Junk Munkiez Holiday Donations

Junk Munkiez had a goal this last holiday season. To help those in need by bringing the community together. From the 22nd of November til the 24th of December 2018 Junk Munkiez offered free service to those in need! Normally, belongings that are no longer wanted but are still in good condition are donated to accepting donation facilities but we had an idea. What if we could gather a list of names of individuals around Springfield and Eugene, Oregon that were looking for particular goods this holiday season and see if anybody else around town was willing to donate those needed items to them. Junk Munkiez would be the middle man by picking up and delivering them for free. 

We started the project by publishing and promoting a video on Facebook about our plans and if anyone was interested. Word spread quickly and people began responding. We quickly learned of individuals who are homeless and in need of things as simply as a jacket! Other's were just getting into a home and were in need of basic furniture like a kitchen table. One lady was looking out for her friend by asking if we could acquire children's bikes for their friend's kids. Our last participate lost her home and belongings in a fire and was still working to get back on her feet.

To recognize and appreciate the people who donated to the ones in need, we posted pictures and videos of the person who donated next to the item they gave next to a picture of the individual who received it. We explained to the receiver who donated it and what they looked like by showing their pictures or by posting them online on our Facebook page. We even managed to get some individuals communicating with each other. Talk about spreading holiday cheer!

Junk Munkiez Cleans Eugene

Eugene and Springfield, Oregon has a trash problem. A bad one! This is due to the large amount of homeless living within our cities. It's very common to see piles of garbage scattered along city streets. Junk Munkiez decided to help it's community by offering to clean up several locations suggested by community members. The owner, Derek Hatcher did this by publishing a video on Facebook asking residents to provide locations they'd like to see tackled. One by one, I went to the locations shooting live before and after videos on Facebook while mentioning the persons name that suggested it. Over a thousand pounds of debris has so far been collected over a month time span, and the project is still in progress.  A before and after shot at the I-105 bridge next to the Oakway Center where Junk Munkiez removed several hundred pounds of junk and garbage.  More information regarding the volunteer project can be found by simply searching #JunkMunkiezCleansEugene on Facebook....

The House of Horrors

Early October of 2016 Junk Munkiez had its biggest and dirtiest job still to date. We received a call from a lady in Washington asking us what we did exactly and what our prices were. By the sound of her voice you could tell she was in a stressful situation. A tenant they had rented their property to became a drug addict, collecting enormous amounts of trash and junk that he apparently though was useful stuff. It wasn't! To make matters worse he was a messy hunter, having a poached bear hide hanging in a shed that was leaking rain water, preventing the hide from ever drying.  When the tenant stopped paying, the lady and her family had the man evicted but that didn’t stop him from returning. He’d continue living there by breaking into the property which was easy to do considering how far away the family was and the fact the house was far out from the city.  They eventually found out, turned off the power to the house and had a restraining order filed against h...
