Booklife, stating “Writing with crisp clarity and power, plus an eye for the telling detail… This searing but wise account of addiction and recovery inspires as much as it harrows.”
Brian Storm grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where he discovered a passion for writing at an early age. However, a drug addiction took priority over Brian’s life, as he spent the next 15 years selling drugs to support his habit.
Eventually, Brian turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program, where he discovered a passion for helping other alcoholics and addicts. Years later, Brian pursued a career at the Free Library of Philadelphia and went back to school to obtain his Associate of Arts Degree.
“The Struggle: 10 Years Later” is available in hardback, paperback, E-book, and large print. An audiobook will be available later this year. Please visit Brianstormbooks.com for more info.
