About Harrisonburg — The Friendly City
Harrisonburg calls itself "The Friendly City" and it earns the name. Home to about 55,000 people and two major universities — James Madison University and Eastern Mennonite University — Harrisonburg has an energy and diversity that's rare for a city its size in Virginia. The downtown Court Square area buzzes with independent restaurants, coffee shops, and a thriving arts community. The Shenandoah Valley backdrop and proximity to Massanutten Resort and Shenandoah National Park make outdoor access a way of life.
Some Harrisonburg favorites: Court Square Theater for independent film and performances. Clementine Cafe for creative American food in a cozy atmosphere. Josh Ladon's 24-Hour Diner is a local institution. The Virginia Quilt Museum is genuinely world-class. And for the college crowd, the area around JMU has an intensity of activity that translates into a LOT of moving and junk removal needs.
The JMU student cycle creates one of the most predictable junk removal patterns in Central Virginia: every May and August, apartments across Harrisonburg turn over, and enormous amounts of furniture, appliances, and household goods get left behind or need to be moved. We're in Harrisonburg frequently during these peak periods — and we donate as much as possible rather than filling the Rockingham County landfill.
Why Harrisonburg Residents and Property Managers Call Us
Beyond the student cycle, Harrisonburg has a growing permanent residential population and a surrounding Rockingham County farming community that generates regular estate cleanout and property clearing needs. The city's older neighborhoods — many within walking distance of downtown — have homes that have been in families for generations and contain the full scope of accumulated belongings.
We serve Harrisonburg city and Rockingham County including Massanetta Springs, Bridgewater, Dayton, and surrounding communities. At about 45 miles from Charlottesville, Harrisonburg is our furthest regular service city — and we've found it worth every mile.
