JDog Junk Removal & Hauling Enters Georgia, Now Servicing Gwinnett County

Lawrenceville Army Veteran Expands National Movement to Help Employ Veterans

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 Gwinnett 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.

The new JDog will service Lawrenceville and the surrounding Gwinnett County area, and is owned by Lawrenceville couple Forrest and Rebecca Woodland. Forrest served in the armor branch of the Army from 2008 to 2015. Both local to the Gwinnett County area, Forrest and Rebecca wanted an opportunity for them to help the community and give back where they can.

“I wanted to own a business that embraced the military ethos that I believe in, as well as one that would give veterans the opportunity to work together to make an impact within our community,” said Forrest. “Through JDog, I have the chance to provide Lawrenceville and the surrounding areas with a valuable service that is built upon a strong set of military values.”

The franchise is one of two JDog locations to debut this week in Georgia. Forrest and Rebecca hope to provide local veterans with jobs in the coming years as their business expands in the area. A grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 4 at noon at the VFW Post 5255, located at 368 Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville.

JDog awards franchises exclusively to military veterans and their family members. Franchise owners operate easily recognizable, camouflage vehicles and trailers and wear military-style uniforms. JDog recycles and repurposes a substantial amount of the material they pick up. The Philadelphia-based company works closely with local and national organizations like Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity, as well as local schools, churches and hospitals to donate useful items to those in need.
