Junk Removal in Ball Ground, GA

Ball Ground specifically

Ball Ground sits at the north end of Cherokee County where I-575 gives out and GA 5 carries on toward the mountains. The old downtown along Gilmer Ferry Road is tight and historic; the newer streets out toward the Etowah River are wide and easy. It is the far edge of what we cover, so we put Ball Ground work on the week rather than fitting it in.

The railroad reached here in 1882 and the town charter followed the next year, drawn as half a mile in every direction from the crossing on the Gilmer Ferry road. That crossing is still the middle of town, and the three-block commercial row along it dates from roughly 1900 to the 1930s. Those buildings have second floors, and a second floor in a hundred-year-old brick block is where old stock, fixtures and furniture go to be forgotten about. Away from the row the land opens toward the Etowah and Long Swamp Creek, and the work out there is outbuildings and acreage.

Getting a trailer in

Downtown loading happens off the street, because the old block was put up before anything needed a dock, and whatever is upstairs comes down one staircase. Outside town the approaches are long and the two-lane roads are slow. This is the last exit before the interstate ends, and past that point everything takes longer than the map suggests.

Turnaround: scheduled ahead, and usually worth combining into one full load. Rome to Ball Ground is about 54 miles by road.

What shapes a job in Ball Ground

Two things make this a poor town for handling it yourself. The first is upstairs. Anything on the second floor of the old brick row comes down one staircase, and those staircases were built narrow and steep and turn at the bottom. The second is the road. Once the interstate ends the route is two-lane and slow, so every trip costs more of the day than the distance implies, and that difference compounds across the four or five loads a real clearance takes.

Questions from Ball Ground

How far out is Ball Ground, honestly?

It is the far corner of the area, and the last stretch is all two-lane, so it eats more of a day than the mileage implies. We plan Ball Ground into a week rather than into an afternoon. A full load makes the drive work. One chair does not, so if it is small, hold it until there is more of it or until a neighbor has something going too.

Is there a minimum size for a job this far out?

No fixed minimum. At this distance one item on its own is hard to justify and a full trailer is easy. If yours is small, ask what we already have booked up that way, because two jobs on one run is how a small load out here becomes worth the drive for both of us.

How soon can you get to Ball Ground?

Scheduled ahead, and usually worth combining into one full load. At about 54 road miles Ball Ground sits at the edge of what we cover, so the more notice you give us the better.
