Junk Removal in Polk City, FL

If you've driven I-4 between Orlando and Lakeland, you've seen Polk City across Lake Agnes to the north. Get off at the SR-559 exit and you're there in minutes. The town sits at the junction of SR-33 and SR-559, and it's the only incorporated town inside the 500,000-acre Green Swamp. That means water on every side and a lot of land that will never be a subdivision.

Fantasy of Flight is the landmark, a museum with the largest privately owned aircraft collection in the world and a seaplane ramp on the 375-acre lake. Around it, Polk City stayed small and rural while everything else in the region grew. Homes sit on acreage with barns, pole sheds and long sand drives.

What the work looks like in Polk City

This is skid steer country. Fence lines choked with brush, a lot that needs clearing for a house pad, a pasture edge of downed oaks after a storm. Rob brings the Kubota compact track loader with the grapple and does in an afternoon what a crew with saws would need a weekend for, then the dump trailer hauls it out.

The other call is the barn. Rural properties change hands with decades of equipment, feed sacks, tires and furniture stacked in outbuildings. Rob's crew clears the barn and the house in one visit and sorts anything usable for donation. Old grove chemicals and fuel cans go to the county's hazardous-waste drop-off in Winter Haven, not on the trailer.
