A NOTE FROM ALEX · OWNER OF JUNKPDX
Helping people is the reason I want to build something bigger.
“I’m not rich yet, and I don’t have the money or ability to fix every situation. But helping people is one of the biggest reasons I’m working so hard to build this company. If you see something and think JunkPDX might be able to make it a little better, say something. I can’t promise we can take on every request—but if I know about it, maybe we can find a way to help.”
WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR
You noticed a real need. That is enough to start.
Nobody needs to compete, collect votes, or publicly prove they deserve help. Just tell us what you noticed and why removing the junk could make a meaningful difference.
A senior or person with limited mobility
Someone who wants help but may not have the physical ability or support to move bulky items.
A local organization
A nonprofit, school, mutual-aid group, or community organization with a legitimate cleanup need.
A shared community space
A space that could benefit from cleanup when an authorized person can approve the work.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS POSSIBLE
Help will not look the same every time.
What we can do depends on permission, location, safety, crew availability, disposal cost, and project size. Sometimes the answer may be “not right now.” Sometimes one open spot on a route is enough to make something possible.
- Donating or partially donating a removal service
- Offering a reduced price when the route and costs allow it
- Including the work in a future community-cleanup day
- Connecting the situation with another local resource or trusted partner
HELP WITH DIGNITY
A person’s hard moment is not our content.
No surprise arrival, unwanted outreach, or pressure on the person you mention.
We do not enter a property or schedule service without the right person’s approval.
No name, story, address, photo, or video is shared publicly without clear permission.
