Valentine’s Day is all about love, but one junk removal business in Franklin wants to help people move on from past lovers.
Junk King will accept your ex’s junk Saturday and while you finally get rid of his hoodie or an old gift from her, you can be confident tossing the stuff will actually help others.
People will find Junk King’s big red truck inside the Berry Farms Town Center Park in front of Biscuit Love and the Cookie Fix from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m.
People can donate up to two items, and for every item donated, Junk King will donate $1 to the American Heart Association up to $500 in honor of American Heart Month, which raises awareness for cardiovascular health and stroke and heart disease prevention.
Junk King is also committed to donating at least 60 percent of the items it collects, so you can be sure your ex’s stuff won’t go to waste and can help others in the community.
Owner of the Franklin Junk King, Justin Leedy, said doing this is poking a little fun at the typically romantic holiday, but it could also be healing for many.
