Being disabled I need someone that will remove the items from the bedroom and also assist me to unpack a new vacuum packed mattress. I can pay and estimate the job will take 30 minutes. Then dumping on top of that. The items are clean but now unusable. You will need a truck or trailer or something. I am waiting on some of the new items to arrive so am looking at late next week. Or recommendations of a very friendly service. I can afford to pay $150-$200, payment will need to be via bank transfer, plus a $50 Warehouse giftcard I won in an online draw, for doing a survey. I don't get out to shop now and can't use the card online.
