About JUNK GRUNTS LLC

On the split-level streets off Sullivan Road, the Junk Grunts truck that hauled a broken washer to the curb in October is the same one nosing a plow blade down a driveway in January. Spokane Valley winters turn dry and sharp once a hard cold front pushes through overnight, and a driveway packed with ice by 6 a.m. commute time is no small thing for a house with two cars and one shift to make. The crew treats a snowed-in carport the way they treat a garage full of junk — clear it out, haul it off, leave the space usable again. There's a rhythm to running the same routes in winter as summer, learning which driveways slope wrong for a two-wheel-drive sedan and which need the salt down first. By the time the plow lights blink off down the block, the driveway's black pavement again, steam rising faintly where the blade scraped through.
