# Junky Gurus LLC - Complete LLM Context

> We Love Your Junk (So You Don't Have To)

Professional junk removal in Mount Vernon, WA and the Puget Sound Region. We're the junk-obsessed humans behind the truck, and we're here to make your clutter disappear.

## Who We Are

Junky Gurus is a locally owned junk removal company based in Mount Vernon, Washington. We serve the greater Puget Sound Region including Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish, and King Counties.

### The Origin Story

We got into this business because we were tired of seeing people get ripped off by junk removal companies. Hidden fees? No-shows? Workers who leave your place messier than they found it? Hard pass.

We figured there had to be a better way. Spoiler alert: there is, and you're looking at it.

### What Makes Us Different

**We're not a franchise. We're your neighbors.**
- When you call, you get us — real humans who care, not a robot, not a call center
- We treat your home like it's our mom's house (Hi, Mom!)
- We show up when we say we will. Revolutionary, we know.

**We don't do hidden fees.**
- What we quote is what you pay
- No "surprise" disposal charges
- No fuel surcharges that mysteriously appear on the invoice

**Where your junk actually goes:**
- First choice: Donate to Habitat for Humanity ReStore and local charities
- Second choice: Recycle metals, electronics, and recyclables properly
- Last resort: Landfill only what truly can't be reused or recycled
- Proud partner of Habitat for Humanity ReStore — helping build homes and hope

**We make it ridiculously easy.**
- Same-day service often available
- Book online in 60 seconds
- AI-powered photo estimates — snap a pic, get a price
- ¡Hablamos Español!

### Our Guiding Principles (We Actually Follow These)

1. **Respect for Your Property**: We treat your home like it's our mom's house.
2. **Local & Personal**: Real humans, not call centers.
3. **Reliable & Trustworthy**: We show up when we say we will.

### Environmental Commitment: Where Your Junk Actually Goes

We don't just haul your stuff to the nearest landfill. Every item goes through our disposal hierarchy:

1. **Donate (First Choice)**: Usable furniture, appliances, and household items go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore and local charities—giving your stuff a second life.
2. **Recycle (Second Choice)**: Metals, electronics, cardboard, and recyclables go to proper facilities. We sort it so the planet doesn't pay the price.
3. **Dispose Responsibly (Last Resort)**: Only what truly can't be reused or recycled goes to the landfill.

We're proud partners of **Habitat for Humanity ReStore** — helping build homes and hope in our community.
