Last month, my son and I spent a Sunday ripping out our hot tub. (Mice had moved in over the winter.) By that evening, we had a pile in the front yard with nowhere to put it. That night I messaged Adam Ellinger, the owner of Nelson Storage and Dumpster in Afton (540-292-3767, adam@nsdumpster.com). He had a dumpster in our driveway Monday. We loaded it that day, Tuesday morning it was gone. Adam answered, he showed up, he hauled it off. No chasing him down, no waiting a week for a call back. Submitted by Chris Lowthert. May 2026
