How access differs across Union County
Union County is rural, and the way a job runs changes with the property. About 76 percent of homes here are single-family detached, which often means the junk is spread between a house, a detached garage, and an outbuilding. The crew plans for multiple trips between the building and the truck.
The age of the housing stock also shapes the work. The median year a home here was built is 1961, and about 74 percent of homes were built before 1980. Older homes frequently have narrow stairways, low ceilings, and tight doorways, so the crew comes prepared to maneuver large pieces without damaging walls or railings.
Only about 4 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, so newer, wider layouts are the exception rather than the rule. About 5 percent of homes are mobile or manufactured, which can present their own access limits. Whatever the layout, the team adapts to the specific property.
