Vermont Junk

About Vermont Junk

In January, Dorset Peak and Mount Aeolus stand over the valley like broad white shoulders, and a winter storm can leave the whole Valley of Vermont under a heavy quilt. In East Dorset, where the Batten Kill begins as a thin dark trickle, mornings after a storm can find whole driveways buried. Vermont Junk, a business whose everyday work is clearing away what people don't need, brings that same purpose to snow removal across Dorset, opening driveways and walks and shifting the weight of a storm aside. The work is plain and physical, and the result is easy to read: a drive open to the road, a path from the door to the car. Under the hard blue sky that follows, with the peaks bright above the valley, a dug-out house looks handed back to the people inside it.
