About Mike
Mike Reardon has spent more than a decade in the junk removal and hauling business, starting on the back of a truck and working his way up to managing crews and dispatch. At Junk Rhinos he oversees day-to-day operations: estimates, crew logistics, and disposal partnerships with local donation centers and recyclers.
He's personally quoted everything from single-mattress pickups to full estate cleanouts, which is exactly the experience he draws on when breaking down pricing and process for readers. When he's not on a job site, he's usually restoring an old pickup that, ironically, refuses to be hauled away.
