JDog Junk Removal & Hauling Enters Iowa, Now Servicing Polk County
Local Army Veteran Expands Business' Movement to Help Employ Veterans
Altoona, Iowa – (Sept. 30, 2016) – JDog Junk Removal & Hauling, a rapidly growing national company on a mission to offer business ownership opportunities to veterans and their family members, is now servicing Polk County. JDog franchisees provide junk removal and hauling services to both residential and commercial customers, delivering service the military way: with respect, integrity and trust. To celebrate the grand opening, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at noon on Friday, Sept. 30, at Enabling Garden, 1050 1st Avenue South in Altoona, with a celebration to follow from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The new JDog is owned by Altoona native Justin Pollard, who is a veteran of the U.S. Army Reserve. Pollard served 15 years as a military police officer, completing two tours in Iraq and one in Cuba. He then returned to Iowa, where he worked as a corrections officer, before discovering the career opportunity JDog offered.
“JDog was the perfect opportunity for me to do something positive for the community and help employ veterans who have obtained the drive and want to succeed,” said Pollard. “It allows me to hire veterans and carry on the brotherhood that you otherwise only experience by being in the military.”
