JDog Junk Removal & Hauling Now Servicing Chestnut Hill
Local Entrepreneur Expands Business' 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 the Chestnut Hill area. 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 Chestnut Hill and the surrounding Northwest Philadelphia area, and is owned by 28-year-old local entrepreneur Bill Read, the grandson of two World War II Army veterans, who served in counter intelligence and artillery. Read received an economics degree from Penn State University.
“I wanted to own a business that embraced the military ethos and that would give work opportunities to veterans in our community,” said Read. “JDog offered a chance to provide the Chestnut Hill area with a valuable service that is built upon a strong set of military values.”

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.
